Solution

Within the MTC Experience project my team has created MTC Experience Packs which are a curated set of compelling story telling assets built to enable Technical Architects to tell industry stories and bring the solutions to life. Each Pack includes customer case studies, interactive or video demos and creative imagery & elements. Experience Packs have a flexible design to enable virtual, in-person and hybrid delivery from a single laptop or multi kiosk displays in centers. The customers and partners that are featured in these demos range from start-ups to Fortune 500 companies.

Outcome

The core content for the stories is packaged in the Four Winds content management system and is available for deployment in each center. The content is designed in such a way that customers can interact with it on their own. There are also supporting materials and demos for use by the technical architects when they are giving guided tours.
Once a person touches the screen an interactive mega map is displayed. This map allows them to navigate to any of the stories described above. They can get the overview of the solutions and watch videos describing the solution benefits. In some cases, there may be interactive demos. Examples of these incredible Megmaps I created are shown below. In the case of the Houston Energy Center, I also designed the floor layout and wall graphics
