FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PolyVision® wins the Buildings Magazine Product Innovation Award in Workplace Productivity for the new CopyCam® Image Capturing System with USB capability.
Chicago, IL (June 11, 2007) – PolyVision, global leader in interactive and premium whiteboards, is previewing the next generation CopyCam Image Capturing System with USB capability at NeoCon’s World Trade Fair in Chicago, IL in the Vecta Showroom #303. Having been awarded a Citation of Excellence prior to the event, PolyVision went on to win the Buildings Magazine Grand Prize award for Product Innovations in the Workplace Productivity category for the new CopyCam.
The new CopyCam with USB capability is expected to be in production in the Fall of 2007. CopyCam Image Capturing System changes an ordinary whiteboard into a copy board, allowing users to instantly capture notes and drawings. The new CopyCam allows users to save notes to the web, to a USB drive, or print to a networked printer which is included with CopyCam. The new CopyCam with USB functionality supports greater flexibility in sharing, saving and referencing the saved data.
CopyCam with USB is an ideal workplace solution for organizations and teams that regularly work in a collaborative environment. Meetings are easier to facilitate, enabling employees to be more productive and efficient by eliminating the administrative follow up from a brainstorming session or meeting. The role of note-taker and information distributor is no longer needed. With the simple push of a button, all the information shared and discussed can be accessible via the web, print and now, taken away on a USB device. With USB capability, CopyCam takes the idea of image capturing systems to a new level of simplicity and usability.
Mike Dunn, President and CEO of PolyVision comments on the company’s product strategy, "We observe study and ultimately design 'Information Appliances,' technology that facilitates collaboration and appliances that are simply 'must haves' in the workplace. We believe the return on investment for technology spending is user adoption, which comes from one primary thing and that's 'ease of use.' We spend more resources and energy on user interaction design than just about any other area of product development, and that's what makes an information appliance work and ultimately be adopted. CopyCam is quite simply the easiest product of its type to use, anywhere."
CopyCam is also featured with One Click Publishing™, a paper-free solution that merges the convenience of email with the power of PolyVision’s note-capturing appliance. In conjunction with RoomWizard®, one touch of a button emails meeting notes to all meeting participants, simply and easily.
Additionally, PolyVision is committed to a corporate environmental strategy. Thus, PolyVision has achieved environmental certifications: Cradle to CradleSM Silver Certification and GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality® Certification. Both require rigorous testing and evaluations of the products.
