Volicon Among Tech Leaders Honored as Finalist for Massachusetts Technology Leadership Council Award
Volicon Observer® Digital Media Logging and Monitoring System Named as Finalist for “Product of the Year” for Its Content Matching Technology
BURLINGTON, Mass. — Nov. 10, 2010 — Volicon today announced that its Observer® digital media logging and monitoring system was selected as a finalist for “Product of the Year” in Massachusetts Technology Leadership Council’s (MassTLC) 13th Annual Mass Technology Leadership Awards program. The Observer system was nominated for its Content Matching Module (CMM), which gives content providers, media companies, and regulators an automated solution for monitoring when media assets, such as specific advertisements, are broadcast for ad verification and tracking purposes. The fully integrated Observer Content Matching Module empowers the operator with highly efficient search and detection tools for monitoring aired audiovisual (A/V) assets and for ensuring adherence to regulatory and/or licensing requirements.
“We’re honored that our Observer CMM was recognized from within a truly amazing array of new products from a broad group of outstanding public and private high-tech companies,” said Mike Asebrook, senior director of product marketing of Volicon. “While Volicon products are widely regarded as setting the worldwide standard for video monitoring, we’re proud that our technology also has proved to be competitive among the many innovative and highly venture-backed products introduced this year in Massachusetts’ very active high-tech market.”
The Observer is the digital monitoring and logging solution of choice for large media enterprises and organizations such as the Discovery Channel, CBS, Fox News, Time Warner, and the U.S. Armed Forces. Increasingly, governments and municipalities are adopting the Observer — and its CMM in particular — for media monitoring and to capture outgoing broadcasts for public information and regulatory purposes. One key example is the Mexican government’s Federal Electoral Institute (Instituto Federal Electoral or IFE), which installed the Observer to monitor more than 2,300 radio and television stations around the country to ensure that political advertising is in compliance with federal election laws.
Several hundred technology leaders and award nominees turned out for the Nov. 3 announcement of MassTLC’s Technology Leadership Awards finalists at Boston’s Seaport Hotel. Massachusetts’ diverse and ever-evolving tech industry was on full display for nearly 500 executives during the gala, at which robotics and energy companies took honors alongside software and communications companies including Volicon.
