Viable Featured in Fortune Small Business
Rockville, MD (PRWEB) September 17, 2008 -- Viable is profiled in the October 2008 issue of Fortune Small Business. Jason T. Yeh, VP of Technology at Viable, appears on the cover along with the VPAD, a videophone developed by Viable for deaf and hard of hearing people.
"We know of no other major business magazine in which a deaf person or a communications device for the deaf has appeared on the cover," said Glenn Lockhart, director of corporate communications at Viable. "We are excited about the nationwide exposure this article will bring to the deaf community."
Fortune Small Business, which is owned by CNN and has one of the largest circulations of any business magazine, ran a cover story on disability entrepreneurship in technology. Viable was profiled because, in addition to being a successful provider of video relay services (VRS) and a developer of videophones, the company is deaf-owned and deaf-operated.
For the article, well-respected technology journalist Jonathan Blum toured the Viable headquarters and interviewed various Viable employees. He took part in several VRS calls prior to visiting and used an ASL interpreter throughout his visit to the Viable company building. "The result is an article that clearly shows Viable as a deaf-oriented company on a mission to be the top provider of VRS technologies and services," said Mr. Lockhart.
The October 2008 issue can be found at newsstands and bookstores this month and the article is available online here (http://money.cnn.com/2008/09/11/smallbusiness/helping_deaf_callers_connect.fsb/index.htm).
