Jeff Porter, Executive Vice President Scala Inc., will sit on a panel of distinguished digital signage experts at Digital Signage Expo and discuss content software for the industry.
Exton, PA (PRWEB) February 19, 2008 -- Scala, the leading provider of end-to-end solutions for the digital signage market, today announced that Jeff Porter, Executive Vice President Scala Inc. will sit on a panel of distinguished digital signage experts at Digital Signage Expo and discuss content software for the industry. Digital Signage Expo is in Las Vegas, NV on February 27 - 28, 2008 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Visit Scala at booth #305 and see the latest digital signage software solutions from the recognized global leader.
Software from a wide variety of suppliers is used to create content that runs on digital signage systems, for formatting video, for playlist control and for compliance (reporting what ran when on the DS system). There are many competing software products available. And software being software, two challenges face the systems integrator and the end-user:
| | - Software doesn't really have the kind of "specs" that allow A/B comparison when deciding which product to go with
- Some Software providers, in good faith, will claim that their product can do whatever the client requests (and then quickly create a plug-in to address the desired feature)
|
This session will attempt to demystify the competitive features of the main software packages available for digital signage. It will also address what training the various software package providers make available to AV integrators.
"Jeff Porter is one of the pioneers of the digital signage industry," says Gerard Bucas, CEO Scala. "Because of his vast experience and knowledge in the industry, Jeff is eminently qualified to discuss the software solutions of the industry and relate issues to end-user experiences."
