Raymond C. Musci, Chief Executive Officer of BAM!, commented “The single most significant accomplishment we have achieved in the year is the acquisition of VIS. This combination significantly enhances our competitive position within the industry, through well established internal development resources; specifically talent, technology, and, most importantly, intellectual property; as well as key management, personnel and relationships”

He added “We believe the combination will position the company with a much firmer footing, to compete not only on the current generation of hardware, but also future platforms as they are announced and released. We will also actively continue to explore and seek out other combinations and acquisitions as the business begins to mature and consolidate.”
