X2O (Booth #330)
<< BACK TO WPC EXPO HALL GUIDE
Name: David Wilkins
Title: President of X20
RCP: What's the elevator pitch for your company to a Microsoft partner?
Wilkins: X2O Media enables visual communications -- users can easily create video channels with links to real-time data and publish those channels to any device. With the X2O platform, content already stored in SharePoint is automatically mapped to stunning graphics, letting even non-technical users create TV-quality channels. Examples of channels include dashboard channels, company and department news channels, training channels and more.
For partners who may not have thought about your company since the last WPC, what would they need to know about what you've been up to for the past 12 months?
It's our first WPC. In the last 12 months, we've created a new generation of channel designer tools that further simplify the content creation process. We've also developed tools to publish to additional devices, including tablets and smart phones.
Out of your entire product portfolio, what's the product or service that Microsoft partners should be aware of right now?
SharePoint TV -- it lets users quickly create and publish professional video channels featuring live data, videos, images, calendars, PowerPoint slides and dashboard data to any display, including Windows phones, tablets, digital displays and desktops.
