FTR Integration Partner Awarded $15 Million Contract with Social Security Administration.

PHOENIX -- FTR multimedia recording and content management systems will be installed in 1,472 Social Security Administration hearing rooms

FTR Limited (FTR), the leading global supplier of multimedia recording and content management solutions for courts, hearing rooms and public meeting venues, announced today that York Telecom, one of its audio/video integration partners, has been awarded a contract to provide, implement and support recording and multimedia content management systems in 1,472 hearing rooms for the Social Security Administration (SSA).

Each installation will include TheRecord Reporter, FTR's audio/video recording and content management solution and the FTR DMX8 USB Mixer, FTR's unique mixer that combines the functions of an 8-input to 4-channel mixer with a 4-channel audio encoder card. Both products will be part of an integrated system York Telecom has designed so SSA personnel can record, store, archive, manage, play back, annotate and transcribe proceedings of eligibility hearings and meetings across the country.

According to Steve Townsend, president & CEO of FTR, the SSA's decision validates the versatility of FTR's multimedia recording and content management solutions as well as the integration expertise of York Telecom. "Our products have become the de facto standard for recording, managing and distributing recorded proceedings of court trials and hearings because they're easy to install and deploy, easy for staff members to learn and use and easy for partners to integrate with other products and applications," he said.

According to Ron Gaboury, president of York Telecom, "We are very excited to be partnering with FTR on the Social Security Administration Office of Hearing and Appeals project. The FTR product lines, along with York Telecom's abilities to integrate and deploy large scale projects are the best combination to meet the unique needs of SSA."

TheRecord Reporter is designed to work with assistive technologies that are used by people with disabilities as mandated by Congress in regulation Section 508. Compliance with Section 508 was a key factor on which all proposed solutions were evaluated. Section 508 was enacted by Congress in 1998 as an amendment to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and requires federal agencies to make electronic information and technology accessible to people with disabilities. The solution proposed by York Telecom met all technical requirements and was the most Section 508-compliant solution offered in the competitive process.
