Wow; has it really been four months since we last posted?  Smack our collective hands! We really must do better.  We do have an excuse though, if you will allow us; we've been very busy!  Ryarc has had an awesome 2007, a year that saw our deployed screens quadruple.  You may have seen some press releases in the run up to the end of the year, covering digital signage software deployments to the Australian FitnessFirst gym network (The World's largest), Permanent TSB Bank in Ireland.  Look out for some press releases in the coming weeks and months for more news on CampaignManager. 

CampaignManager and Product Roadmap

Since August of last year, our Sydney Australia based team of software designers and developers have been working hard on our next major revision, which we hope to release by the end of Q1 this year.  This has been a long time coming, but we're taking the time we need to get it right.  I'll blog more (promise) on that release closer to the date.  We've got some truly awesome new features in there which we are genuinely excited about.  In Q2 we'll be releasing our Audio system which will allow users to easily and quickly create a "live" radio feel.  This is an addition to CampaignManager, so you'll be able to manage all your visuals and audio from a single robust platform.

Corporate Environmental Responsibility

I blogged some time ago about "Carbon Neutral Software" an idea of an industry association which would help encourage and accredit IT companies who make the (more expensive) switch to energy consumption that favours renewable or carbon neutral sources.  We switched to 100% renewable enegry for our offices here in Sydney back in August of 07.  Fully Carbon Neutral power is not yet an option here in Sydney, so our energy is derived from Wind, Solar, Biomass and other (non-fossil) sources.  We're really too small and insignificant to get this rolling but isn't it a little disapointing to see multi-billion dollar software companies sitting on their hands?
