GLOW News Glowpoint Expands Video Use at Leading Beverage Distributor
HILLSIDE, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Glowpoint, Inc. (OTC:GLOW.PK),
a leading broadcast-quality, IP-based video managed service provider,
announced that one of the nation's leading distributors of fine wines,
spirits, beers, bottled water, and other non-alcoholic products has
expanded from its original pilot of four locations to 11. Operating in
16 states, the distributor had used ISDN for video communications but
continually suffered poor quality and high costs. After experiencing
Glowpoint network quality and service during a paid pilot for four
locations, the company’s CIO established
Glowpoint as the approved standard.
The customer has since added locations in the last two months, and 11 of
them now use Glowpoint's Managed Video Service. The service offers them
a fully-managed, feature-rich connectivity for IP video communications
with access to many unique services as part of an overall bundled
solution.
“We are seeing this scenario more consistently
in the last few quarters” said Michael
Brandofino, president and CEO of Glowpoint. “Customers
start out with a small paid pilot and begin adding more locations once
they’ve experienced Glowpoint’s
superior service. In 2006, we have had an excellent track record of
converting paid pilots to long-term business, which proves the adage, ‘Seeing
is believing.’”
