ZOMM!!! OpenCamp Dallas’ Titanium Sponsor for 2010!

Wow! HUGE news today from OpenCamp HQ! ZOMM has snapped up our Titanium Sponsor slot, making them OpenCamp’s biggest sponsor! All I can say, on behalf of all of our organizers and attendees is, THANK YOU ZOMM!!!

Rest assured, there are going to be a lot more thank you’s coming, but for now I’d like to focus a little attention on analyzing who this ZOMM company is, and why in the heck they felt so strongly about supporting OpenCamp!

ZOMM is an innovative company that created a personal communication device which pairs with your mobile phone to deliver three main features:

1. It’s a digital leash which sets off an alarm when your phone is out of range (ie – you forgot your phone!).
2. Its a bluetooth speakerphone to let you make calls hands-free from just your keychain.
3. Its an emergency alarm that will dial 911 or a pre-programmed phone number at the touch of a button.

Cali covered ZOMM on a GeekBrief a while back, and here’s what she had to say about it:

So, why would a technology company like ZOMM sponsor OpenCamp? Well, there are a few reasons!

• Like many other companies, ZOMM actually uses an open-source CMS for their own Website! And founders Laurie and Henry recognize the value the community brings in enabling them and other businesses to rapidly build out their Web infrastructure. For this reason ZOMM is interested in giving back to, and encouraging, our local development community.
• ZOMM recognizes the power of New Media and wants to be right in the middle of the action! They have been extremely active on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, and even their official company blog! WOW! This is a company that really gets it!
• They are looking to do more than sling product. They want to develop relationships with their clients, solicit feedback, learn how people are using them, and generally ensure that the ZOMM ownership experience is absolutely top notch! You know that a company is serious about customer service when their President is putting herself out there within reach of the general public.

Once again, we are extremely pleased to welcome ZOMM as the top OpenCamp sponsor for our inaugural year, and on behalf of all of our attendees, speakers and organizers – THANK YOU!
