POLYVISION DEFINES THE NEXT FRONTIER IN ENTERPRISE COLLABORATION
Next generation in visual communications evolves with new enterprise collaboration tool
 

LAS VEGAS (June 8, 2005) – PolyVision Corporation, a Steelcase Company (NYSE:SC) and the world leader in visual communication products, today announced a revolutionary patent pending product that redefines the visual communications industry. The product is code named Thunder™ and it promises to bring group work, learning and collaboration to an unprecedented level.

This ground-breaking product provides the incredible flexibility and collaborative capabilities that current work tools simply cannot deliver. Thunder replaces one dimensional tools, such as the traditional flip chart and video conferencing, with an environment in which local and remote users can collaborate live by sharing, annotating, saving, recalling, displaying and distributing information, regardless of distance or time zone. With Thunder, you can surround your entire team with projected information, there to be studied, absorbed, shared and then stored in an instant when the meeting ends.

“Imagine working with people anywhere, any time, developing ideas, communicating concepts and information and never having to take another note or wish the group was all together in one place,” said Mike Dunn, CEO of PolyVision. “Thunder will change the way the world looks at group work, collaboration, distance and the power of truly harnessing the collective intellect of their enterprise.”

Thunder redefines the creative process, puts an end to lopsided video conferencing, and allows you to “share the world of ideas, with the world” in real-time. Like all of PolyVision’s products, Thunder is designed to be simple to use. With a touch of a button, Thunder enables work groups to easily flip to and from different virtual charts; edit, save, print and email their notes.

PolyVision will be conducting live demonstrations of Thunder at the 2005 InfoComm Conference and Expo. Stop by booth 3000 to see how PolyVision is going to turn the industry upside down again.
