BOSTON, MA, October 19, 2009 - Salient Stills, a leading video forensics and image enhancement software company, today announced it has hired Mark Payne as Director of U.S. sales. With more than seventeen years of experience equipping government agencies with information technology, Payne will manage sales into federal, state and local law enforcement, defense, intelligence and public safety agencies.

"Mark brings a successful track record in digital and video forensics and in working through the complicated government processes for adding new technologies," said Laura Teodosio, CEO of Salient Stills.

"Video surveillance is everywhere, and Salient Stills is known for its ease of use and ability to quickly and accurately generate images from surveillance video," said Payne. "I'm actively bringing Salient Stills' technology to the attention of more law enforcement and intelligence agencies, and demonstrating how it can help them achieve better results and fast ROI."
