Pipe surveying, reporting

flexidata, a provider of turn-key software and hardware systems for pipe survey reporting, is offering real-time, live product demonstrations through WebEx, a web-based technology provider. The demonstrations will allow the viewer to experience flexidata hands-on from their own computer using a dial-up Internet connection and telephone for voice communication with the demonstration facilitator. The facilitator can "turn over the reins" to the viewer and give them the opportunity to input data and explore the program just as if the application were installed on their own desktop.
