Smart Monkeys, Inc., the show control specialist, has announced the appointment of 3Made AV, a leading audiovisual solutions provider, as the official distributor of its ISAAC platform in Benelux and France.
Co-founders Bart van Der Perre and Dave Vos, who both have more than 15 years of experience in distributing AV products, set up 3Made AV last year, and the firm has already worked on several significant projects in Europe and the UK, with a focus on project management, show-control, and technical and logistical support. The company also runs training events and workshops.
ISAAC is a powerful software solution. It was created by Smart Monkeys Inc. in response to a significant issue that plagued almost every project: the absence of a centralised, open programme that could communicate with various brands and products to manage and observe them.
The product offers consumers a wide variety of options to meet their demands by combining various hardware solutions with a number of software licences. It is able to handle content management, events scheduling, virtual machine hosting and monitoring of the complete audiovisual ecosystem in any installation.
Smart Monkeys extends European presence
ISAAC’s native ecosystem partners include AV Stumpfl Pixera, Medialon, Brightsign, NodeRed, Q-sys, Zeevee and many more.
The platform also offers a variety of hardware setups, some of which can be stacked and operated as a cluster. By doing this, ISAAC can ensure that the entire ecosystem, including the various virtual machines that can be hosted on the hardware, will experience zero downtime. ISAAC is a very adaptable system that can be readily customised to fit the needs of every installation or project thanks to the combination of this integration, the virtual machines, and the many hardware configurations.
“We are excited to be appointed as the official distributor of Smart Monkeys’ ISAAC,” says van Der Perre. “ISAAC is a ground-breaking software solution that is a perfect first product for our portfolio. We aim to set high-quality standards in the industry and will never make compromises in this field.”
Vos adds, “ISAAC is a game-changer in the audio-visual industry, and we are confident that it will be well-received by our customers in the BeNeLux and France regions. We are excited to work with Smart Monkeys and promise to deliver the same service and quality as they do in the US.”
Stephan Villet, co-founder and CEO of Smart Monkeys, Inc. says:
“Our newly formed partnership with 3Made AV is an exciting growth opportunity and enables us to extend our presence in Europe. 3Made AV is a team of highly regarded individuals offering both technical and logistical expertise for customers in Benelux and France. They are well positioned to meet the growing demands of customers in their region and to support them with dedication and professionalism.”
The partnership between Smart Monkeys, Inc. and 3Made AV is anticipated to improve the ISAAC product line’s European distribution network, as well as creating more potential for both businesses to expand.
Last month, Smart Monkeys, Inc. appointed David Rouchet as its new director of product development. The firm also announced an executive reorganisation with co-founder Villet as CEO, fellow co-founder Alan Anderson as COO, and associate partner Mitch Schuh being promoted to chief technology officer.
