IML Enhances Audience Response System Offering and Technology in the US
CANTON, Mass., March 3 -- Computershare Ltd. announced today its continued international expansion of IML, a Computershare company, with the acquisition of Machine Dreams Inc.'s business. Under terms of the deal, Computershare will acquire the majority of the assets of Machine Dreams, an audience response specialist and IML distributor. IML is a leading supplier of audience response systems, which bring sophisticated interactive communications and data capture to events and meetings.
Machine Dreams -- based in Minneapolis and New York -- specializes in cutting-edge audio-visual and event-related multimedia technology. The Machine Dreams business is the most recent expansion for IML, following the acquisitions over the last three months of two other leading providers of audience response services -- Ezicomms in Australia and Four Points in Belgium.
"In addition to its team of product experts on the ground in the US, Machine Dreams has impressive R&D resources that will enhance the solutions offering for IML's clients worldwide," said Richard Taylor, CEO, IML. "This acquisition expands IML's client base and the market opportunity for our award-winning Communicator keypad."
IML's Communicator keypad is an easy to use, wireless keypad system that ensures audiences remain involved and actively participate throughout conferences and events. Proven secure, accurate and reliable, the Communicator system instantly polls audience responses, delivering rapid results that can be displayed live to an audience immediately. Additionally, the Communicator enables an audience to send text messages and vote during interactive PowerPointŪ presentations. The keypads even include a built-in microphone for more convenient Q&A sessions.
