"Originally, screen savers were intended to prevent computer monitors from burning out", says Frank Hoen, president and founder of Netpresenter. "We soon realized, however, that they had a much wider use. Our Corporate Communications Suite enables organizations to set up their own news channels, without unsolicited advertising. Whatever line of business they are in, whatever network they have. The screen saver automatically kicks in when news updates are made available."

When asked for explanations, Ton Jansen, spokesmen of the Dutch Police Force, reports two possible causes. First of all the speed with which news is disseminated. "Last week, for example, we had an important incident reported at 16.55 on a Friday afternoon.
-- Have you ever tried to get something done on a Friday afternoon? -- Now the news was all over the place in seconds flat." And secondly, "The screen saver jogs the collective memory of everybody on the force. Remarks like ‘Who was that guy again they briefed us about’ are things of the past. With one glance at the screen, everyone knows instantly who’s on our most-wanted list".

"Netpresenter has been invaluable," says the Head of Briefings of a North London Police Force. "In particular its ability to automatically display pictures from closed-circuit television cameras has resulted in the identification and arrest of numerous individuals." The Dutch police has similar experiences. "On one occasion we arrested an arsonist because an officer saw his picture on the screen saver, on other occasions pictures of stolen cars helped us to successfully retrieve them. Fraud with ATM machines has become a dangerous business, since photos of the suspects are automatically displayed to every officer."

This week Netpresenter will appear on Internet Showcase in San Diego, CA. A by-invitation-only executive conference where the technology elite meet to get a hands-on look at a select group of the hottest products and technologies for Internet and Intranet users. "Netpresenter is an example of socially-redeeming push," says David Coursey, America’s most influential IT newsletter editor. "It’s a nice application in a space that’s been way overhyped. Netpresenter does a good job of what it promises."
