Sony Professional Displays & Solutions has partnered with Xibo, a leading provider of open source digital signage software solutions. The partnership combines Sony’s Cloud API and Zero-Touch Provisioning with Xibo’s software solution to make it quick and easy for businesses to deploy, scale, and manage their entire signage network remotely.
The first deployments globally of the joint solution between the two companies will start soon in the UK with Sony BRAVIA Professional Displays and the Xibo CMS
Traditionally, digital signage and interactive display networks have been costly and challenging to manage without the right technical expertise, particularly when the network starts to scale. The Sony-Xibo partnership is designed to solve this problem.
Sony says the integration with Xibo lets non-technical users deploy, scale, and manage their displays and signage remotely from the Xibo CMS. This eliminates the need for tools such as remote controller operations and USB sticks, dramatically reducing the effort and cost of system integration.
Thorsten Prsybyl, European retail sales manager at Sony Professional Displays & Solutions, said: “With the industry’s growing focus on remote scaling and management, we’re thrilled to expand our partnership with Xibo. Our new features integrate perfectly with Xibo’s CMS, offering clients unprecedented control over their signage networks. It’s another step towards the standards our clients have come to expect.”
Dan Garner, director of engineering at Xibo, added: “Xibo is excited to be the first digital signage partner to integrate Sony’s Cloud API & Zero-touch Provisioning globally. We already had significant demand for these services, so the timing was perfect. We’re delighted to deepen our partnership with Sony and provide our customers with the exact solution they’ve been asking for.”
