Why the StudioLite is the Next Strategy Phase

Why the StudioLite is the Next Strategy Phase

I have conversations with old Enterprise users, newbies and current customers on a daily basis. I’m typically on the phone with them for long periods, answering questions, resolving concerns and giving my two cents on ideas for business strategy. In the conversations with previous Enterprise users, I often ask what it was that drove them […]

Can Digital Signage Revive the Dying POS Industry?

With the likes of Square gaining massive traction in the retail arena, it’s not just the providers of kiosks that are taking a major hit. Retail POS providers are seeing massive ebbing of revenues from traditional point of sale systems thanks to leapfrogs in technology. I expect further dissolution will occur when NFC and other […]

Google Chromebox: A Digital Signage Player?

Google has been on a acquisition rage lately, nabbing up everything from home automation technologies to running robots. How they relate, I’m yet uncertain. The company still remains very focused on its core products and revenue streams, including online text-based advertising. The latest product release should prove a real serious threat to the likes of […]

Who is this blog for?

When regularly crafting content here for our blog, I feel it important to ask the question, “for whom am I creating all this dribble?” Am I blogging for our existing and/or future customers? Partly. Customer acquisition and retention are a big part of why we’re seeking to expand our presence in the blogosphere. When customers […]

Is Intel In For the Long Haul?

Sad news when a company the likes of Intel decides to let over 5K employees go. It’s tough not to be too critical of the “misaligned resources” as the article states. It’s interesting the picture premise to the piece includes an image of Intel CEO Brian Krzanich holding the company’s Edison chip, which has often […]

Open Source & StudioLite: The Next Game-Changing Jump in Digital Signage

The lines between Open Source and Freemium are frequently blurred and even more frequently misunderstood. For the software journey at MediaSignage, the outgrowth of Open Source has been the next natural extension of the community which we have successfully started and hope to successfully take into the future of out-of-home.

For example, let’s take a look at the restaurant […]

The Eventual Disappearance of Digital Signage Software Vendors

Posted by on Oct 17, 2013 in Industry, Insight, Pontifications

Does anyone recall a company called WordPerfect? Some will, but since the bundling of MSFT Office into nearly every PC, WordPerfect disappeared almost overnight. They had a great product (some would argue better than the Office suite), but it couldn’t compete with the distribution channel of a “preinstall.” Unfortunately, I could easily see the same […]

Digital Signage Industry Forecast: Post-Recession

Posted by on Jul 10, 2013 in Advertising, Industry, Insight, Pontifications

Truth be told, I’ve not actually sat down to write a “real” blog in about four years. This is one of the first posts I’ve written since 2009. I spent about two months writing several thousand words a day and scheduling the posts out every week or two out for several years. It was not […]
