David Shimell, Sales Director for VideoCentric, said, “these new teaching and corporate training packages are available now and can be adapted for existing users of other interactive whiteboards such as TDS, Hitachi, Cleverboard or Promethean. A software developer’s toolkit is also available for integrators wishing to build interactive video conferencing and streaming into vertical applications, eg tele-medicine, medical teaching, banking, finance and legal. The FrontPro package was successfully demonstrated at the WAVE 2004 exhibition in November and this will be followed by an educational training day in January for BECTA resellers shortly after BETT 2005”.
