Glowpoint Expands Video Use at Leading Beverage Distributor
HILLSIDE, NJ. October 19, 2006 --
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.’”
