4/17/0310 To provide an integrated media solution through the use of software, hardware, and a straightforward user interface in a networked environment.

4/17/0311 Reduce media access costs Centralize the location of multimedia and media devices Provide single-device access points to multimedia Facilitate media access through user software and GUI interfaces. Provide a multi-user system through a networked environment File security and administration features Password/Login system access Administration capabilities

4/17/0312 Where IMS can be used to provide a media solution unique to the home, it can also provide a number of solutions unique to a particular business. “Businesses don’t just need media access, they need sophistication.” - Robert Jones / VP Facilities – Noland Properties

4/17/0313 Old Dominion University Teletechnet Program The Teletechnet Center can spend up to $500,000 per semester on VCR tape duplication Using the IMS system to store video streams for quick access through the IMS Access Unit, could significantly reduce tape duplication costs “There are aspects of IMS that could save this organization time and money.” - Dr. M’Hammed Abdous / Instructional Designer - ODU

4/17/0314 Noland Company Has a variety of media needs Showroom videos and audio Noland University 50+ media resources for training Like ODU Teletechnet, resources must be duplicated and distributed to 99 branches in 13 states “Our company could benefit from a system like yours” - Robert Jones/ VP Facilities – Noland Properties

4/17/0315 W.M. Jordan On-site access to company materials is vital Purchase of “dumb terminals” for each new project to access project information (visual tools) is wasteful. “Given the nature of our business, W.M. Jordan is ahead of the curve. However, given the access capabilities and customization of IMS, we could easily save a good deal of money.” - Cliff Moore / Business Development Manager – W.M. Jordan
