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

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

4/17/03 14

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

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
