Daily DOOH Announces Top Ten Digital Signage Vendors

As I mentioned last week in the post about EnQii’s participation in the NRF’s convention and expo, the Daily DOOH has indeed published an article listing their Top Ten Digital Signage Vendors, and the reasoning they used in their choices.

Their Top Ten List is as follows:

=1 Cisco
=1 EnQii
3. Broadsign
4. C-nario
5. YCD
6. ScreenRed
7. Scala
8. Remotemedia
9. TELentice
10.Stratacache

Some of the criteria used in the DOOH’s choices were:

  • worldwide coverage – employees, offices, support
  • a TOTAL SOLUTION not just a piece of hardware or software
  • big internal development teams
  • devices not PCs
  • (If PC) Linux not Windows
  • ASP / SaaS offering
  • Solid Product Roadmap going forward (innovation)
  • Financial Stability
  • Proven Track Record – minimum of several 1,000+ site deployments
  • Please read the entire article; it will not only clarify all of these things; it will also give you lists of other digital signage companies that bear watching!

    EnQii President to Speak About Digital Signage at NRF Convention and Expo

    From Digital Signage Central comes this article about EnQii president Stuart Armstrong’s speaking engagement at the 2009 National Retail Federation’s Annual Convention & Expo last week, on Tuesday, Jan. 13, 2009, at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City.

    Entitled “Creating Competitive Advantage with In-Store Digital Signage”, the half hour speech at 3:00 P.M. is designed to point attendees in the best direction regarding the use of in-store digital signage.

    Armstrong will be joined by Bernie Shimkovitz, president of Alliance Financing, in order to demonstrate various business models and how to avoid the traditional up-front capital expenditure (CapEx) outlay for a network.

    “This is an excellent platform to convey some of the knowledge we have amassed at EnQii about digital signage,” Armstrong said. “I’ll be showing how to drive increases in core metrics such as conversions and sales uplifts, as well as putting teeth into cross-channel merchandising. And both myself and Bernie Shimkovitz with be talking about the effectiveness of digital merchandising when applied to financing options.”

    Enqii was recently rated #1 of the Top Ten Digital Signage Vendors, according to the Daily DOOH.
