SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - September 19, 2007) - Just one year after introducing the Cisco
Digital Media System (DMS) as a new emerging technology, Cisco (NASDAQ : CSCO ) has signed its 200th customer for the integrated digital signage and
desktop video system and introduced version 4.1, which provides new
features that give even greater flexibility for end users and content
managers.
Cisco announced that Accent Jobs For People, an employment and recruiting
agency, is Cisco's 200th DMS customer. The rapidly growing Belgian-based
company is using Cisco Digital Signage to communicate in real time in a
dynamic and user-friendly way with employees, job candidates and clients
across 70 of its offices in Belgium, the Netherlands and France.
"This is a major milestone for Cisco and for the industry as a whole," said
Thomas Wyatt, general manager of Cisco's digital media systems business
unit. "Video use in business is accelerating rapidly and customers are
looking for comprehensive, easy-to-use solutions like DMS. Our customers
are using digital media to transform their businesses by creating new
revenue streams, delivering more effective communications and lowering
operating expenses."
Cisco DMS is a comprehensive solution for the creation, management and
access of compelling digital media for digital signage and desktop video.
With the Cisco Digital Media System, customers can easily connect and reach
their customers, employees, partners, or students anywhere and at any time.
The newest version of the Cisco Digital Media System, 4.1, gives customers
flexibility to create customized digital signage screen layouts and provide
flexible options for playback. For desktop video, Cisco DMS 4.1 includes
slide synchronization for live broadcasts and video-on-demand (VoD)
sessions and the ability to manage audience questions during live events.
Cisco is seeing growing momentum in digital media across the globe in all
vertical industries, including financial services, retail, healthcare,
sports and entertainment, government and education. Cisco has recently
announced other new customers using DMS for a variety of applications. Norsk Tipping, the Norwegian
