Inside a Digital Signage Software Company

We're delighted to report that Ryarc and Advantech have joined forces to offer a combined Player+Software offering for Digital Signage.  The Advantech unit is a compact, robust high performance PC unit about the size of a book and will come factory fitted with the CampaignManager software.  Here's the press release: http://www.newswiretoday.com/news/14050/

Advantech will now offer CampaignManager as a part of their expanding Digital Signage offerings.  See the units here.

We were "back stage" at Tech.Ed yesterday helping install our demo Embedded System at the Sydney Exhibition Centre.  Don Kerr (Pictured) is Strategy Manager for Embedded Computing at Microsoft Australia and was very nearly as excited (as you can see) as us to see High Definition digital signage running Windows XP embedded.

And it looks like they got their net connectivity issues sorted because as you can see from the image below, the device we installed there is up and running.  (The device at Tech.Ed is configured to connect to our lab here on the other side of the City.)
