ViewSonic Named 2012 CRN Channel Champion

Honored again as the Top Vendor in the Flat Panel Displays Category


WALNUT, Calif – March 12, 2012 – ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of computing, consumer electronics and communications solutions, was named a 2012 Channel Champion by CRN in the category of Flat Panel Displays 19”-30” at an awards ceremony during the XChange Solution Provider conference on March 6, 2012 in Los Angeles, Calif. CRN’s annual Channel Champion awards are based on the results of a series of surveys conducted with top solution providers. Awards were presented in 27 technology categories.

The CRN Channel Champions survey is the largest and broadest-based technology integrator market study in the industry, measuring the overall perceptions of vendor products and services by IT Solution Providers. Awards are presented to vendors based on the perception of their Channel partners in the areas of technological satisfaction, support satisfaction and financial benefits. The end result is a list of the most partner-friendly vendors in the channel, serving as a valuable resource for technology integrators when evaluating vendors and their programs.

“We are proud that solution providers continue to affirm their loyalty in ViewSonic,” said Jeff Volpe, president of ViewSonic Americas. “We pride ourselves on providing VARs with a diversified product portfolio, along with the opportunities and resources they need to grow their businesses, via our Finch Club program. We are honored that Everything Channel has again recognized these efforts with such a prestigious award.”

“To receive a Channel Champion award is a very honorable distinction,” said Kelley Damore, Vice President and Executive Editor at CRN. “What makes this award so special is that fact that vendor winners are voted on by solution providers based on their dedication to supporting and maintaining a strong channel program. This award is a direct result of their ability to develop and grow solid, mutually beneficial relationships with partners. We congratulate these leading technology vendors on this recognition.”

A sample list of Channel Champions award winners and related study will be published in the April 23, 2012 issue of CRN magazine and online at www.crn.com.

Making The Case For Why Dual Monitors Increase Workplace Productivity

You may have sat at your desk, staring at your computer screen thinking, “It sure would be nice if I had two monitors.” In the following few words, we aim to give you irrefutable evidence to share with your management team about why adding another monitor to your desktop will increase workplace productivity.


 



Several studies have concluded that dual-monitor setups take productivity to the next level, including one done by researchers at Microsoft, who found that second monitor can boost productivity by up to 50% when it comes to tasks like copying and pasting[1]. A Jon Peddie Research survey also found that an extra monitor boosts output between 20-30%[2].


 


With a single monitor, every time a new window is brought up on the screen, your eyes and brain need to reorient themselves. These seconds of mental processing can add up. In fact, The University of Utah determined that workers could save up to 2.5 hours per day when using larger (24”) or dual monitors[3]. That means in an 8.5-hour workday, your employer will benefit from over an extra day of productivity per week from you, while you’ll enjoy more screen real estate and easier working. It’s a win-win.


 


Consider having your email up on one screen and a document you are working on up on the other. Do you IM a lot with coworkers about projects? Try reserving a screen for chats so you can still check email simultaneously. Or try using one screen to pull up websites or other documents you need to refer to, eliminating the need to print out materials. Simply sweep the mouse and files move from one screen to the other, enabling maximum efficiency.


 


If your boss won’t go for the argument that a dual-monitor set up will make you a happier, more productive employee, then suggest going with a larger screen next time your company is ready to upgrade. For instance, a 24” monitor is ideal for side-by-side dual document editing and viewing, and delivers about 50% more screen area than a single 19” model provides.


 


Are you using a dual-monitor setup at work? How do you feel it has impacted your productivity?


 



 


Women's Hockey Announces Partners for Autism Awareness Project

HAMILTON, N.Y. (1/27/12) – The Colgate women's hockey team will partner with Autism Speaks, ViewSonic and Goals for Good in its 2012 Autism Awareness Project.


2012 Colgate Women's Hockey Autism Awareness Project




HAMILTON, N.Y. (1/27/12) – The Colgate women's hockey team will partner with Autism Speaks, ViewSonic and Goals for Good in its 2012 Autism Awareness Project.

The Raiders will launch the 2012 project with their annual Light Up Starr Rink Blue event that will take place on Feb. 3 in its ECAC Hockey matchup against Union at 7 p.m.

“We are thrilled to continue our work with Autism Speaks and have added some great new partners this year,” stated head coach Scott Wiley. “We really wanted to build on the momentum we created in 2011 by adding new and exciting elements to the project through new partnerships and initiatives. This year we added ViewSonic and Goals for Good as partners and we look forward to working with them to achieve this year's goals which are to raise $30,000, broaden our outreach efforts, and provide resources and networking for people on the autism spectrum.”

The team will partner with Autism Speaks once again this season. Last year, Colgate partnered with Autism Speaks U and established a Colgate chapter to support the work of Autism Speaks, North America's largest autism science and advocacy organization.

“I am excited to attend the second annual event and thankful to the Colgate women's hockey team for organizing this event,” stated Autism Speaks' Walk-Events Manager, Melissa Zavorski. “The team's efforts to raise awareness of autism at Colgate University are so greatly appreciated. Autism Speaks is dedicated to changing the future for all who struggle with autism spectrum disorders; our mission includes funding autism research, developing family services tools, raising awareness, and advocating for autism treatments to be covered by insurance. The Autism Awareness Project is such a wonderful example of how students can raise awareness in their community and we can't thank the Colgate women's hockey team enough for their efforts.”

One of two new partners to the project this season is consumer electronic company, ViewSonic, which will be donating five Viewbook 10e tablet computers to the project. These tablet computers will be given to families in need of a communication device for their family member on the spectrum.

“For ViewSonic to be able to donate to a worthy cause is goodness and fulfilling unto itself," said Jeff Volpe, ViewSonic President of Americas and father of sophomore forward Taylor Volpe. "But for our tablet technology to make a difference in a person's life beyond work and play is incredible. We are grateful and proud to be associated with Colgate which has been such an advocate and leader in the Autism Awareness Project this past year.”

The second new partner added to the project this year is Goals for Good, an initiative created in 2011 by senior Kevin McNamara from the Colgate men's hockey team. The mission of the project is to provide a vehicle inspiring people to donate to chosen non-profit organizations through collegiate ice hockey competition. Men's and women's ECAC Hockey teams have partnered with a charity and Goals For Good hopes to bring an increased amount of aid and awareness to these charities this season.

"I think that it is great that the men's team (Colgate) and Goals For Good is going to be involved with the Autism Awareness Project,” stated McNamara. “The women's team has always done an outstanding job with this project, and my teammates and I are hoping we can help. Coach Wiley was instrumental in helping Goals For Good get off of the ground, and we always spoke about teaming the Autism Awareness Project and Goals For Good together. We are all very excited about the upcoming games, auctions, and raffles to raise money and awareness for these causes."

ViewSonic Reaffirms Its Commitment To Its Windows® Tablet Strategy

n the wake of HP’s failed webOS initiative, ViewSonic holds true to its tablet strategy


WALNUT, Calif. – August 19, 2011 – Following HP’s launch of its TouchPad tablet line in June 2011, the company yesterday announced that it will cease production of all tablet offerings.ViewSonic Corp. would like to take this opportunity to assure its customers that it will continue to support and deliver innovative tablet solutions.

“ViewSonic was among the first manufacturers to introduce a tablet solution back in Q4 2010,” said Jeff Volpe, president of ViewSonic Americas. “Since that time, we have rolled out more tablet offerings than any other provider, focusing on particular market demands. From our business-focused Windows® solutions with Android™ integration to our multimedia-optimized consumer offerings, ViewSonic has delivered a diverse tablet portfolio that addresses a wide range of individual needs. In light of this recent industry news, we would like to thank our customers for their continued loyalty and support of our products and ViewPad® line. We reaffirm that ViewSonic is fully vested in the tablet market and know you will be excited by what’s in store for the coming months.

“HP’s move to launch a tablet with an unknown OS appears to have presented a challenge in marketing their tablet solution. The webOS, unfamiliar to both consumers and enterprises, complicated the tablet sales process and thus deemed a failed experiment.

“ViewSonic offers a wide variety of solutions that are built on tried-and-tested operating systems. Our commitment to development on Windows OS remains strong and our strategic decision to partner with Microsoft was made with our customers in mind.”

ViewSonic will collect gently worn shoes from April 4th to April 15th, 2011.
