  
                One of the greatest challenges many companies 
                face is distributing information about products and services. 
                Another challenge is keeping people informed—whether they 
                are employees or customers.  
                 
                Since meaningful information is the key to progress, an organizations 
                success depends on its ability to communicate, educate, and inform 
                people. 
              Averra Media Corporation was formed in 1998 
                to provide solutions to these challenges. Our core business is 
                incorporating businesses’ subject matter into interactive 
                digital content and computer programs designed to help people 
                communicate ideas, strengthen business, build rewarding relationships, 
                and prosper.  
              We create the underlying imagery and computer 
                code that breathes life into your subject matter using a wide 
                range of technologies that bring together sound, text, images, 
                and video in ways that form rich interactive experiences and enhance 
                the way people access information. 
              Averra can lend a hand to help get your products 
                or services noticed while enlightening people in unique, innovative 
                ways. 
              Well work with you to develop a scalable 
                plan that examines your present and future needs, then provide 
                you with a menu of options that will help you decide and plan 
                an approach that will work best for your organization.

                Three-dimensional (3D) imagery and animations 
                are compelling and engage people's imagination, allowing visualization 
                of events and objects that otherwise may not be seen or understood. 
              Averra Media was founded by people who have 
                substantial expertise in conveying complex concepts, functions, 
                and procedures across a wide variety of business and technical 
                fields. 
              We use a variety of state-of-the-art technologies 
                to create realistic, dynamic 3D graphics and animation. The 3D 
                content can be created from scratch, or we can integrate your 
                existing two-and-three-dimensional digital models, raw data, photos, 
                and other material to create visualizations that effectively convey 
                your message. 
              Because digital 3D imagery is easily re-purposed, 
                the same content can be used in different mediums, such as CD-ROM, 
                DVD, film, print, television broadcast, videotape, or the World 
                Wide Web.  
              Applications include advertising, kiosks, sales 
                presentations, training and e-learning, public relations, corporate 
                communications, and courtroom visualization.                            
                
             
            
            
            
             
                
                Written procedures can be difficult for 
                people to understand, however they are a routine necessity for 
                many businesses. It's not easy to describe in words something 
                that's done in a non-verbal manner, and it's often beneficial 
                to provide an interactive, visual method of communication. 
              Averra can build, implement, and maintain simulations 
                in a variety of formats including CD-ROM, DVD, and the Web.  
              Specific types of simulations we build include: 
              
                - business processes and procedures 
 
                   
                 - industrial process and equipment simulations
 
					 
                 - interactive virtual product demos 
 
                   
                 - simulations for courtroom presentation 
              
  
              We build the initial simulation, then provide 
                the authoring software, training, and technical support so your 
                organization can revise as needed, or we can update and maintain 
                simulations for you.                            
                
             
            
            
            
             
                
                If you've ever tried creating a Web site, 
                you know what a challenge it can be. Browser inconsistencies, 
                cross-platform issues, text formatting problems, and server interface 
                technical issues can be overwhelming. 
              That's why Averra Media has developed a Content 
                Management Tool to help streamline the process, allowing you to 
                create and maintain Web sites without having to learn HTML, Javascript, 
                or other programming languages and Web programming techniques. 
                This takes the pain out of maintaining Web sites and frees up 
                valuable time. 
              This tool is especially useful for people who 
                must frequently update Web site content, publish newsletters, 
                and/or manage multiple Web sites quickly and efficiently. 
              Averra's 
                Content Management Tool is designed to enhance the productivity 
                of people creating Web content by providing an easy-to-use, visually 
                oriented system that automates your site's look and feel using 
                a variety of attractive, pre-designed layout schemes that we can 
                also customize to your needs. 
              
                - Web site content is easily and quickly updated 
                  
 
                   
                 - multiple users can maintain a site simultaneously 
                  
 
                   
                 - users don't need to know web programming procedures 
                  
 
                   
                 - administrators can choose what content goes 
                  live 
 
                   
                 - administrators can track logins and changes 
                  
 
                   
                 - establishes a common process for revising 
                  information 
 
                   
                 - standardizes how information is formatted 
                  and presented 
 
                   
                 - content can be edited and updated from within 
                  most Web browsers
 
                   
                 - anyone administrators designate can add and 
                  update content from within their Web browser 
              
  
              Averra can provide you with everything from 
                custom design that focuses on one aspect of your Web site to a 
                complete hosted package. 
                             
             
            
            
            
             
                
                Averra will help you get plugged into the 
                information age.  
                We create integrated applications that can be used as combination 
                training and reference programs, maintenance manuals, and "on-line 
                help".  
              Your content packaged into mobile devices, such as custom websites, iPads or iPhones, provides knowledge as people 
                need it—anywhere, any time. 
              The benefits are numerous and include: 
              
                -  Quick access to information
 
                   
                 -  Access information in multiple formats
 
                   
                 - Read information using multiple devices
 
                   
                 - Link to vendor and other outside resources
 
                   
                 -  Revision control
 
                   
                 - Document management and control
 
                   
                 
                -  Ease of distribution
 
                   
                 -  Optional hardcopy or "Print On Demand"
 
                
              Applications we develop have the capability 
                to launch other applications or documents, so you can access other 
                information or databases that may already exist in a wide variety 
                of digital formats. 
              You can also mix document formats such as Acrobat, 
                Word, Excel, PowerPoint, online Web pages, databases, digital 
                video, and more. 
              Averra can work with your subject matter experts, 
                or put you in touch with qualified subject matter experts.			                  
                
             
            
            
            
             
                
              Averra creates software programs that let people 
                learn at their own pace—to receive information as it is 
                needed. We can integrate your content by providing the underlying 
                programming, graphics, and multimedia content, and work with you 
                to develop the core content as well.
              
 For example, people can type in a question, 
                then be guided through a series of procedures such as those used 
                for troubleshooting, maintenance, or safety—even contact 
                other personnel or vendors automatically when needed.  
              This kind of 'Just-in-time' learning allows 
                people to be actively involved in the learning process. Interactivity 
                reinforces the learning content and helps people to retain knowledge. 
               
              These applications may also be configured for 
                use as reference tools. In this way, people aren't forced to go 
                through a structured course to find a quick answer to a specific 
                question or to troubleshoot a problem.  
              The benefits are numerous.  
              Familiarize new employees with new or standard 
                procedures or unfamiliar processes.  
              Enable people to study potentially dangerous 
                topics without risk as they can see the results of their actions 
                and become skilled at proper 'best practice' workplace methods 
                and procedures while learning how to work safely at their job. 
                This approach reduces downtime, increases productivity, prevents 
                worker injury, and saves you money. 
               Testing and documenting training for large 
                numbers of people can be accomplished efficiently and cost-effectively. 
                Applications we build can have the ability to automatically track 
                the progress of individuals or groups and automatically provide 
                documentation to satisfy industry and/or regulatory requirements 
                such as ISO 9001:2000, OSHA, JCAHO, HIPPA, HAZCOM, RCRA, and others. 
              These applications can also have the capability 
                to launch other computer programs or computer-based documents, 
                so people can access information in a wide variety of formats 
                from a central source.  
              Distribution options are numerous and include 
                Macintosh and Windows computers, handheld computers, the Internet, 
                local and wide-area networks, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, mobile apps, or 
                any combination of these.  
              We can also integrate multiple languages in 
                one application so your software can be localized for various 
                countries. 
              We'll work with you to create a scalable, customized 
                application that fits your needs, then deliver ready-to-use applications 
                together with the authoring software we used so you can update 
                it yourself—or we can maintain it for you as well as provide 
                ongoing technical support.			                
                
             
            
            
            
             
                
                Kiosks are powerful interactive communications 
                tools that use multimedia technology to dispense information to 
                a specific audience, delivering your message using a combination 
                of video, graphics, audio and text.  
              Typical applications include airport terminals, 
                bank and hotel lobbies, museums, point-of-purchase displays, retail 
                establishments, supermarkets, shopping malls, trade shows, waiting 
                rooms, zoological parks, and more. 
              Averra designs and develops kiosk software for 
                use with standard kiosk hardware, optional internet connectivity, 
                interaction with other hardware, and portable computers for trade 
                shows or client presentations.  
              The interactive kiosk applications we build 
                can provide information in a variety of engaging formats. Besides 
                simply presenting information you can ask questions, conduct surveys, 
                deliver helpful information and directions, collect information 
                from user input, and respond with feedback. 
              We can develop just the underlying code for 
                kiosk programs, select and install complete kiosk systems, or 
                provide support at any stage of the process. 
              For turnkey solutions, Averra works with several 
                major kiosk hardware manufacturers and qualified technicians to 
                ensure high quality at the right price within your budget. 
              For trade shows or presentations, we can also 
                arrange "plug and play" kiosk rentals complete with 
                software pre-installed to your specifications. We'll even handle 
                the complete logistics for you by having the equipment delivered, 
                set up, tested, and then packed up after the show. 
              In addition to kiosks, we also can incorporate 
                your content with leading edge, attention grabbing technologies 
                such as electroluminescent signage and display materials.  
              Contact us for details. 
			   
			   
            
            
             
                
                Presentations provide a dynamic way to 
                get your message across, while helping your audience to visualize 
                your concepts. 
                 
                Averra creates presentations for business meetings, conferences, 
                courtroom exhibits, and trade shows. 
                 
                We can help develop engaging presentations that will get your 
                message across with high-end graphics, animation, audio, video 
                and interactive techniques that enable you to control the pace 
                of your presentation. 
                 
                Presentations can be created from scratch, or we can supply customized 
                imagery to compliment your existing presentation. 
                 
                For example, we can re-purpose existing data and imagery from 
                different sources into a seamless presentation guaranteed to leave 
                a positive, lasting impression on your audience. 
                
			   
               
            
            
             
                
                Many multimedia projects seem incomplete 
                because packaging is often an afterthought. Specialty packaging 
                is one way to get your production noticed by using innovative 
                designs and materials that go beyond standard "off-the-shelf" 
                approaches. Many people think this is expensive—it doesn't 
                have to be. 
              While one of our specialties is producing 3D 
                imagery for computer display, we also create innovative printed 
                3D packaging and displays for trade shows, retail environments, 
                and exhibits using state-of-the-art technologies.  
              Averra works closely with several commercial 
                printers, die makers, digital service bureaus, and disc duplicators 
                to provide a full spectrum of services for advertising, technical, 
                retail, and consumer mass markets. 
              
                - packaged cross platform multimedia CD-ROMs 
                  and DVD
 
                   
                 - business card size CD-ROMs 
 
                   
                 - unique containers for any disc based media 
                  
 
                   
                 - three-dimensional lenticular cards and posters
 
                   
                 - silkscreened and/or laser-inscribed media 
                  tins
