BlueStar inks distribution deal with iSIGN Media

BlueStar announced today that it has entered into a distribution agreement with iSIGN Media Solutions Inc. to distribute iSIGN's patent pending interactive software technology.

BlueStar is one of AOpen America Inc.'s major distributors with specific focus on the POS marketplace. BlueStar POS clients include major organizations in healthcare, government and education where BlueStar sees the need for iSIGN's software technology. The embedding of iSIGN's software into AOpen's digital engines has created what the company calls the world's first multifunction digital engine/media player, capable of providing content management for digital signage, Bluetooth message broadcasting and data logging of consumers' mobile device responses into a single unit.

This provides the digital signage industry and their clients with cost savings, added business intelligence and convenience that has not been previously available.

"BlueStar is excited about our new partnership and channel distribution opportunities with a leading global manufacturer like AOpen and their innovative digital signage partner iSIGN Media" BlueStar Director of Digital Signage Gary Childress said. "This partnership is a perfect fit for our value-added approach of providing product bundles and innovative end-to-end solutions with our established POS dealers in the retail and hospitality markets and our growing network of Digital Signage resellers."

The combination of AOpen's client base and BlueStar POS customers will provide users with a unique mobile device data capturing solution embedded into AOpen's digital engines or downloadable into other compatible digital engines /media players.

AOpen, a licensed OEM for iSIGN embedded software, will be selling to a number of key clients, as well as through BlueStar's POS reseller channels in the Americas. AOpen's digital engines are sold globally and the BlueStar relationship will drive increased sales with the embedded iSIGN interactive software.

The iSIGN IMS software will consist of three different solutions, Premium, Deluxe and Ultimate that range in price from $75 to $320 per month at the end-user level, making location-based interactive proximity advertising to mobile devices measurable, accountable, flexible and affordable.
