ROCHESTER, N.Y., Nov. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Vuzix®
Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), a leading supplier of Smart Glasses,
Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies and
products for the consumer and enterprise markets, is pleased to
announce that iTiZZiMO has joined the Vuzix Industrial Partner
(VIP) program. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Wurzburg Germany, iTiZZiMO's software, the
Simplifier, serves as a universal platform to digitally transform
an entire organization's business processes to run on multiple
mobile devices, including smart glasses. With the Simplifier,
it becomes possible to create integrated business apps without deep
knowledge of different programming languages, but rather by simple
configuration.
As a Vuzix VIP, iTiZZiMO immediately ported the Simplifier to
the new Vuzix M300 smart glasses, and began to benchmark these
against the competition in the smart glasses industry, and even
demonstrated the M300 to some of their most important
clients.
"We have used the Vuzix M100 in numerous projects, as it really
was the best device in its day. But with the M300, Vuzix has set a
new standard. Our customers are very excited," said Florian Rühl,
CSO iTiZZiMO. Read the full iTiZZiMO M300 product review

iTiZZiMO recently opened its first US based office in
Ann Arbor, Michigan, not only as a
strategic location to be closer to many of their large global
clients such as Daimler, BOSCH, Konica Minolta, and Continental,
but also as a trend barometer. For Chris
Bouveret, CIO iTiZZiMO, it's no question that the
USA will specify which solutions
will make the race in terms of digital transformation.
"In Europe the industrial sector is very advanced within
automation, but the structures inhibit real digital transformation.
In the US, even companies with well-established structures see the
advantages of a holistic solution capable of multiplying the
implementation speed of applications. That's why the US offers
ideal conditions for us to further develop the Simplifier and make
it an international success," says Bouveret.
iTiZZiMO focuses on several of Vuzix' core industrial sectors
such as Utilities, Manufacturing, Aerospace, and Life Sciences, all
of which will require the advanced industrial design, higher
performance, and enterprise level security features that only the
Vuzix M300 offers.
"Adding iTiZZiMO as a Vuzix Industrial Partner is exciting in
the fact that they will take the new Vuzix M300 into the Life
Sciences' Lab of the Future, as well as Manufacturing's Industry
4.0 and the enterprise IoT environments, "said Paul Travers, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Vuzix. "Now with the features that no other smart
glasses offer, the M300 will enable their clients to deploy smart
glasses at scale, becoming an integral part of their client's
mobile solutions in these pioneering industrial evolutions."
