CTI Launches New Video: "Who is Consolidated Technologies?"
 
In the Fall of 2008, CTI had a company-wide "Town Hall" meeting in which several internally-produced videos were shown. CTI President Kenneth Heitner wanted the meeting to highlight all the various members of the company, as well as address certain topical issues, such as the economy, what employees liked about their job, etc. To help create the videos, Heitner turned to CTI Marketing Manager Michael Latshaw for help. 

Latshaw spent the next month traveling around the tri-state area, so he could catch every CTI employee in their particular place of work. For some, this meant filming them at one of the CTI office locations. For others, it meant Latshaw traveled to a customer site to film the Project Managers and Engineers on location. The resulting four films were a big hit at the Town Hall meeting, and paved the way for a new way to communicate with our customers. 

The first CTI video produced specifically for our customers is now available on site. It is called "Who is Consolidated Technologies?" and features members of CTI's Executive Team talking about the company, its successes, and why CTI is a proven leader in the field of converged technologies.
