PPDS (formerly known as Philips Professional Displays and Solutions) has started the new year with announcements for a major overhaul of its Wave CMS software, the launch of a line of sustainability-focused displays, and the launch of an entirely new display category capable of displaying content without power, according to a press release.
The company said it will release details of the power-free display at the official unveiling later this January, while the software overhaul includes a focus on integrator support along with remote device monitoring, device management and content scheduling.
In a separate press release, PPDS explained its goals in the rebranding. "Our new strategic direction is focused on total solutions, global presence and sustainability," "Chris Colpaert, general manager for EMEA, AP and NA at PPDS, said in the release, explaining the initiative. "And this important strategic evolution is the right moment to give our organization a new identity — PPDS. With a strong financial position and firm foundations as a part of TPV – the world's largest manufacturer of monitors and a leading provider of display solutions — our ongoing investment in our people and our manufacturing facilities, as well as the proven quality delivered by our Philips-branded professional displays, this is the next bright step for our organization."
