Omnivex Corp. announced this week that City Index, an international trading company has deployed Omnivex software to manage a network of screens throughout its London Finsbury Circus offices in the United Kingdom.
The installation includes screens on the trading floor, throughout the office space and a uniquely configured grouping of screens in the reception area. The system was implemented by Omnivex partner, UK based Asysco. The intention of the installation was to provide visitors with a visually impactful display of the latest stock information in real time.
"The newly-renovated building presented us with a blank canvas," explained Nick Morwood, Project Manager at Asysco. "The idea was to create a high impact display at the entrance to the building and we've certainly achieved this with the distinctive layout. The reception space was better suited to a vertical design so we tailored the content for the plasma screens to fit the layout and display eye-catching graphics and branding."
The unique configuration at the reception area consists of a video wall made up of eight bezel-less screens, in a vertical "Z" pattern. Using Omnivex software, City Index has the ability to display content across the eight screens as one unified design, or to address each screen separately. The Omnivex software also automates the process of incorporating live stock data and spread betting training schedules, by pulling information from an RSS feed, formatting it and pushing it out to the correct screens in the office. All of the content is managed by City Index's in-house IT team.
The digital signage system is also featured in City Index's contemporary suite of conference and meeting rooms, office and breakout areas, and their operations pod. A dramatic array of displays lines the trading floor to stream real time global stock exchange data and television feeds.
"Omnivex has a strong foundation in the financial industry, where our software was used on trading floors to display real-time information when and where it was needed for it to be actionable," said Jeff Collard, president of Omnivex.
Omnivex digital signage software enables organizations to collect, present, and share information in real-time, on any screen.
