For Malvern-based computer software experts
SCT, the challenge was clear: Win an important contract by producing an interactive satellite-based teleconference for the Florida Consortium of Community Colleges, including video, speaker support, graphics, real-time audience feedback and additional technologies—in only two weeks. The solution that played a major role in landing the teleconference contract: Media Matrix.

Media Matrix creativity, production skills,
and experience with SCT allowed them to provide full-service support for the ambitious project and meet the uncommonly tight turnaround time—a feat that two experienced SCT competitors were unable to match. "It helped that we're so familiar with SCT and their products and services," said Media Matrix President Michael Olenski. "Where other potential

producers would have to shoot new footage,
we had a library of existing SCT shots covering the last several years. Where the 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.
