C-nario and AOpen Partner to Provide Digital Signage Solutions for US Small and Medium Business Market

C-nario, a global provider of digital signage software solutions, and AOpen, a leading small form factor (SFF) computer system manufacturer and a digital signage solution provider, announced a partnership for the digital signage market. AOpen will integrate C-nario’s C-sign digital signage solution with its Digital Engine platform, and will market the integrated system to small and medium businesses (SMBs) across the United States. The integrated system will be launched at Customer Engagement Technology World (CETW), to be held November 10-11, 2010 at the Javits Convention Center, New York. The system will be displayed at AOpen’s booth (#421). 

C-sign is designed for small and medium businesses, enabling users to upload all types of content (video, images, text) easily, schedule the content and manage it through a Web browser with a user friendly interface, from anywhere, anytime. C-Sign includes pre-designed graphic templates that can be easily customized to the user’s preferences. The solution delivers the highest playback quality, helps SMBs enhance customer experience, promote their brand, and deliver useful information in the most efficient manner. C-Sign utilizes the superb quality of C-nario’s products, and it can be scaled from a standalone display system to networked multiple displays. 

AOpen’s Digital Engine is a compact and efficient media player, comprising various options, including TV tuner, Bluetooth, wireless LAN and mounting kits. Digital Engine offers a complete solution for digital signage applications, supporting high-definition video output. The system is shock and vibration proof, and it can be tailored to fit the user’s requirements. 

“We are delighted to cooperate with AOpen and believe that C-sign's strengths are   complementing AOpen’s platform capabilities, resulting in a true synergy,” said Sam Losar, General Manager of C-nario USA. “AOpen has extensive experience in the digital signage sphere, and a wide distributors network that can distribute C-sign to numerous businesses across the United States. The integration of Digital Engine’s quality and ease of operation, with C-sign's unique features, opens new horizons for small and medium businesses.”
