Santos Corporation recently completed a move to their new HQ which involved a multi million dollar audio visual install.  Santos required a cinema like experience in the lobby showcasing the company's values and history and a mix of smaller screens with touch screen capability achieved this using Panasonic's gigantic new 103" LCD TV.  The lobbies of the new building have been fitted out with smaller screens which are capable of displaying the same content which can be dismissed with a touch to access an interactive directory.  Ryarc's CampaignManager digital signage software was used to power all the displays.  Some pictures:

Neptune reports are an add-on to CampaignManager that allow you to create reports based on Campaign, Media or Channel (RDD).  It's extremely simple to use and setup and replaces the old 'raw xml' reporting that was present up till now.  We'll be posting a download link in the coming days, but here are two screen shots in the mean time!

Some development opportunities have arisen at our Sydney offices.  Please check out the two posts below if  you're interested!
