Systems integrator IVC Media looks to IP future

‘Our focus is predominantly on converged solutions being delivered over IP networks,’ said John Smith.  ‘On the one hand, that may mean delivering improved return on investment for customers by bringing telephony, internet and av together in the workplace.  On the other hand, it may mean large scale multi-capability installations with fast internet access, multi-channel HD TV capabilities, video on demand, telephony, fire detection, secure door entry systems, CCTV, and digital signage all run over a point-to-multipoint, fibre networks, which again has an impact on the ROI.’

John Smith has a background in IT, telecoms, av broadcast and print,  Prior to joining IVC Media, Smith held senior roles at Sony, OKI Systems and Logica, where he was principal consultant working on customer intelligence management projects with global telecoms clients.

As part of the new management structure at IVC, a new IP division has also been created, headed up by Andrew Smith.  Before joining the company, Andrew Smith worked in international account sales at logistics company UPS and was been involved in the development of two VOIP companies.
