"Tom McGowan brought his personal relationship with our company and the tremendous abilities of IMT to us to create a well planned and expertly executed installation to enable us to fully enter the world of true HDTV," stated Bray Cary. "We are pleased not only with the product, but with their on-going service and training that IMT brings to all of their relationships."
"We recognize that Bray is a well respected business and cultural leader in West Virginia, and it was vitally important to ensure success of the project by delivering on his business goals and objectives," explained Tom McGowan, IMT VP of Business Development.
"We began this project with the needs analysis process," McGowan continued, "which allowed us to put forth a recommended equipment list providing WVMM with a 'Master Plan' detailing different scenarios. IMT developed the plan while working in concert with WVMM personnel, as partners throughout this process, ensuring a successful transition to HD news and content."
West Virginia Media's objectives included ensuring long-term viability, scalability and growth, as well as delivering content to multiple screens, such as television, web and mobile devices.
