The Leader in Remote Video Compression Solutions Selects Ekaru as IT Services Provider for its U.S. Headquarters

WESTFORD MASS., Dec. 8, 2004 - Ekaru, LLC, provider of strategic, hands-on IT services, today announced that OzVision had become a client. OzVision develops and markets remote, high-speed, video compression technology for the security, cellular telecommunications and data communications industries that transmits over any bandwidth, while conserving video quality.

“Ekaru provides us with the outsourced IT services expertise that we’ve been seeking here in the U.S.,” said Ed Mallen, CEO of OzVision. “Currently the company provides us with the practical help we need to expand the range and capability of our office network. As we expand, we can draw upon Ekaru’s engineers, to answer our corporate technology requirements, so that we can concentrate on continuing to grow our business.”
