  A Note from the CEO  

Dear C-nario Community,

It seems that there are positive indicators for recovery of the global economy and we expect that the demand for digital signage will grow in 2010. As a leading market player we continue to strengthen our relationship with existing and new partners. Corporations and organizations worldwide are looking for innovative technologies and software solutions for creating WOW customer experience.

C-nario meets this challenge and collaborates with strategic technology partners. Recently we strengthened our alliance with Intel and Microsoft and demonstrated our support for Intel® Core™ i7 Processor, Intel® AMT and the Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard 2011 platform. Our support enables us to introduce state-of-the-art solutions at low TCO.

We also announced strategic marketing alliance with Christie®, a global leader in visual solutions for business, entertainment and industry, and showcased at ISE 2010 our platform on Christie's new MicroTiles technology. In addition, we demonstrated our high impact digital signage solutions as well as our entry level product for SMBs – C-sign.

 

We continue to expand our distributors and integrators network and we signed an agreement with IKUSI, a global provider of communications and electronic solutions and services. This agreement will further help us to increase our presence in the international markets.

In a unique application that attracts world interest, we collaborated with Disk-In Pro in Israel’s Olympic museum. The concept of the museum is based on multi-sensory, interactive, multimedia experience conveying the Olympic values. The unique museum is one of very few Olympic museums in the world, and attracts the interest of people in the Olympic community worldwide.

Let’s hope that 2010 is the beginning of a new era in the digital signage world.

Enjoy reading,
Sincerely,

Arnon Diskin
Chief Executive Officer
C-nario Ltd.

Through the use of Intel Core i7 processors, C-nario dramatically decreased the number of computers required to drive a video wall, thereby providing energy and cost savings to customers. In addition, a multiple output digital signage player based on the Intel Core i7 processor can drive multiple discrete digital signage channels each including full high-definition video and additional layers.
