TechDecisions’ Most Notable Products of 2014

“We’ve selected Pexip Infinity as our recommended bridging platform for our customers. The platform offers very interesting features in its distributed architecture which is only available from Pexip to my knowledge. The interoperability story is a major component in the Pexip story and those of its competitors, but we’re uniquely intrigued by the extent of the effort the Pexip R&D team has put into the product – and the fact that all of the interop features are included at no additional cost. There is no doubt virtual MCUs are the future, and we believe Pexip to be one of the notable products of 2014 because of their approach to providing a solution in this space.”

“I’d like to nominate RockDove Solution’s In Case of Crisis mobile emergency preparedness application. The solution has been instrumental in helping share and communicate our emergency and safety plans among our employees - critical as we are often among the first responders during a disaster. We utilize the In Case of Crisis mobile app to properly train and educate our employees on new as well as existing safety procedures and have found the app’s flexibility and robust incident reporting features are must-haves when situations arise. We would highly recommend the In Case of Crisis solution to any corporate entity looking to share critical emergency preparedness information to its employees.“

-Jody Grizz, CSP, CUSA, CPEA LG&E and KU

“The LG 84-inch 4K Ultra HD Multi-Touch Signage display is optimized with 4K technology (with more than 8 million pixels) and features LG’s unique IPS [In Plane Switching] panel technology. The product should be considered as a 2014 notable product because the 10-point touch screen technology represents the next generation of digital display, and allows for a more intuitive user experience than a screen requiring a stylus. In addition to zooming, rotating or writing onscreen messages with your fingers, LG’s 84-inch 4K Ultra HD Multi-touch monitor is easy to use with one gesture, making it ideal for a variety of commercial and educational applications.”

-Dave Pollock, Av Dallas
