Apple Picked These Folks For Their iPhone Launch

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

One of our great USPs we think, is our ability to pick up the phone and talk to the CEO’s and senior exec’s of the major industry players. Yesterday we had a call with Chris Riegel, CEO of STRATACACHE.

Chris founded the company back in 1999 and since then, at regular but not hurried intervals, has been on a small acquisition spree (firms like ActiVia) that has seen them be able to offer not only efficient content management, caching and load balancing services but latterly a digital signage offering.

They have partnered with 5 of the World’s largest Telco’s and in the US have scored major signage wins with the likes of AT&T Mobility’s Experience Store and iPhone digital signage network (I am told that this was 2007’s largest single rollout of digital signage in retail?)

If you are going to Digital Signage Expo in Las Vegas then we thoroughly recommend listening to Chris Riegel yourself who will be discussing the AT&T implementation during a panel discussion, titled “Bringing It All Together,” on Thursday, February 28 at 4:30 p.m.
