SILICON SLOPES, UT--(Marketwired - Nov 16, 2016) -  Teem, a developer of cloud-based meeting tools and analytics that aid in helping companies collaborate more effectively, was presented with the prestigious "Current, powered by GE Partner Innovation Award" at GE's annual premier industrial internet event, Minds + Machines 2016.

The insights obtained provide companies with never-before-utilized analytics that help to maximize meeting room usability and keep buildings more energy efficient.

"Receiving the 'Current, powered by GE, Partner Innovation Award' is a true honor, as we consider both Current and GE well-respected and valuable partners," said Shaun Ritchie, CEO of Teem. "We're very proud of the advancement we've made through our partnership and look forward to finding new ways to utilize Current's Micro-services to help companies work more efficiently and ultimately, be more productive."

Key features of the award-winning Teem and Current partnership include a building intelligence platform that provides detailed information about how offices work, sensor activated analytics that scan rooms to check attendees in and solutions that utilize long-lasting, ultra-efficient LEDs to maximize energy efficiency.

"Teem's innovative approach to integrating with Current has proven to be a strong advancement in the arena of meeting room solutions," said Dave Bartlett, CTO, Current, powered by GE. "This opens up significant improvements in the management of workspace and increases productivity amongst our clients and we are excited to present this award to Teem."
