VIRTUAL AGENCY

Voyagers spinning through space travel to the outer reaches of the universe in a virtual reality pod. And players in a giant arcade game find that they are the pin ball, harmlessly bouncing off barriers, racing through a neon maze to accumulate points. Meanwhile, back on earth, advertising agencies review designs with clients on the other side of the world, thanks to the information superhighway and a company called Silicon Graphics(R).

Sound too far out and far off to be believed? Think again.

Today, computer systems from technology leader Silicon Graphics let you do all of this, and much more. Silicon Studio(TM) solutions from Silicon Graphics include communications partners like Sprint(R) Corporation. Sprint provides affordable switched network access to your client base anywhere in the world, while offering accessing speeds up to 1.5 Mbps with plans for 45 Mbps. Special packaging for Silicon Studio customers includes T-1 port, router, CSU cables, 24 X 7 days/week management, and a gateway to the Internet. Combine Sprint's surprisingly cost-effective high-speed link with software from Silicon Graphics which lets you interact with your clients in real-time, and you suddenly have an astonishingly powerful tool that leaves your competition in the cosmic dust.

Enter the world of stock image agencies providing networked access to portfolios of photographs, illustrations, and even 3D models and animation. Customers can now call you on your Silicon Graphics system and select images electronically. Once they've made their choices you instantly "ship" the images over the network to your client, accompanied by an invoice. Instant gratification all around!

Need to work interactively on a new design with a client? InPerson(TM), a collaborative communication tool from Silicon Graphics, provides a virtual white board where you and your clients can view and simultaneously edit designs across the network. Each InPerson user participates in the design process using individualized markers on their own personal design layer, which permits annotating while protecting the original. Though InPerson can't control your client's modification requests, it will let them work in the comfort of their own office. And allow you to respond to their ideas in an instant with the editing power of your Silicon Graphics system.

You can create a virtual agency today with Silicon Studio solutions from Silicon Graphics. The possibilities are virtually limitless.
