New wireless meeting room presentation system to enhance video conferencing experience at enterprise level

Dubai, UAE, 24 June 2013: Dubai-based FVC, a leading Value Added Distributor in the Middle East & Africa, has signed a distribution agreement with Barco for its ClickShare wireless presentation and collaboration system. ClickShare fits in perfectly with FVC's existing offering. With the addition of Barco's presentation solution, FVC can now present its clients with an all-in-one package for a state-of-the-art meeting room.

ClickShare allows meeting participants to show their presentations on meeting room screens simply by connecting the USB device to their laptops. Connecting a ClickShare button to a laptop will not change the screen resolution, so users can be confident that the presentation will be in proportion and displayed to the highest possible resolution. ClickShare can be used directly with a projector/screen or integrated with a video conferencing or AV system.

K.S. Parag, Managing Director at FVC, added, "We are delighted to add Barco's ClickShare to our portfolio. The beauty of the solution is in its simplicity. Regardless of the sophisticated set-up, ClickShare manages the technology without the need for additional cabling or downloading complex applications. As one of the leading VADs that has championed the cause of unified communications in the region, our partners and customers rely on us to continuously add value-added accessories that enable them to provide creative solutions to the business needs of this region."

As a leading VAD for video conferencing systems and peripherals, FVC is deemed one of the most important distributors in the region. The company has offices in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco, Kenya, Nigeria and a growing network of channel partners in 45 countries. This broad geographical reach and market leadership has played a major role in Barco's decision to join forces with FVC.

"We're looking for distribution partners with a broad reseller network, a wide geographic reach as well as a fitting portfolio", comments Eric Brouwers, Regional Director MEA at Barco. "FVC is a perfect match on all fronts. Its reseller network is the perfect channel to push products like ClickShare. On top of that, the company has proven to be particularly good in approaching and stimulating its various channels through incentives, seminars, trainings and promotional actions."
