Montpellier, January 21, 2019
ABEO and VOGO sign partnership agreement
ABEO (ISIN code: FR0013185857 - Ticker: ABEO) and VOGO (ISIN code: FR0011532225
- Ticker: ALVGO) are combining their expertise to deliver a new service
offering for ABEO's clients (sports centres, leisure centres, gymnasiums, rock
climbing centres, schools, etc.). The new solution, which is to undergo
commercial validation in the first half of 2019, could ultimately pave the way
to an international distribution agreement.
ABEO and VOGO have committed to developing a tailored offering of service
specifically for ABEO's clients by combining their know-how. The service will
be based on the VOGO SPORT solution, to which will be added a range of
equipment (cameras, Wi-Fi access points, etc.). This will enable the roll-out
of a turnkey solution for the live broadcasting of audiovisual content. The new
technological solution is aimed at rounding out ABEO's offer of products and
services for a diverse range of professional clients.
Under the partnership agreement, VOGO has committed to providing both the
technological solution and training for the ABEO teams in charge of marketing
and sales, installation and level 1 technical support.
ABEO will be asking a panel of its clients if they wish to install and test the
new solution during the first half of this year, with a view to validating its
concrete and mutual benefits. At the end of this period, the partnership could
give rise to an international distribution agreement covering ABEO's markets.
