Positive response following the NEC Solutions Showcase 2017
Welcoming roughly 1500 unique visitors over the two day
event, The 2017 NEC Solutions Showcase held at Victoria
House, Holborn has enjoyed an overwhelmingly positive
response from attendees and participants. “We are thrilled
by the commitment shown by our partners and I am
delighted that this has been rewarded by attracting a very
high quality attendance to Showcase, resulting in genuine
sales leads and valuable connections”, says Neil Hartigan,
general manager of NEC Display Solutions.
The enduring success of the Showcase is grounded
in NEC’s collaboration with its partners. The event saw 36
partners, best of breed in their specialisms, cooperate to
demonstrate real-life solutions, in live working environments.
This year saw an increased emphasis on live collaboration,
cloud-based working and live data feeds with live VC links not
only across the Show but also to other locations helping to
bring a realistic working environment to life.

partners were able to demonstrate the ‘black box’ elements
of their solution, helping visitors to gain an understanding
of what makes it work. “Keeping equipment racks visible
and not simply showing a screen, adds a level of complexity
which offers real tangible value for visitors”, says Craig
McQueen, solutions sales manager at NEC Display Solutions.
“A sector specific hands-on experience of end to end
solutions is particularly appealing to our end user visitors
who can visualise how the solution could be recreated within
their own environment.”
NEC’s Open Modular Intelligence platform featured
throughout Showcase delivering powerful scalable
computing performance. Three partners, Intevi,
Futuresoftware and Tripleplay presented their Digital Signage
and IPTV solutions based on Raspberry Pi with Cabletime
and Exterity expressing interest in the open architecture
which offers unlimited software development potential. n
