Jupiter Systems Reports Record Year of Achievement


Jupiter Systems, the leading worldwide supplier of collaborative visualization solutions for PCs, mobile devices, conference rooms, and video walls today announced a record year as its investments in new collaborative visualization tools for the enterprise yield major wins.

"Managers in every industry and public agency want to share live video and data, and collaborate with remote colleagues, no matter where they are and no matter what devices they have with them-laptops, tablets, smartphones, desktop screens, and videowalls. Access to information must be ubiquitous and easy. Users need the same level of productive collaboration they would enjoy if in the same room together," said Brady O. Bruce, Vice President of Marketing and Strategic Alliances for Jupiter Systems. "Jupiter is investing heavily in meeting those customer requirements, creating new products, exploring new technologies, and expanding our organization. The sales we've made to Global 2000 enterprises around the world, the awards we've won, and the benefits our customers are reporting tell us we're doing the right thing."
