Atlanta, GA - SYNNEX Corporation (NYSE: SNX), a leading distributor of IT products, announced today that it has developed an enhanced version of its ecommerce platform ECExpress for its North American customers.   Based on customer feedback, the new intuitively designed platform has been refined to reduce the time customers spend searching for and purchasing products from a single pane of glass, giving them more time to focus on servicing the needs of their customers. 

Through the new dashboard on the ECExpress home page, resellers will be able to:

• • Check SYNNEX inventory and prices with a single click, with enhanced search engine optimization which has improved accuracy and relevancy of keyword searches. 
  
• • Confirm order status and find out product availability and the SYNNEX warehouse from which products would ship. 
  
• • Order from a unified shopping cart from SYNNEX microsites such as CLOUDSolv, RENEWSolv, SERVICESolv and other Technology Solutions platforms, allowing the reseller to more easily review an order to ensure the reseller has everything it needs.
  
• • Easily find account summaries. 
  
• • Manage vendor product promotions and multiple incentive programs from one location through PROMOCentral, SYNNEX's proprietary promotional management platform.
  

"SYNNEX always strives to streamline processes for our customers so they can focus on their businesses," said Peter Larocque, President, North American Distribution.  "Our constant open communication lines with our customers have helped us identify how to make the ECExpress experience incredibly intuitive and easy to use so they reduce the time they spend on administration and spend more time selling." 

"It's clear that SYNNEX listened to the needs of its customers in the design and functionality of ECExpress 7.0 as all the data you need to use every day is right in front of you," said Chip Evans, SYNNEX Varnex Advisory Council member and President of Computerware, Inc. "The new order page also combines products, services and software licensing on one pane of glass.  ECExpress 7.0 reduces the time my team spends searching for solutions and gives them more time to service and sell to our clients."  

ECExpress 7.0 is expected to roll out to a select group of power users in May, then expected to become available to the rest of the customer base later in the year.

New browser-based control center now available online with intuitive interface that makes it easy to deploy and manage powerful and flexible video walls

Calgary, AB - Userful Corporation, an industry leader in centralized, interactive display software, has made their Userful Network Video Wall control center software available online for anyone to access directly from their browser. Last December, Userful unveiled the world’s first video wall to deliver real time, 4k content over the network on up to  twenty five screens. Userful stated that simplicity, flexibility and ease of use were the solution’s key features. Now Userful has put its video wall management tool online to publicly demonstrate how easy it can be to set up, deploy and manage artistic or grid video walls.  

The Userful Network Video Wall outputs a broad range of 4k content, including video, HTML5, 3D, Flash and more. The control center also ties in with a variety of third-party content management systems to enable real-time, and scheduled live content to the video wall. The innovative tool can be accessed from a browser from any device, even a smartphone or tablet. 

Userful has released a short instructional video showing how easy it can be to configure and manage a video wall, and in conjunction, has launched an online self service test site. The Userful control center makes it extremely simple to navigate, align and color-calibrate a video wall--either in a grid layout, or an artistic style video wall with a heterogenous mix of individual displays placed at any angle.

“For years video walls have been complex, expensive and intimidating. We set out to change all that by delivering a video wall that is flexible and powerful but also comes at an affordable price.  It’s the easiest to use solution on the market, and we are ready to prove that,” said Tim Griffin, founder & CTO of Userful. “Now anyone can use our online tool and see how easy deploying and managing video walls can be.”

The Userful Network Video Wall connects up to twenty five displays to a single server over a standard Ethernet network via a small, but robust zero client device. The platform allows for full creative layout of displays, so customers can deploy a standard grid configuration or setup an mosaic artistic ‘art-wall’ layout with any angle rotation to grab any audience's’ attention.

OpenEye Global recently celebrated its 13th anniversary by unveiling an updated brand refresh. Formed in 2002, the agency focuses on creating customer focused digital experiences.

New York, NY- OpenEye Global, an award-winning digital experience design agency recently celebrated its 13th anniversary by unveiling an updated brand refresh. The agency, which works with such prominent brands as Santander Bank, Madame Tussauds and Nordstrom, has experienced consistent growth since it launched in 2002.

“OpenEye started at a time when using visual & interactive technology to support customer engagement was not a common practice,” said Bryan Meszaros, OpenEye CEO and Founder. “We were conscious on how we evolved culturally and positioned our thoughts on interactive technology in a way that resonated with the industry.”

The refresh, which included a redesign to their website http://openeyeglobal.com/, helps to convey the agency’s current perspective on digital experience and showcase the many dynamic attributes of the brand culture.    

“It’s a struggle for agencies to maintain a conventional balance between growth and identity,” said Meszaros. “In looking at our overall appearance, we realized it did not lend well to how we perceive ourselves today. Aside from our image, we also worked on our messaging to incorporate key phrases such as 'Future Perfect' and 'Digital experiences for first and lasting impressions,' which help better articulate the agency’s mission.”

The agency originally started in New Jersey and eventually migrated to New York City before expanding to San Diego and London in 2012. Currently, OpenEye has 10 associates spread amongst the three studios.

Roger Starkweather, SVP of Sales & Experiences who joined OpenEye in 2014, commented, “In the time I have been with the agency, we have won several major accounts, which will help fuel our growth in 2015. OpenEye has a refreshing approach to creating meaningful digital experiences and our work demonstrates the level of talent we have in the agency.”

OpenEye also celebrated the recent acknowledgement of Meszaros being named to Design:Retail Magazine’s first ever 40 Under 40 list for top young professionals in the retail design community. “It’s a great honor and helps put into perspective the effort over the past 13 years to build OpenEye," added Meszaros. The award was presented on Monday, May 18th in New York City at the Design:Retail City Scene event.

About OpenEye Global 

Formed in 2002, OpenEye Global is an award-winning digital experience design agency, which looks to combine consumer insight, technology and creativity to redefine how brands engage with their audiences through multi-channel experiences. With studios in New York, San Diego, and London, OpenEye works with such high profile brands including Santander Bank, Madame Tussauds, and Nordstrom.

Rotate individual displays of any type to calibrate eye-catching art walls in minutes with cost-effective video wall platform

Calgary, AB - Userful Corporation, an industry leader in centralized display software, is making it simple and cost effective to deploy exciting and unique artistic video walls. The Userful Network Video Wall includes a drag and drop, browser-based control center that allows anyone to easily configure a video wall with any angle rotation of individual displays. By leveraging standard PC hardware and zero clients, Userful provides the artistic flexibility to use any layout and any display, making art-style video walls far more cost effective.  

With grid video walls becoming increasingly common, artistic video walls are in increasingly high demand as more and more businesses are looking to convey their specific brand message in an eye-catching and creative fashion. With previous art-wall approaches being built on cumbersome proprietary specialized hardware at an expensive price tag, Userful’s approach relies on industry standard hardware. This dramatically reduces costs and enables customers to deliver 4k content over the network in real time to an artistic, or mosaic video wall. Inexpensive zero client devices at each display connect over a standard Ethernet network to a single PC that can run one or more video walls across up to twenty five displays.

With Userful Network Video Wall, each display can be individually rotated at any angle and can be placed anywhere on the canvas. The solution also supports use of a mix of different sizes and types of display as seen in this architectural video wall feature at DSE 2015. 

From retail, hospitality and restaurants to museums and special events, Userful Network Video Wall allows any company looking to make a splash to quickly create remarkable artistic video walls. 

Tim Griffin, founder & CTO of Userful, is thrilled about providing artistic and architectural video walls at a low cost. 

“What we’re doing here is bringing the the features of high-end mosaic video walls to conventional low-cost displays, and helping customers create a unique video wall installation for a fraction of conventional costs,” Griffin said. “Other comparable video wall solutions are much more costly and are incredibly difficult to operate. Whether for grid or creative art walls, Userful video wall can help them without any complexity or extra costs.”

It’s simple for any business or organization to get started with a Userful Network Video Wall and deploy stunning digital signage.

The SignWave digital door sign, a pioneering electronic meeting room display for event scheduling data automation, receives a complete refresh that provides conference room managers a plethora of installation options, colors and features all wrapped around a larger and higher resolution LCD touch display.

LENEXA, Kan. (June 1, 2015) – Keywest Technology, Inc. announced today that it had refreshed SignWave™ with more options and features for 2015, including a bigger wall-mount LCD. The SignWave refresh also includes all-new designer frames that minimize the labor required for installation. The frames offer a multitude of color options, making it easy to match a building’s décor. It also received various software updates including an upgrade to Android™ 4.2 OS, ensuring its ability to run stably in a 24/7 environment. Most significantly, the touch-enabled LCD screen has increased from 10 to 13.3 inches, the largest display available in its class.

SignWave, known for its dependable workaday duty as a digital door sign for meeting rooms and conference centers, pioneered the set-it-and-forget-it philosophy by integrating with popular event and property management software programs. According to Koytt Nichols, Director of R&D, the goals for the SignWave refresh were “to substantially decrease installation time, improve security and increase display attractiveness and visibility.”

To this end, SignWave now ships with a touchscreen that is 33% larger than the previous model. “Nobody wants to stop and stare at meeting room signage,” says Nichols. “At best, you get a quick glance as attendees shuffle in and out of meeting rooms. The larger screen size gives viewers extra confidence in finding the right meeting place without missing a step.”  The larger 13.3-inch display also offers greater display performance with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels and a contrast ratio of 500:1.

Besides making the event and meeting schedules easier to see and read, the refreshed SignWave also decreases installation labor by over 50%, effectively reducing the cost of ownership. Part of the labor savings is obtained by using a custom commercial display. The OEM display includes a built-in Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), which means that only a single CAT-5 or CAT-6 cable is necessary to supply both data and power. All external third-party parts have been eliminated. The other part that makes installation a snap is the addition of the exclusive designer frames. The designer frames offer a quick-mount wall plate that hangs over a single gang box. Four additional mount holes are provided in the wall plate to secure it to any wall. This means that if a single gang box is in place and the CAT-5/6 cable is present, SignWave can be installed in just a few minutes to any wall surface.

Another important feature that has been added as an option to the designer frames is the Key-Rex™ security screws. These OEM screws give SignWave a unique “key” for removing the outer frame that is both tamper- and vandal-proof. This completely secures SignWave in public venues like hotels, where asset protection cannot be an afterthought.

Finally, the SignWave refresh includes a fresh coat of paint, too. The designer frames now come standard with a choice of seven industrial coatings that not only look sophisticated but are extremely durable for a public-use environment. “However,” noted Nichols, “we can custom paint or wrap any graphic on these frames to match a building’s unique ambiance.”

The refreshed SignWave started shipping in the spring of 2015, and all noted options are available immediately. Further details are available atwww.signwave.us.com.
