LearningPoint Changes Name to SimonShows.
- New name better reflects the company's position as THE provider of media-rich web sharing tools.
- The re-branding sets the stage for the roll-out of four new products over the next several months including SimonShowsBusiness.
Pittsburgh, PA - July 17, 2007 - LearningPoint, a provider of web sharing solutions, announced today that it has changed its name to SimonShows to better reflect the direction that the company is heading. Its current product called Collaborate will also be changed to SimonShowsBusiness.
"Over the past six months, we have been working on a strategy that will better leverage our media-rich, web sharing and delivery technology to meet the needs of organizations and individuals in today's push/pull information sharing age" said Kevin Orzechowski, President and CEO of SimonShows. "Our new name more clearly describes what we do because our technology allows anyone to share their knowledge by showing how to do things in a media-rich environment...thus the name SimonShows"
In the next few months, SimonShows will be releasing three additional products to complement SimonShowsBusiness that will further expand their penetration into the information sharing corporate and consumer markets.
"We are very excited about the near term future for SimonShows" said Jeryl Schreiner, Managing Director of Idea Foundry. "The synergy among the new products creates a strong value proposition for their customers, and positions SimonShows as offering a truly unique combination of web sharing tools for the non-technical person. People who have content to share now have a place and a means to both organize and distribute it."
"I have been very impressed with the technology that underpins SimonShows and the way that their management team has put together their new strategy" said Phil Compton, Pittsburgh-area entrepreneur and consultant. "This is a very exciting time for the company and I believe they are positioning themselves to gain strong early traction in the market for web-based multimedia content sharing tools."
