THE BOSTON CELTICS TURN TO VIDERÉ CONFERENCING FOR TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT AT NEW CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS

High-Tech Surroundings For Celtics Brass

August 23, 2005

Quincy, MA.­ Videré Conferencing, New England's leading provider of video, audio and web conferencing solutions, announced today that they have completed a major project at The Boston Celtics new corporate headquarters.

Videré is a full-service organization that manages every aspect of the conferencing project, from best practices consultation, to product selection, custom installations, training, maintenance and support.

Videré worked closely with the Celtics to custom design a state-of-the-art board room as well as two additional conference rooms and several senior executive offices. The conferencing technology used in this project is a significant upgrade over old facility. Instead of a portable screen and desktop projector that cluttered the conference table with wires and distracting noise, everything is now controlled through a single customer programmed control console, hidden from view. The room contains Plasma and LCD displays, integrated microphone and speaker audio system and multi-media presentation capabilities.

“Prior to this upgrade, executives limited their use of the projector because it was so distracting with everything that was involved. What we have today is a great enhancement to the office space,” said Jay Wessel, senior director of technology for the Boston Celtics. “I’ve been involved in the AV world for a number of years and Videré’s professionalism and technology expertise were exceptional and the installation went incredibly smooth.”

“As a longtime fan of the team, it was a thrill to work for the Celtics. As a business owner, they were outstanding to deal with on every level,” said Bill Benoit, co-founder of Videré Conferencing. “The Celtics now have the most up-to-date technology at their fingertips and this will allow them to focus on their goal of bringing another NBA championship to Boston and not on technology limitations.”
