BizTech came out with a really great article on how our IT operations are keeping apace with business demands. It was a natural fit: Viable is primarily a technology company and the magazine is focused on information technology.

BizTech Magazine article

Pictured are Jeremy Shaffner and Jason T. Yeh, respectively our director of IT and our vice president of Technology. Jeremy has a deaf brother and Jason is deaf and comes from a deaf family. The article is sourced from interviews with both persons as well as with Ed Bosson, recognized by acclamation in TRS circles and in the deaf community as the “Father of VRS,” and several other independent analysts although their quotes apparently didn’t make it to print.

Also, see below for a Kodak moment taken from my pager of the photographer in action.

Giving shade is Robert Soderholm, a Viable employee. By coincidence, this photographer has a deaf cousin (although he knew no sign language) and said the assignment was one of his best ever. Me, I’m just glad that the article will help to educate the business community on relay services!

It isn’t often a state conference for the deaf gets media attention. See article on the Texas Association of the Deaf conference that took place last weekend in San Antonio.

And imagine our surprise… the VPAD is photographed, although videophone technology isn’t mentioned anywhere in the article!
