Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief
C-nario and AOpen, a leading small form factor (SFF) computer system manufacturer and a digital signage solution provider, today announced a partnership for the digital signage market. AOpen will integrate C-nario’s C-sign digital signage solution with its Digital Engine platform, and will market the integrated system to small and medium businesses (SMBs) across the United States.
The integrated system will be launched at Customer Engagement Technology World (CETW), to be held November 10-11, 2010 at the Javits Convention Center, New York and the system will be displayed at AOpen’s booth (#421).
AOpen’s Digital Engine is of course a compact and efficient media player, comprising various options, including TV tuner, Bluetooth, wireless LAN and mounting kits. Digital Engine offers a complete solution for digital signage applications, supporting high-definition video output. The system is shock and vibration proof, and it can be tailored to fit the user’s requirements.
Sam Losar, General Manager of C-nario USA told us “We are delighted to cooperate with AOpen and believe that C-sign’s strengths are complementing AOpen’s platform capabilities, resulting in a true synergy. AOpen has extensive experience in the digital signage sphere, and a wide distributors network that can distribute C-sign to numerous businesses across the United States. The integration of Digital Engine’s quality and ease of operation, with C-sign’s unique features, opens new horizons for small and medium businesses.”
Dale Tsai, President of AOpen America added “C-sign is a perfect answer to the growing interest of SMBs in digital signage solutions, and it will enable us to meet more closely the needs of this sector,” said “C-nario brings a wealth of expertise in the digital signage arena and a reputation as a supplier of advanced solutions that are both practical and reliable. The combined solution meets the requirements of SMBs for user-friendly digital signage solutions at an affordable price.”

This is great news to AOpen’s distribution partners that have been promised this over 3 months ago before AOpen’s San Francisco partner forum.
Getting these self-contained software bundles (from reputable software manufacturers) into broadline distribution will also help adoption and increase sales through the VAR channel.
We are hearing more MFG’s are following suit with similar bundle deals, enabling their partners sell ‘out of the box’ DS solutions.
