scoring, sports analysis, television production,
internet broadband distribution and other media

relishes the latent potential which arises from
the layering of our analytic data mining tools
upon QuesTecs field-proven telemetric
acquisition capabilities. Together we can
automatically repurpose existing client video
assets with unparalleled efficiency, flexibility
and economy so as to synthesize electronic media
products in real-time for focused delivery. The
synergy between the businesses of QuesTec and
SISCOM is phenomenal, further, the technology
combination is readily applicable to many new
opportunities, both business-to-business and
business-to-consumer", said Michael J.
Ellis, SISCOM Chairman and CEO.
