Providea Conferencing and VBrick Announce Reseller Partnership
Joint Partnership Allows Providea to Integrate VBrick's Award Winning Streaming Technology with video conferencing Solutions
Quincy, MA - September 15, 2008 - Providea Conferencing, the premier provider of integrated, High Definition (HD) video conferencing, audiovisual (AV) and networked solutions and services, and VBrick Systems, Inc., the industry leader in online streaming video, today announced a partnership in which Providea Conferencing will resell VBrick's suite of enterprise video systems as part of their world-class video conferencing solutions and service offerings.
This relationship has already proven successful as educational institutions such as Greater Lowell Technical High School in Lowell, Massachusetts and Smith College of Northampton, Massachusetts have entered into agreements to benefit from this best of breed technology. Providea Conferencing has placed VBrick products and services under their existing Massachusetts State Contract partnership.
Lowell Technical High School leveraged VBrick and Providea's combined expertise to implement a cable TV solution, which allows the school to stream, record and store live cable television distribution over their data network for playback and educational use throughout the year.
"Selecting VBrick and Providea as our providers was an easy choice as their partnership allowed us to implement best in classroom video services," said Michael Barton, Director of Media and Professional Development at Greater Lowell Technical High School Lowell Technical High School. Establishing a viable VBrick system for our students is a key part of curriculum. With the help of VBrick and Providea, we were able to launch our system as well as seamlessly integrate a solution that could also accommodate all of our needs."
In addition to streaming six television channels into the classroom, Lowell is also using the technology for video conferencing, channel guide information and scheduling live and on-demand broadcasts.
"From the start, our partnership with best of breed video provider VBrick has been a win/ win situation for us, as many of our customers are taking their HD video conferencing solutions to the next level - requiring digital capture and distribution of their video conferencing content," said William Benoit, Co-Founder of Providea Conferencing. "Our customers in the local government and education sectors have been particularly focused on gaining this capability."
Providea and VBrick's combined knowledge of the educational, government, legal and financial verticals, now makes it easy for organizations within this market to have access to best-of-breed video solutions from providers with intimate knowledge of their industry.
"As an enterprise video provider with a reputation for offering robust, cutting edge capabilities, we are very pleased to align ourselves with a leader in state of the art, customized HD video conferencing," said Vince Graziani, chief executive officer, VBrick Systems, Inc. "Leveraging our combined expertise, we will be at the forefront of bringing enterprises a complete end-to-end video solution."
