John
Caulfield to Head New ViewCast Online Solutions Division
Former
Outreach Technology CEO to Spearhead
Business-to-Business Solutions for Video Communications
DALLAS
(Feb. 6, 2001) – Viewcast today announced that John
Caulfield has been named corporate vice president and president
of the ViewCast Online Solutions division at Viewcast, Inc.
(NASDAQ: VCST), a leading provider of streaming media and
networked video solutions. In this newly created position,
Caulfield is responsible for building ViewCast Online Solutions
business.
John
will hit the ground running – initially with a staff
of very capable ViewCast employees – and will be responsible
for all operating functions of the new division, to include
marketing, sales, development and support of the new initiative,”
said George Platt, president and chief executive officer.
“We believe that this division provides ViewCast with
a new strategy that builds upon our considerable base of
technology and expertise in streaming media from our Osprey
Video division.
I’m
excited to be leading this initiative for ViewCast,”
said Caulfield. “The timing is perfect. Until now,
rich media on the web has been mostly focused in support
of the movie and entertainment industry. We believe only
three percent of companies to date employ rich media in
support of business applications. Therefore, an enormous
opportunity exists to deliver, in a hosted model, solutions
and applications that provide B2B customers quick time-to-value
from this new technology. In the coming weeks and months,
we will introduce an exciting set of initial offerings targeted
to support these customers.
Prior
to joining ViewCast, Caulfield served for two years as the
president and CEO of Outreach Technology, an e-business
corporation. Before Outreach, Caulfield was executive vice
president for Fujitsu Private Network Division. Caulfield’s
extensive high-tech experience includes executive positions
at IBM, ROLM and Exxon Information Systems.
