We have invested significantly in various trade shows the past couple of years. Has the investment paid off? Sometimes yes. Other times, no. We have spent considerable resources trying to decipher the elements that have contributed to both outcomes.
On SandHill.com in two opinion pieces (Sales and Marketing), Elizabeth K. Cook documents some of the things she witnessed at [...]

We’ve had a good run at Envysion over the past year in terms of industry accolades and awards for our MVaaS solution. Today I had the opportunity to celebrate another award, this time for our Chairman, Dan Caruso.
Dan was honored by the Denver Business Journal in their Power Book edition as the most influential business [...]
Congratulations to Timesight who recently received $4.5M in new funding. It looks like they’ve recently launched a Video storage appliance which implements “Video Lifecycle Management (VLM)”.
It seems that VLM boils down to reducing the frame rate and resolution of stored video images over time. Ie: the older a video is, the [...]
Rarely is it possible for me to enter a retail, restaurant or hospitality establishment without, essentially, casing the joint. I’m constantly reviewing the staffing levels, cleanliness, product display, POS and of course, surveillance.

Or so expensive that sometimes building capabilities into existing applications is less expensive than performing an integration in the first place. Right now [...]
The recent economic turmoil has been a popular topic of discussion the past month. I’m personally impressed at the incredibly high level of volatility of the world stock markets. As investors react to new information, the U.S. market has taken some wild swings. Down 7, up 5, down 6, down 8, up 11 (as measured by the [...]
I write a post about standards and interoperability from time to time, and I’m afraid its time again. To wit; one of our customers has asked for us to incorporate a temperature sensor into our application.
