Thomson Reuters and Blue Sky Broadcast Partner to Offer Complete Conference Solution
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Philadelphia, PA, London, UK, March 24, 2011 - Thomson Reuters and Blue Sky
Broadcast today announced a partnership to provide a complete, end-to-end
solution for organizations seeking to schedule and broadcast their meetings and
conferences.
The partnership will enable scholarly societies and associations to review and
select the best meeting content using Thomson Reuters ScholarOne Abstracts®,
then automatically transfer it to a presentation portal hosted by Blue Sky
Broadcast for live capture and hosting.
ScholarOne Abstracts is the foremost solution for managing conference abstract
data, allowing for quick and easy collection, as well as reviewing and
scheduling, of the best content for meetings. Blue Sky Broadcast specializes in
the delivery of live and on-demand web-based presentations, continuing education
certifications, and media solutions.
As travel budgets for scholarly societies and associations face cuts, while
research output continues to expand globally, it has become increasingly
important for organizations to find cost-effective ways to offer their members
access to meetings and conferences.
The new offering from Thomson Reuters and Blue Sky Broadcast, will deliver
searchable multi-media content from meetings and conferences in a rich media
format, long after the actual date of the event. The agreement also opens up a
new potential source of revenue for societies and associations, by allowing them
to extend the reach and life of their meeting content.
"ScholarOne Abstracts already supports the strategic objectives of our customers
by helping them select and manage the most relevant meeting content," said Keith
Collier, vice president at Thomson Reuters. "We're thrilled that we can now
offer them new ways to leverage that valuable data after their event, providing
greater benefit to both our clients and their members."
"We're excited about the combination of Blue Sky Broadcast's services with
ScholarOne Abstracts," said Phillip Forte, president at Blue Sky Broadcast. "The
new integrated offering will allow meeting organizers and attendees to easily
make the best use of their meeting content during and after the event. This
helps organizations demonstrate value to their members and increase their
profile in their field."
