San Diego, CA February 20, 2015 “Our partnership with Clary Icon continues to produce substantial growth opportunities for Hitachi’s Global Collaboration Business Initiative. We see a strategic alignment with OneScreen hubware and OneScreen SaaS solution to deliver best-in-class visual collaboration and the competitive advantages it offers to our customers in Europe,” said Mark Sturges, Director of Product and Services Group Sales, Hitachi Solutions.

The global e-learning market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 25% according to TechNavio’s Global e-Learning Market 2014-2018 report. One of the key factors impacting the market growth includes the corporate sector’s increasing usage and acceptance of e-Learning. Digital video systems have revolutionized traditional modes of both training and teaching. Additionally, government initiatives aimed at integrating advance technologies in educational institutions have increased in the US and UK.

Clary Icon will target this growing market, in partnership with Hitachi Solutions Europe, to capture increased percentage of market share in the region. Clary Icon and Hitachi Solutions Europe officially launched the partnership last week at ISE in Amsterdam.
