PRZOOM – Newswire & PRToday/ – After months of preparation, ISTEC (Ibero-American Science Technology and Education Consortium) and eDoorways (EDWY:pk) are actively engaged in establishing a web-based collaborative platform for the consortium’s future needs.
Houston, TX, United States, 08/05/2010 – eDoorways (EDWY:PK) is working with ISTEC to create an international web-based platform to facilitate lifestyle problem solving, learning, innovation and creative thinking. eDoorways’ PowerChannels will play a key role in the new platform, serving to facilitate cross-cultural exchange in such areas as entrepreneurship, sustainability and environmental awareness. In addition, a special PowerChannel is being developed to serve as a primary communication and collaboration organ for ISTEC’s General Assembly meeting in Porto Alegre, Brazil in December of this year. The channel will allow meeting participants to confer with presenters and political dignitaries before, during and after the event.
ISTEC is a consortium of over 100 universities serving a large fraction of the estimated 20 million students and faculty members. It represents the educational, scientific, and business interests of 28 Latin American countries including Spain and Portugal in Europe. Because it’s interests are large and diverse, the sharing of mutual interests and knowledge is a formidable challenge.
“ISTEC’s plan is both exciting and ambitious,” said Gary Kimmons, CEO of eDoorways. “They’ve been busy planning the deployment of their vision since we signed our agreement. It’s very comprehensive, and I believe it’s going to have a major impact on the countries and people they serve.”
“We’ve pulled out all the stops, and now we are deploying the kind of web-based platform we have dreamed about since we started 20 years ago,” stated Dr. Ramiro Jordan, founder of ISTEC. “For the first time in our history, every member of our organization will be handed the keys to empowerment. Every person, every organization, and all of our institutions of higher learning will have instantaneous connectivity with the ability to share information and interact with purpose. Our industrial members will be able to interact directly with academic institutions identifying new collaborations and entrepreneurial activities. This has been a long time coming, and eDoorways is going to be with us every step of the way to help make it happen.”
eDoorways is stepping up to the challenge of serving the diverse needs of a multinational organization. While the challenge is undeniable, the potential reward may prove to be immeasurable. “Dr. Jordan’s dream and our dream are now one and the same,” said Gary Kimmons. “We will not stop until we have united the individuals and organizations he serves.”
