Gestalt Group, LLC

1. Gestalt Group, LLC

2. Mission Statement • To design the most advanced, yet cost-efficient, virtually co-locative engineering extranet for the manufacturing industry, and to deploy this extranet through both integration services and the outsourcing of engineering services to its clients.

3. What is an Extranet? • A network which extends corporate information flow OUTSIDE the company. • GGNet will function as a PRIVATE telecommunications network connecting multiple sites within a large manufacturing company, BUT it also will make available to each client company the engineering resources of other client companies.

4. When a new client subscribes to GGNet they will do so in order to acquire co-location and collaboration ability within their company, OR, to make their company’s expertise available to other clients of GGNet, OR, to obtain the services which existing clients of GGNet have to offer.

5. What is Virtual Co-location? • Such High-quality audio and video that the collaborating parties FEEL that they are separated only by two panes of glass (on the front of their monitors). • On the manufacturing floor, the camera can be moved on a boom to view all parts of the machine tool (and multiple cameras can be used simultaneously).

6. Business Concept • By combining the technology of switched ATM through it’s telecommunications partner, along with industry-standard hardware and software, Gestalt Group will provide a technical solution of virtually collocative engineering within the manufacturing industry.

7. Business Concept • Gestalt Group has partnered with SPRINT for Domestic ATM services, GLOBAL ONE and GLOBAL CROSSING for International ATM services, and General DataComm for ATM switches. • Gestalt Group has initially focused on clients in the Manufacturing Sector.

8. Manufacturing Problems • Demand for mechanical, industrial, and manufacturing engineers has outstripped supply. • Engineering projects have grown global in scope increasing travel costs. • “Teamwork” is the new mantra within engineering, but geographic and telecommunication barriers hinder the optimal utilization of such resources. • Design and pre-production cycles have compressed in time. • Today’s production solution dictates a real-time interface to the manufacturing floor.

9. Gestalt’s Solutions • Demand for mechanical, industrial, and manufacturing engineers has outstripped supply. • Our solution is a network that provides: • On-demand outsource engineering services • Resource access and allocation for existing engineering services within the client corporation • Access to a secure engineering knowledge base

10. Gestalt’s Solutions • Engineering projects have grown global in scope. • “Teamwork” is the new mantra within engineering, but geographic and telecommunication barriers hinder the optimal utilization of such resources. • We provide a global ATM-based network for real-time, on-demand virtual collocation through voice, video, and data services.

11. Gestalt’s Solutions • Design and pre-production cycles have compressed in time. • Enhanced collaboration among dispersed experts facilitated by the ATM network results in better, quicker design decisions (no travel necessary).

12. Gestalt’s Solutions • Today’s production solution dictates a real-time interface to the manufacturing floor. • PC-based controllers connected by the network are configurable on-the-fly by remote engineers. • The network allows the engineer to be virtually present at the machine tool. • The machinist receives support via the network in the form of real-time access to the engineering knowledge base.

14. How Do You Use GGNet? • As an engineer at an ATM wired multi-media workstation you press a hotkey which opens a window in your browser GGNET Workstation #A47353 Your ID code?[ ENGINEER ] [CALL?] [SEARCH?] [CLOSE]

15. How Do You Use GGNet? • As a machinist you can make calls to Engineers or to Reference Documentation GGNET Tool #R37CT58 Your ID code?[ MACHINIST ] [CALL?] [SEARCH?] [CLOSE]

16. If you press CALL you get a form returned to your browser • Combo Box of possible contacts (contacts are pre-authorized and listing shows those now in conferences) • Combo Box of kinds of calls: pt-to-pt data, pt-to-pt video, both, multi-pt video, or multi-cast video. • Combo Box for length of call and for priority.

17. When the completed from is submitted the caller waits for the called parties to accept. The outcomes are: 1. The connection is established and the conference commences 2. All of the necessary ressources to complete the call are not available and the system returns an estimate of when the call could be completed as requested. 3. The system returns a notice that there is no answer (the YOU HAVE A <video> CALL FROM <engineer> box which popped up on the callee’s workstation did not receive an [ACCEPT] within the allotted period)
