June 23, 2009
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Aerva, a provider of digital signage technology, has unveiled Aerva Presto, its next-generation digital signage software for the smaller enterprise and education markets. Aerva Presto includes social networking widgets, a full drag-and-drop user interface, and a template-based approach allowing anyone to update or modify signage content in just a few minutes. The new product complements Aerva AerWave, a digital signage product with additional features for the enterprise. Both Presto and AerWave are digital signage products built on top of Aerva's digital signage platform, AerChannel, now in Version 4.2.
"Workflow is easy in Aerva Presto," noted Kerry Gallivan, technology director of Maine School Administrative District #75 in Topsham, Maine. "Content upload to Aerva's cloud computing backend is a breeze and making digital screens come alive with relevant school information was easily achieved. Also, Aerva's software-as-a-service (SaaS) model makes it easy operationally and budgetarily.
The various widgets provided by Aerva make Presto a complete solution. There are widgets for Twitter, Flickr, YouTube and Facebook that can immediately allow a network to tap into rich content that is already out there or be able to create new content using a full-featured editor in Presto."
"Aerva Presto now fills a much-needed void in the schools and smaller enterprises. Presto's usability, reliability and immediate access to a rich library of widgets, plus connections to social networking apps make it very attractive. Aerva has a well-established reputation as a leading innovator. We listen closely to our customers – we will continue to offer innovative solutions to our customers and the marketplace," said Sanjay Manandhar, CEO of Aerva.
