X-FACTOR BROADENS PRODUCT OFFERING, ROLLING OUT ENTERPRISE DESKTOP, MOBILE APPLICATIONS, MULTIMEDIA PLAYER AND INTERACTIVE KIOSKS
October 22, 2012; South Hackensack, NJ – X-Factor Communications, LLC (“X-Factor”), the wholly owned subsidiary of X-Factor Communications Holdings, Inc. (“XFCH”), a premium provider of interactive digital media network software and services over its dmcp:// Digital Media Control Platform, announced today it has released a number of new products which make it easier for corporations and their agencies to participate in the fast-growing digital interactive communications world.
X-Factor, which provides services and products in the areas of multimedia digital signage, interactive network development and management, and webcasting of live events, has added the following new products to its product base, as a result of requests received from its current clients and market demand:
ENTERPRISE DESKTOP
X-Factor’s Enterprise Desktop application makes it possible to distribute content to desktops, intranet sites including SharePoint and mobile devices in real-time, including notifications, promotions, emergency alerts and more. Desktop signage takes content usually available on the intranet or digital signs and delivers it to a large employee community in a way that is hard to miss. While employees typically have access to a wealth of internal corporate information, due to the demands on their time, they often do not take the time to look for information unless it is related to a topic that they are specifically interested in. X-Factor’s Enterprise Desktop enables company leaders to get key messages out, whether in screensaver mode or seeing content within the desktop player. Employees simply click for more information on any particular subject or to view a live webcast. X-Factor’s Enterprise Desktop complements existing publishing systems including Microsoft SharePoint.
MOBILE APPLICATIONS
X-Factor’s mobile interactive capabilities extend the power of digital signage to audiences’ mobile devices. Through X-Factor’s enhanced mobile engagement solutions, its mobile applications augment point of display to deliver information, marketing, ads, coupons and offers directly to an individual’s smartphone or tablet. X-Factor’s product range can be combined to support large scale “real world” and “virtual world” campaigns. For example, users can be sent to one of X-Factor’s unique digital players, optimized for their mobile device. After enjoying an entertaining experience at a media wall or other digital sign, consumers can download the player and its contents to enjoy after leaving the venue. At interactive kiosks, consumers can receive wayfinding directions through a simple SMS text, or can receive an e-ticket or coupon instantly.
MULTIMEDIA PLAYER
X-Factor has developed a multimedia player which can be easily branded and customized to aggregate content of all types (photos, animations, videos, audio files, interactive applications, and more) into a single, intuitive user experience. The player that runs automatically, without having the user download a special application, and brings multiple content feeds together in an exciting user experience. X-Factor’s digital media and creative services teams can easily and cost-efficiently design and deploy custom branded media players, and because the players are fed by X-Factor’s dmcp:// platform, all the advantages of our related products, including the company’s advertising sales monetization products dscp:// Storefront and DMAX are easily included.
INTERACTIVE KIOSKS
Working with partners who provide hardware and network infrastructure, X-Factor has released advanced interactive kiosks software, enabling audience engagement and interaction, advertising and marketing content creation, publishing, distribution and management. This software allows remote monitoring of kiosks from a single location, multi-user privileges for hierarchal (local and national) publishing, targeted advertising and transparent kiosk management and collection of user information. The company works with partners to ensure clients’ goals for their customized interactive kiosk network are met, ensuring that all the elements in the solution meet stringent guidelines – from the hardware and the kiosk interface and features to the appropriate network connectivity and uptime.
“Our R&D team has been hard at work, and we are very proud to announce this set of new capabilities today,” said Charles Saracino, Chief Executive Officer. “The world of digital interactive communications is rapidly evolving and with our solutions – which include all the benefits of software-as-a-service delivery and intuitive and powerful access through our platform and portals — make it possible for thousands of corporations and their agencies to participate in the future today.”
