Lyndhurst, NJ, June 10, 2014 Emergencies of all types can happen anywhere and at any time.

February 26, 2013; South Hackensack, NJ – X-Factor Communications, LLC (“X-Factor”), the wholly owned subsidiary of X-Factor Communications Holdings, Inc. (OTC: XFCH), a premium provider of interactive digital media network software and services over its dmcp:// Digital Media Control Platform, announced today that it has expanded its platform capabilities, including the addition of HTML5 enabling publishing and broadcasting to multiple IP endpoint types, including digital signs, kiosks, desktops, tablets, SharePoint, intranet sites, telephones and mobile devices.

Based on extensive research and development, following months of discussion with customers and partners, X-Factor has added features and functionalitymaking it possible to easily deliver interactive content, more sophisticated and flexible templates, more automatic integration with a variety of messaging systems and social networks, and more powerful alerts. DSCP:// Digital Screen Control Portal Release 4.0 enhancements include:

Why It Matters:

• X-Factor is an innovation leader in the digital media broadcasting, publishing and communications industries, enabling it to deploy these technologies to bring more value to companies wishing to deliver greater experiences to IP end-points.
• As an early adopter of the new, more open industry standards, X-Factor is an even more flexible and highly “interoperable” partner which it believes will result in co-development opportunities through “embedding” X-Factor’s capabilities with other solutions.
• The Company believes Release 4.0 will provide more compelling experiences for end-users while also making the administration of the platform easier for publishers, simpler for IT support teams in large enterprises, and more efficient for X-Factor’s development and support teams.

X-Factor has already been developing solutions which include combining unified communications for all fixed and mobile devices with content delivery and interactive user experiences. Some of these initial solutions are being demonstrated at Mobile World Congress 2013 conference in Barcelona this week.

“Working with X-Factor’s team, alongside another development partner, GENBAND has been able to create a completely unique solution that combines the ability for end-users to receive information, notifications, alerts, as well as make and receive phone calls, host video conferences and more,” said Patrick Gilbert, VP and Director of GENBAND’s Innovation Exchange. “X-Factor’s leadership in HTML5 and RCS made it possible to combine different types of communications experiences, and then share those experiences on both iOS and Android devices, with a consistently high quality user feel.”

“With a solid lead in deploying these two sets of open standards – HTML5 more for visual and video communications, and RCS for voice and other personal messaging communications – X-Factor is one of the first companies to be able to develop and deliver the next generation of highly interactive, high-definition, and deeply unified user experiences,” said Charles Saracino, CEO of X-Factor.

HTML5 is the cornerstone of the Open Web Platform, a full programming environment for cross-platform applications with access to device capabilities; video and animations; graphics; style, typography, and other tools for digital publishing; extensive network capabilities; and more,” as defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), an international standards body where Member organizations, a full-time staff, and the public work together to develop Web standards. W3C primarily pursues its mission through the creation of Web standards and guidelines designed to ensure long-term growth for the Web (http://www.w3.org/). Over 375 organizations are Members of the Consortium, which is jointly run by the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (MIT CSAIL) in the USA, the European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics (ERCIM) headquartered in France and Keio University in Japan.

RCS is a service upgrade that marks the transition of messaging and voice capabilities from Circuit Switched technology to an all-IP world. RCS and Voice over Long Term Evolution (VoLTE) share the same IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) investment. For consumers, it has the potential to combine voice and SMS with instant messaging or chat, live video sharing and file transfer across all devices and networks, via mobile address books.

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.”

Earlier this mouth, X-Factor also announced the availability of two new solutions, C4 and MACC.

X-Factor’s exclusive C4 “Corporate Communications Control Center” is an easy to use software-based solution for multi-media, multi-channel and multi-dimensional internal and external corporate communications.

Content distributed over C4 is optimized for all end-points, whether large lobby displays, interactive kiosks including wayfinding capabilities, or mobile tablets and smart phones.

X-Factor’s new MACC “Marketing and Advertising Control Center” builds upon over five years of experience developing, implementing and managing multimedia “immersive” digital media networks.

MACC makes it easier than ever to participate in the rapidly growing Digital-Out-Of-Home marketing trend and enables marketers and their agency partners to:

• Deliver targeted advertising
• Provide product information and spur cross-selling and up-selling

Displays can deliver messaging that is customized by geography, time of day, specific location and more in real-time, and data collected informs the real-time grooming of campaigns to ensure the highest conversion rates and ROI.
