CoroWare Technologies, a wholly owned subsidiary of CoroWare, Inc. and reseller of Vidyo brand video conferencing systems, has introduced CoroWare Usage Reporter for Vidyo (News - Alert), a software package that provides usage statistics for Vidyo brand high-definition video conferencing systems.

Officials with CoroWare said that enterprise customers are looking for solutions that will help their IT organizations monitor and analyze Vidyo system use.

Company officials said combined with Vidyo's high-definition video conferencing systems, the CoroWare Usage Reporter for Vidyo is an affordable and effective way for customers to generate video conferencing usage statistics that can be used to distribute costs and make informed purchasing decisions.

'CoroWare's usage metering solution offers Vidyo customers greater visibility into their video conferencing usage and deployment,' said Ira Weinstein, senior analyst and partner at Wainhouse (News - Alert) Research, in a statement.

By providing users with easy access to key usage metrics, CoroWare allows organizations to plan for future deployments and accurately assess the benefits and ROI associated with their video conferencing investments, Weinstein said.

4CoroWare Usage Reporter for Vidyo is a Windows-based software package that analyzes detailed video conferencing call records, including the number of Vidyo rooms, ports, users, and conference call minutes.

'We had multiple customers coming to us with the same requirement,' said Joshua Sherman, manager of CoroWare's Telepresence (News - Alert) business unit.

Sherman said the company recognized the opportunity to create a solution that enables them to see exactly how their technology investment is being used.

Back in March CoroWare Technologies announced that it added a new accessory to its growing line of robotics products.
A compact and affordable laser range finder is the latest addition to the company's online product catalog.

The laser range finder can be purchased individually or as an option on the CoroBot and Explorer robots. Purchased as a robot option, the laser comes fully installed with drivers pre-loaded on the robot's computer.

A 10Hz scanning frequency and range of over 18 ft. significantly increases the robots' sensing power.
