My company, located in France, has invented a software technology that
is able to analyze a video file or a live composite video and generate
an intelligent table of content from it.
As an example, if you watch the 6 o'clock news, the technology would
enable to get a file with each subject separated from the other (sort
it in different chapters), allowing the user to skip what it does not
like. For a soccer match, it will highlight the 'hot moments' (goals,
hot actions, etc.)
This can be used on DVRs, but also on web-shared video files for fast
browsing or even for editing (the technolgy is currently being
patented).
We are looking to ge in touch with major video market players (Google,
Yahoo, AOL, YouTube, etc.) in order to sell the technology.
We would therefore would like to identify them directly, and to get a
relevant contacts for technology demonstrations. Furthermore, we would
like to identify the most know consulting companies that are kown to
have sold technologies to those companies.

Request for Question Clarification by easterangel-ga on 08 Oct 2006 18:13 PDT

Hi!

It would be very hard to find contact the top executives since they
will be deluded with calls and requests. The executives which show
their contacts though are marketing people for press releases.

Would these type of contacts be ok with you?

Thanks.

I understand that it would be rather impossible to get direct contact
of top executives. But communications agencies instead is way out of
my request. As stated in the original question, I would therefore
focus my questions on consulting companies who claim to be able to
link technologies with companies such as Google and Yahoo.

Oh there was a misunderstanding here.

What I am trying to say is that the only contact information I can
find are the marketing people for the companny. For example Youtube, I
can only give you the marketing people of Youtube.

Is this ok with you?

Thanks.

If I had to choose between marketing people (communication & press)
and consulting companies that provides 'technology tours' to famous US
companies, I would rather choose the second option.

Best.
