Criticom: Connecting Ideas and People with Video

Government agencies are relying on video communications as a

mission-enabling resource across the enterprise – an effective means for

accomplishing more results in less time with less cost. They are realizing

the benefits of video on a much broader scale than a decade ago,

including dramatic improvements in collaboration, responsiveness,

management efficiencies and lifestyle, as well as significant reductions

in travel costs and carbon footprint.

As video applications evolve across an organization’s ever-expanding

distributed environments, so do the challenges of designing, seamlessly

integrating and managing assured video solutions. Success requires the

right partner – one who has truly mastered video communications over

thousands of implementations.

Ultra Electronics Criticom is that partner. Criticom delivers unmatched

expertise across the deep and broad complexities of video communications.

For more than two decades Criticom has focused exclusively on providing

government organizations with end-to-end video solutions, including

design, networking, integration,

Information Assurance (IA),

management and services.

Criticom’s dedication to exceeding

expectations has led to long-term

relationships with customers in

every branch of the Department

of Defense (DoD) and civilian

agencies as well as homeland

security and intelligence agencies.

Combining a life cycle approach

to video communications with

expert program management

skills, Criticom will simplify

deployment and use, minimize

risk and total cost of ownership,

and maximize benefits and return

on investment. As a result, an

organization can focus on

achieving its mission more

effectively and efficiently.
