Businessman Kramer successfully purchases ZeeVee, marking a significant development in the technology industry.
Kramer, a leading provider of AV solutions, has announced its acquisition of ZeeVee, a pioneer in video over IP, RF, and AV distribution technologies. This strategic move significantly expands Kramer's AV over IP (AVoIP) portfolio, enabling the company to offer more robust, flexible, and scalable AV networking solutions.
The acquisition of ZeeVee complements Kramer's existing control, signal distribution, and AV management solutions. With ZeeVee's advanced technologies and expertise, Kramer can now offer a wider portfolio that includes seamless video-over-IP encoders/decoders and advanced signal management features.
ZeeVee's offerings have been particularly successful in large-scale and complex deployments, as demonstrated by their deployment at John Abbott College, where their AVoIP infrastructure enabled campus-wide source-to-display routing and collaborative learning spaces. This synergy allows Kramer to offer end-to-end AVoIP systems that are scalable from small installations to large-campus networks.
The merger also involves Kramer's cloud-based offerings, such as Panta Rhei and Kramer Control, which will be integrated with ZeeVee's on-premises AVoIP management solution. This combined offering will create a robust ecosystem for powerful management and control solutions.
The acquisition is expected to accelerate the adoption of AVoIP technologies and expand Kramer's market reach. It strengthens Kramer's dedication to the AVoIP market and its vision for the future of IT and AV integration. Bob Michaels, CEO of ZeeVee, expressed his excitement about the merger, stating that it will deliver unmatched value to customers and partners worldwide.
As a founding member of the SDVoE Alliance and a leader in IT and AV convergence, ZeeVee's addition to Kramer's team is poised to fuel the company's growth potential in enterprise, education, and commercial sectors. This enhancement supports greater flexibility and integration capabilities across diverse AV environments, positioning Kramer to capitalize on emerging AVoIP market trends with integrated end-to-end control, distribution, and management.
In summary, the acquisition of ZeeVee by Kramer:
- Broadens Kramer's AV over IP technology portfolio, adding new capabilities in video distribution and signal processing.
- Enables scalable, flexible, and user-friendly networked AV solutions, exemplified by large deployments like John Abbott College.
- Positions Kramer to capitalize on emerging AVoIP market trends with integrated end-to-end control, distribution, and management.
- Strengthens growth opportunities by offering comprehensive solutions across diverse industries.
This strategic move empowers Kramer to deliver more powerful and versatile AV over IP systems, accelerating their leadership and growth in the booming networked AV sector.
