Omnivex Named a CRN Emerging Tech Vendor
Omnivex's new digital signage software suite, Moxie, highly advanced for the market
Concord, Ontario, July 7, 2008 - Omnivex Corporation, a leader in developing enterprise class digital signage software, today announced it has been
selected by Everything Channel as a CRN Emerging Tech vendor for its new software platform, Omnivex Moxie. CRN's Emerging Tech list captures companies that are
delivering high margins for solution providers with innovative and easy-to-use technology that undercuts industry giants.
Moxie's role is to improve the process to rapidly develop and deploy digital signage networks and significantly lower the cost to operate these systems. This technology
will enable content developers, network operators and marketing managers to take advantage of the latest advances in Windows graphics capabilities, network management
and tie them directly to real time information. Omnivex Moxie combines Omnivex's vast experience in digital signage, real-time data and full 3D graphics, to provide the
most advanced digital signage platform available on the market.
Omnivex's award-winning digital signage software has been helping innovative organizations worldwide to better inform, persuade, motivate and engage their audiences,
through effective visual communications. Omnivex started in the financial trading industry where real-time information and ROI are critical to business, so the company
recognizes the value of live data for updating content. Omnivex provides a data centric solution that allows customers to leverage existing assets and drive operating
costs out of their networks. This type of signage is strategic and dynamic, resulting in increased revenue, reduced costs and more satisfied customers.
Omnivex software is sold and supported by Omnivex Certified Partners world-wide. Omnivex serves a number of market segments, including operations and human resources,
manufacturing, transportation, education, financial services, hospitality, public venues, retail, and healthcare. With thousands of deployments running and installations
dating back to the early 90's, Omnivex is well established in the digital signage arena. Omnivex makes powerful software to manage all aspects of digital signage
networks, including content management, real-time data acquisition and distribution, and remote device monitoring and management.
According to the CRN Emerging Tech Survey, the top reasons solution providers add emerging technologies include, the technology is superior to other products in the
market segment; the technology compliments a solution providers' existing practice areas; emerging vendors provide better services opportunities; emerging vendors pay
better attention to partners; emerging vendors offer higher margins, customers want alternative product choices; and emerging vendors have better joint marketing
programs. In addition, 61 percent of solutions providers surveyed plan to increase the number of emerging technology vendors they partner with in the next 12 months.
"New and innovative vendor partners can help spur profitable new ideas that Solution Providers can use to build revenue and customer loyalty, and the CRN Emerging
Tech list is where Solution Providers go to find these vendors," said Robert C. Demarzo, senior vice president and editorial director, Everything Channel editorial.
Vendors who make the CRN Emerging Tech list must have an established solution provider program and formal guidelines for recruiting channel partners. They must
demonstrate that its direct sales mix is trending down as evidenced by the company's revenue history, a channel positive or channel neutral strategy for internal
sales compensation, and not be a dominant market share player. Final selection to the Emerging Technology list was made at the discretion of the CRN editorial team
after a review of the submitted information and conversations with current or targeted partners.
Omnivex developed Moxie software to meet people's rising expectations for both richer and more relevant content on display screens. "With greater exposure to high-end
graphics from computer games and with the pending cutover to HDTV by 2009, people's expectations of video content are growing rapidly," said Jeff Collard, president of
Omnivex. "Digital signage today is flat, and the graphics are limited. Moxie will change all of that."
