Marketwired
iSIGN Media Solutions Inc. ("iSIGN" or "Company") (TSX VENTURE:
ISD), is pleased to announce that is has partnered with Skipton
Group Inc. ("Skipton") on two Original Equipment Manufacturer
("OEM") initiatives for the IBM AnyPlace™ Kiosk.
As a software solutions partner, iSIGN will license its patent
pending interactive proximity messaging solution to Skipton - a
Premier IBM Business Partner with expertise in self-service
technology solution design, integration and deployment - for the
purposes of enhancing two innovative self-service offerings based
on IBM's AnyPlace™ Kiosk platform. Consumers will soon be able to
interact with two new kiosk innovations - a "Digital Greeter", and
an Interactive cosmetic try-on tool, dubbed, the 'Virtual Makeover
Kiosk'.
The Digital Greeter, designed for retail chains to virtually
"greet" and communicate with consumers' cell phones, offers loyalty
membership coupons and brand advertising at no cost to the
consumer.
"There is a very high demand for in-store promotional delivery
methods that bypass printed leaflets and coupons while capturing
consumer responses and participation," states Alex Romanov, iSIGN's
Chief Executive Officer. "This Digital Greeter will set the
standard for interactive Bluetooth messaging technology with an
exclusive host of shopper conveniences and unprecedented access to
valuable shopper insight."
An innovative hardware enclosure design for the Digital Greeter
is in development by one of Canada's most innovative and trusted
consumer packaged goods strategy consultants, The Central
Group.
The Virtual Makeover Kiosk is powered by innovative cosmetic
try-on application software. It is designed to provide North
America's most prominent cosmetic retailers with an innovative and
relevant solution to reach shoppers at the point of purchase in a
market worth over $20 billion annually.
iSIGN's licensed Bluetooth transmission solution is embedded in
the kiosk to deliver user-relevant product offerings and
brand-sponsored beauty tips directly to a shopper's mobile phone -
providing an opportunity to influence purchase decisions in real
time. iSIGN will power their interactive messaging solution on the
IBM AnyPlace™ Kiosk platform, seen as the industry's most reliable,
proven and supported self-service technology solution.
Retailers will be introduced to both the Digital Greeter and
Virtual Makeover Kiosk at the Digital Signage Expo (DSE) in Las
Vegas, booth #1450, February 24-25, 2010.
"This route to market - leveraging the contributing partners'
complementary skill-sets with IBM's proven technology and iSIGN's
innovative approach to reaching consumers - will be an industry
first," adds Andy Bruce, Business Development Manager for Skipton
Group. "Both kiosks are supported by scalable and customizable
software platforms from industry leading independent software
vendors."
iSIGN is now poised to become a software vendor to several other
major enterprises this quarter.
