SALT LAKE CITY –November 23, 2009 –SageCreek Partners, a consulting company that provides mentor capital for technology businesses, has signed Portalis as one of its newest client accounts. Portalis LC, of Midvale, Utah, provides patented technology for monitoring and controlling multiple systems from a single workstation. Portalis’ new Workstation Integrator is beginning its first implementation in the broadcast industry as it prepares for market launch in 2010.

The Workstation Integrator is the only solution that allows control room operators to monitor up to eight computers and systems from a single integrated workstation.  This new approach will dramatically increase support for mission-critical control room decisions in applications such as broadcasting, military and civilian command and control, and industrial process control.

The Workstation Integrator uses novel image processing techniques to bring vital information from varied sources together for strategic placement on a single display. The solution lets operators make accurate and timely judgments without being confused or sidetracked by nonessential input. Unlike existing software patches or KVM switches, the Workstation Integrator is an elegant solution that doesn’t require new drivers or software, and requires no redesign or changes in the independent systems. The Workstation Integrator also allows multiple managers and operators to share control, giving them new ability to view the same set of systems, create unique information layouts, or share control of specific systems.

“Our relationship with SageCreek Partners is allowing us to bring this solution to the market far more quickly and efficiently than we could have accomplished on our own,” said Dan Bastian, president and CEO of Portalis LC.  “The ability to find ideal funding partners, scale our operations, and become pervasive in the national and global marketplace is the kind of thing that SageCreek has accomplished for many leading technology vendors before. We are happy to bring our patented technology to market with the help of SageCreek’s unique set of skills.”

“We are extremely pleased to welcome Portalis into our portfolio,” said Russ Warner, Managing Director of SageCreek. “Their technology is a critical solution that is truly unique—and this makes it an ideal company for us to help to bring to the market.”
