Receptionists probably won’t like this product

Lobby welcome: Advanced Information Systems has developed the Video
Receptionist, shown here in an office building on St. Rose Parkway.
It provides visitors to an office or building lobby the feature of
a self-service employee directory with the ability to initiate two-way
live video communications between the visitor and the employee.
By Mark Hansel
At a time when many companies are looking for ways to cut costs,
a Las Vegas-based company has introduced an alternative to a paid
receptionist.
The Video Receptionist from Advanced Information Systems can greet
guests, provide company information and perform a host of other services
usually done by a receptionist.
“The Video Receptionist is basically a welcoming guide,”
said Frank Yoder, president of Advanced Information Systems.
The Video Receptionist can be deployed in two basic configurations.
The PC Client with Video allows two-way video communications for
customers with a webcam installed on employees’ computers. The
Phone Client is for clients who prefer to have voice only communications
with visitors.
The system can be installed in an inside reception area or on the
outside of a secure building.
“The way that works is that we put a film on the inside of the
window and then we project onto it so it becomes a computer screen,”
Yoder said. “The film then allows the window to become a touch
screen from the outside.”
Yoder recently demonstrated a system installed at the St. Rose Executive
Suites office building in Henderson.
“The reason that Executive Suites is using this is because it
lets visitors to all of the tenants have access to it when the building
is locked,” Yoder said.
Previously, when the building was locked, visitors would have to
call someone inside to come and open the door. Now guests can just
call one of the offices and the door can be unlocked with the push
of a button. The two-way interface system allows clients with the
computer-enhanced version to screen visitors before allowing access
to the building.
The system does not require any inside hardware because it links
directly to the user’s phone system.
A basic system, which includes a 20-client, one-directory software
license, starts at $350 a month and upgrades to the system are included
for an additional cost.
Other features offered with the system include employee and company
directories, motion sensor technology, video voice mail recording,
advertising options and company branding. Advanced Information also
provides setup and configuration, system uptime monitoring and activity
logs for customers.
Advanced Information estimates the system can save users about $20,000
a year and the Video Receptionist, Yoder points out, never takes a
day off and does not require health insurance or other employee benefits.
Because of the wave of technological advances in recent years, people
have begun to accept, and even embrace, machines that perform tasks
formerly done by people. Yoder says the public has become much less
resistant to interacting with a computer because the information provided
is consistent and often more accurate.
Yoder founded Advanced Information in 1987 in Virginia, and the company
moved to Las Vegas in 1995. Its corporate offices are on Cameron Street,
Advanced Information offers a variety of technology solutions and
has formed strategic partnerships with several companies, including
Microsoft, IBM and Avaya. Services provided include custom software
development, professional services, broadband solutions and voice
and data communications services.
Advanced Information also provides information technology professionals
such as project managers and database administrators and fills short-term
contract needs for its customers as well as full-time positions.
In addition to the Video Receptionist the company has developed other
products, including Sierra CMS, which is a case management system
for Chapter 11 bankruptcies. The system assists bankruptcy attorneys
with the management of company restructuring under a bankruptcy.
The company started development of the product in January 2008 and,
not surprisingly considering the current state of the economy, has
received a lot of interest in the system.
Advanced Information is also developing a product called eRounds,
which will be used in the health care industry.
The product will be used by nurses and other health care professionals
during daily rounds to track and update patient information automatically
and transfer that data back to a server.
Yoder said that while some of the company’s other products are
industry-specific, the Video Receptionist can be used almost anywhere.
Potential applications include use in multifamily residential complexes
such as high-rise condominiums and gated communities.

Executive Suites Finds Value, Effective Communication with Video
Receptionist
Advanced technology allows company to save operational costs
St. Rose Executive Suites (www.strosesuites.com)
sought to provide professional reception service as well as added
security for its commercial building tenants. Seeking a way to curtail
operational expenses without losing quality customer service, the
company found its solution-the Video Receptionist.
Because the Video Receptionist runs 24 hours a day, seven days a
week, businesses who have leased space at St. Rose Executive Suites
may visit the building after hours by accessing the system's security
feature. The directory is projected onto special film inside the building's
lobby window, allowing users to interact with the system. Through
access control, companies may also regulate who enters the building
without employees even leaving their desks.
"The Video Receptionist has proven to be a cost effective way
to provide additional value for our tenants," said Chris Steele,
managing partner of St. Rose Executive Suites, LLC. "We are very
pleased to have the Video Receptionist as a part of our services."
The 12,000-square-foot premises includes 45 executive office suites,
ranging from 100 to 400 square feet, as well as two conference rooms,
tenant lounge with kitchen facilities, and a mail/copy room. Additionally,
state-of-the-art technology enables St. Rose Executive Suites to provide
virtual office space, where office services are available without
being tied to one location.
St. Rose Executive Suites has been a success since its opening in
April 2007, demonstrating the need in Las Vegas for high quality executive
and virtual office space with outstanding amenities and services.
It is located at 2831 St. Rose Parkway, Henderson, Nev. in the heart
of a premier Las Vegas suburban commercial corridor, with easy access
to major highways and to McCarran Airport. For additional information,
