Software company Corel today released Corel Digital Signage, its new digital display solution for small businesses. Powered by SmarterSign digital signage software, the program is intended to help businesses create and display compelling content in a matter of minutes, the company said.

"We are very excited to be launching Corel Digital Signage," said Gérard Métrailler, vice president of product management for CorelDRAW, in the announcement. "Digital signage is a fantastic way to promote your business locally. We can now give small businesses access to the same technology that larger businesses have, in a simple, do-it-yourself way that delivers professional results at a very low cost. Corel Digital Signage gives these small businesses the ability to get up and running with digital signage in no time."

Corel Digital Signage contains a variety of Web-based features intended to allow users to quickly create and display personalized, relevant and up-to-date information on a TV screen, the company said. It includes hundreds of customizable, professionally designed templates, and a simple drag-and-drop workflow that "lets anyone create impressive digital signage in minutes."

Once users are happy with their results, it only takes one click to get the digital sign live: Just connect a computer with Windows 7 or 8 to a TV screen, and the content will display, the company said.

Corel Digital Signage is offered with a 15-day trial period and is available in North America for $29.95 per month. For more information and to access to the Web service, visit www.coreldraw.com/us/product/digital-signage/.
