ZetaDisplay: Enters into a partnership with Fujitsu
Sweden, 2012-04-27 13:37 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
ZetaDisplay goes into a partnership with Fujitsu. ZetaDisplay and Fujitsu are
jointly offering total Digital Signage solutions for the global retail market.
ZetaDisplay is one of the leading Nordic suppliers of Digital Signage, and one
of the fastest growing technology companies in Sweden.
“Co-operation with Fujitsu is strategically important for us”, says Leif
Liljebrunn, ZetaDisplay Group Manager. “Our ambition is to lead the way in the
development of Digital Signage internationally, and set a standard for this
branch outside the Nordic countries too. Working together with Fujitsu will
enable us to improve our service to both existing and new clients in the global
market. ”
ZetaDisplay is a leader in digital communication for retailing, the financial
sector and the services branch. The company offers a media platform for Digital
Signage, which enables scheduled, directed digital presentation, film archiving
and integration with other existing IT systems in an efficient manner, where
services float in a cloud of data. Clients can quite simply and easily manage
the entire production and distribution process themselves.
This joint approach between ZetaDisplay and Fujitsu is the result of the demand
by major clients for a total partner in respect of retail solutions that are to
be applied globally.
“Now we can widen our offers, above all to the retail trade, which further
strengthens our market position,” says Lennart Mobäck, responsible for sales at
Fujitsu. “ZetaDisplay shows wide competence within both technology and
behavioural science, along with extensive knowledge concerning shop design.
This co-operation is fundamental to continuing to increase our presence both in
the Nordic countries and in other markets.”
The partnership between ZetaDisplay and Fujitsu comes into force immediately.
Fujitsu is the leading Japanese company for IT and communication solutions, and
the world’s third largest company offering IT services. This collaboration is
an important part of the company’s strategy. Other Fujitsu partners include
Cisco and Microsoft. Fujitsu foresees increased growth in Digital Signage,
primarily within retailing, the banking and financial sectors and the public
sector.
Digital Signage is an area that is showing rapid growth. The market is expected
to grow by 40% in two years, and its value is estimated to become over 47,000
million Swedish kronor in 2013, according to the market analysts IMS Research.
ZetaDisplay is in an expansive phase, and in the period between 2006 and 2011
grew by 305%. As of 2011, ZetaDisplay has been listed on NASDAQ OMX First
North. Clients of ZetaDisplay include such companies as Audi, ICA, Panasonic,
Shell, Team Sportia, Volkswagen, Euromaster, Sparbanken, OP-Bank, Sodexo,

About Digital Signage
Digital Signage is a relatively new and fast growing media channel. It involves
several different systems for placing advertising, profiling and general
information on to digital displays that can communicate sound and images,
including films. The displays in a specific installation can be continuously
updated on a separate basis so that the message can be varied in time and
space. Typical application areas are in retail stores and other public
environments such as shopping centres, hotels and airports.
