LG Selects BroadSign as SaaS Provider

LG Electronics USA has selected BroadSign Intl. as the software provider for SuperSign Premier-s, its newest, digital-signage solution.
The alliance with the digital-signage SaaS provider is designed to make it easier for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to deploy and manage digital-signage networks and is expected to further enhance LG’s hardware and solution position, the company said.
LG’s SuperSign Premier provides content offerings that SMBs can use out of the box, with a user interface (UI) based on BroadSign’s core SaaS technology and a customized LG UI specifically designed for SMBs deploying networks of 25 players or less.
The hardware package comprises an LG flat-panel display (model M4214C) and the LG NC2000 media player, which provides access to content-management software, and starter templates, as well as news and weather feeds. SuperSign Premier also is supported by 48-hour onsite hardware swap, technical support and monthly financing.
SuperSign Premier is supported by key content provider partners, led by CNN. LG is also teaming with iStockphoto, which offers royalty-free photos, illustrations, video, audio and Flash files.
SuperSign Premier also offers direct access to LG’s Certified Content Providers (CCP) that offer custom, content-creation services optimized for the SuperSign Premier system. Initial LG CCP providers include Aspect Productions, Alchemy, Blue Pony and Saddle Ranch Productions.
SuperSign Premier is available at select major distributors. Supplementary features to further enhance SuperSign Premier are expected in the coming months.
