Simtrol, Inc. (SMRL)

Over the past five years, we have focused our resources to develop proven software technologies to meet the growing demand for PC-based control systems. The resulting ONGOERTM and OnGuard solutions have the benefit of being less expensive, more customizable, and more compatible with existing technology infrastructure than the hardware-based solutions of our historical competitors, AMX Corporation and Crestron Electronics, Inc. Our solutions also provide easy scalability, as customers only need to add additional PCs or servers to provide additional processing power, rather than purchase large-scale proprietary hardware controllers and touch panels. In addition, much of our sales focus has been in AV meeting rooms of large corporations and government agencies, healthcare, and in law enforcement where there are usually existing PCs, because adding our software to these PCs is a compelling cost savings versus adding closed-architecture hardware. We believe our Windows-based products are very well suited to meet this demand.
