competition would have to learn how to integrate SCT ’ s software products into the video feed , we were thoroughly familiar with those products and how to show off their capabilities .”
Working quickly , Media Matrix selected WHYY ’ s studios in Wilmington , DE as the origin site for broadcast to the 28-college , satellite-ready Florida consortium . Media Matrix produced speaker support materials for the SCT President and other speakers . An experienced television reporter was hired to facilitate the program on camera . On-line software demonstrations , a major element in SCT ’ s presentation , were coordinated by Media Matrix working together with SCT software experts .
That ’ s not all . Media Matrix also worked with SCT to set up true interactive capabilities in real time , so that top administrators of the 28 schools could telephone into the teleconference live and express their views and ask questions over the air for all to hear . A toll-free number appeared on the screen , giving the audience members instant access to the SCT presenters for questions and comments . The two-hour broadcast went off flawlessly and some of the schools have already chosen SCT to provide their administrative software .
Best of all from SCT ’ s point of view , the second of their two competitors threw in the towel at the last minute , unable to meet the tight deadline or match the capabilities provided by SCT through Media Matrix . The teleconference , through which SCT demonstrated some of their most innovative products for the academic world , was another in the long line of successful ventures for the combination of SCT and Media Matrix .
