Digital AV Wins Innovation Award in Indiana
Digital AV, a Fort Wayne based software integrations company, has won the Northeast Indiana Innovation Award based on the total integration of a local high technology manufacturing company with digital signage.
Exton, PA (PRWEB) October 27, 2006 -- Scala Inc. (http://www.scala.com), the world's leading software platform for digital signage, today announced Digital AV, a Scala Certified Partner based in Indianapolis and Fort Wayne, has been awarded the Northeast Indiana Innovation Award in the services sector for a new innovation in applied technologies.
Digital AV, a Fort Wayne based software integrations company, won the award based on the total integration of a local high technology manufacturing company with digital signage. The company, BAE Systems, installed a series of networked plasma monitors throughout its Indiana facility displaying critical plant and corporate information driven by a specialized software suite named Scala InfoChannel. Digital AV is one of the largest integrators of Scala in the United States. The application has since been expanded to other BAE locations throughout the country and now includes manufacturing facilities in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Texas.
Innovation Award judges included the CEO's and Founders of some of the largest companies in Northeast Indiana including Steel Dynamics and Biomet Corporation. Semi-finalist winners met with the judges on September 22, 2006 for the final time. Entries were judged by whether the innovation had proved itself as a commercial success or had a clear path towards becoming a commercial success.
Tom Johnson, President of Digital AV said the award was "a fine compliment" and that he looked forward to continued innovation through corporate digital signage networks in years to come. Digital AV was started in 2003 as a solution provider to OEM companies for corporate communications beyond e-mail systems and web pages. "Our customers were developing budgets for corporate communication systems that were never really reaching the employees," Johnson said. "Digital signage in the corporate environment brings a whole new level to inter-plant communications putting a face on the systems that companies have spent so much time and money to develop."
"Other DAV customers range from universities to sports stadiums and everything in-between," he said. "Almost any organization with people to reach and ideas to transmit are candidates for digital signage and we are fortunate to be riding the first wave of this important new technology."
Final judging for "Innovator of the Year" will be announced at a November 10th luncheon.
