London, 26th January 2007. Free-Thinking, a leading interactive TV development house and Broadsight, a consultancy and system integrator specialising in Web 2.0 media, today announced a Strategic Alliance. Free-Thinking will provide the development capability as well as bringing to the Alliance access to its existing product range of popular games services; messaging and chatroom technologies. Broadsight will provide system integration capability as well as consultancy on commercial and technical strategy.
Broadsight and Free-Thinking are both examples of successful and experienced "lean" companies that use modern technology and approaches to keep costs down and provide competitive services. They also use these same principles to help their customers improve their own business performance. “We live in exciting times and we seem to be at a tipping point where a combination of factors - broadband penetration, computing power, the quality and range of open source software - is opening up a range of new possibilities” said David Short . Free-Thinking and Broadsight aim to help their clients unlock this new potential.
Broadsight Partner, David Short said "We have worked with Free-Thinking on several projects over the last few years and we compliment each other well. We thought it was time to make the arrangement a bit more formal and we look forward to great things in the future."
Free-Thinking Commercial Director, Tracy Munro said "When you find a company in this space who delivers on time and on budget, you hold onto them. We operate very similar business practises which makes for a great working relationship.”
