AMX Forms Network Media Group

Richardson, Texas (PRWEB) August 12, 2011

AMX®, the leading provider of solutions that simplify the implementation, maintenance, and use of technology to create effective environments, today announced the creation of a Network Media Group to advance its line of IP-based media distribution and control solutions. AMX has garnered much praise from industry experts and press recently with its network-centric solutions that integrate AV and IT. With the formation of this team, the company further cements its commitment to this growing trend.

The mission of this newly formed group is to understand the unique requirements of a fully IT compatible AV solution and adapt existing products and develop new products necessary to meet these requirements. At the outset, the Network Media Group will span the U.S. and U.K and bring together teams responsible for current AMX IP-media product families including, Vision2 IPTV systems, the Inspired Signage line and the Television Distribution System (TDS).

This team will focus on enhancing the capabilities of these lines for AV control, media management and distribution over IP networks, specifically pertaining to live and on-demand streaming of video, music and multimedia content, television content and digital signage content.

"Without question the marketplace is moving to the IP network as the network of choice for audiovisual content," said AMX President and CEO Rashid Skaf. "AMX's leading-edge IP-based AV distribution technology is engineered for optimal performance in IT frameworks - making the integration of these solutions in commercial environments the easiest and most effective for IT managers to introduce. The objective of the Network Media Group is to continue to push this technology, developing the next generation IP-based solutions, ensuring our dealers are equipped with the best solutions available."

With AMX's Vision2, Inspired Signage and Television Distribution System a company can significantly improve communication within their organization by using their existing network infrastructure to stream live announcements from company officials corporate-wide, distribute and manage digital signage content, incorporate television content within their signage and even create their own corporate video channel.

As these solutions are built for IT networks, they are scalable for future growth and allow remote management via the network as well as from a PC, touch panel or keypad.

Social Media Group's time off policy in the news (again) | Social ...

Our time off policy is the gift that keeps on giving in terms of media interest and coverage. An interview with Maggie was featured on the front page of the Toronto Star , so we’ve had a flurry of interest and discussion (including a piece on the national edition of Global Television News, video below). We’ve also had many people declare that they’d like to work with us. We’re always on the lookout for incredible people to join our team; please check out the Careers area of our site to learn more.

When we decided to offer uncapped paid time off last year, it wasn’t for public relations value. It was because we wanted to have a time off policy that made sense in the context of our work. We’re knowledge workers, so to be at our best we know that we need to be well-rested and focused. We work hard. That work is exciting and engrossing but it isn’t easy.  We work with our incredible clients in social media marketing, business process transformation, conversation research and analysis and measurement. We spend long hours in front of our laptops, travel many miles on client business (over 300,000 since 2009 according to Tripit ) and drive ourselves to be strategic and creative while doing the hard work of applied innovation.

We also eat our own dog food. We counsel clients who are working to scale social media inside their operations to embrace a culture of employee accountability instead of control. I know that I personally would have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning if we didn’t walk the talk ourselves.

Having administered this new policy for the past year, I can honestly say that it works and that our people make use of it weekly and respond with professionalism. Our time off policy has become part of our DNA and I hope more knowledge-based organizations adopt this approach.
