(2012-03-05) - Automated, targeted distribution and display
of digital signage content for real estate broker network
Johns Creek, Georgia - Wegener Corporation (OTCQB: WGNR.PK),
a leading provider of equipment for television, audio and
data distribution networks worldwide, today announced
technology partner, Dolphinio Business Services, has launched
a pilot digital signage system for a national network of real
estate offices.
The application features the integration of customized web
pages and WEGENER's CompelConnect.com™ Software-as-a-Service
(SaaS). This unique combination of processes and services
distributes the job of updating general sign content, like
crawl messages, graphics, or video, directly to multiple
contributors, using simple, secure web forms. The
CompelConnect.com service automatically aggregates and
delivers these updates without additional operator
interaction. "A manageable workflow for content updates is
critical when planning a large signage network. Even small
tasks can become overwhelming when multiplied by thousands of
sites. WEGENER's systems are designed to be scalable and with
streamlined workflow in mind," stated Ric Vega, National
Channel Sales Manager for WEGENER.
Dolphinio Business Services is a systems and business process
integration company. Using WEGENER's API interface and
auto-file update feature, Dolphinio Business Services manages
an unlimited number of individual login credentials for
content contribution - completely automating digital signage
updates by a large number of independent contractors.
"The power of this integration with CompelConnect.com allows
the engine driving the complex coordination of multiple
content contributors to be behind the scenes," stated Kurt
Cleveland, Director of Market Development for Dolphinio
Business Services. "Contributors need only interface with
simple, custom, network-centric, web portals."
WEGENER National Channel Sales Manager, Ric Vega, along with
WEGENER Vice President and System Architect, Gary Pelkey,
will be available in booth #764 at the 2012 Digital Signage
Expo to discuss WEGENER's digital signage solutions for
content localization.
The Digital Signage Expo is the world's largest
international trade show and conference dedicated to digital
signage, interactive technology, and Out-of-Home networks.
The 2012 exhibition will be held in the Las Vegas Convention
Center, March 7-8.
