SCN editor Kirsten Nelson is hosting a webinar that poses a question we've all been wondering about: "Display Software? How Do I Sell That?" Scheduled for May 8, 2014 at 2.00 p.m. EDT, the webinar is sponsored by Mersive, makers of Solstice display and collaboration software that provides an answer to another big question: "How can I wirelessly share video from mobile devices on a presentation screen?"
If you're wondering how to do that, and you want to hear from someone who has actually integrated Solstice into a major application and uses it daily, then you'll want to register for this webinar. (You can register for free here, by the way.)
- The special guest star of the webinar will be Marko Jarymovych, IT technical director of the public technology group in Wharton Computing. The very engaging and informative Jarymovych uses Mersive software across his deployment of classroom technology and instructional services for the Philadelphia and San Francisco campus of the Wharton School. You'll definitely want to hear his real-world perspective as revealed in a conversation with Mersive founder and CTO Christopher Jaynes and CEO Rob Balgley.
- As we get closer to InfoComm 2014, many are hoping to discover new ways to simplify the connection between customers and their mobile device data. Among these will be Mersive, which this year will be making a big splash at the entrance to the show floor. Mersive's Solstice software is proven and tested in the field, and the launch of a new version adds to its features and capabilities. But how does it really work in the AV setting?
- Find out in this webinar, which was designed for AV integration professionals. In this session, Mersive executives will provide their high-level vision of how software is changing the game, reveal Solstice's new technical and functional options, and share insights into how the AV sales approach will change with new offerings like Solstice.
SCN's April 2014 Future Trends Survey identified "mobile device integration" as the top demand across commercial AV customer sets today. In addition to unified communications demands, there is a larger need for easy connection to an AV presentation system, and communicating in real-time with data and images in a meaningful way.
Are your clients still "shoulder surfing" in meetings? Whether million-dollar decisions are at stake, lives and security hang in the balance, or collaboration is key to an optimal outcome, in order for AV consultants and integrators to stay in the game even as hardware fades away, we really have to make it easier to make information from mobile devices visually accessible in a group setting.
