Maverick – the AV division of Tech Data Group – confirms new partnership with Signagelive

Signagelive, digital signage software specialists, confirms new partnership with Maverick, the AV division of multi-national technology distribution company, Tech Data Group. Maverick will be using Signagelive’s cloud-based digital signage applications, including new plug-and-play offerings developed for Samsung’s Smart Signage Platform and Intel NUC, to create all inclusive packages for its channel partner and reseller network across Europe.

Signagelive will be demonstrating its commitment to this new pan European relationship by presenting its digital signage software at a formal event, hosted by Tech Data Corporation, in Barcelona on the 30th September.

Maverick is the specialist audiovisual division of Tech Data and part of Tech Data Group. Tech Data Corporation (NASDAQ GS: TECD) and a Fortune 500 company, is one of the world’s largest distributors of technology products from leading IT hardware and software producers. The company serves more than 125,000 IT solution providers in over 100 countries. Every day, these resellers depend on Tech Data to cost-effectively support the technology needs of end users, including small and medium businesses (SMB), large enterprises and government agencies.

Signagelive is the only company to date that has developed a commercial offering (comprising a library of plug-and-play applications for different verticals) for Samsung’s Smart Signage Platform. As such, Samsung’s new display suite has been configured to support Signagelive software as standard.

No technical expertise is required and digital signage technology users can seamlessly integrate the company’s software with their existing offerings to run dynamic, engaging campaigns at the push of a button. Interactive content can be managed and updated centrally, locally or remotely via different devices including Smartphones, Tablets, or screen remotes.

Targeted information, such as seasonal promotions or nutritional facts, can be quickly displayed on different screen sizes, depending on business type, location or target audience. Furthermore content can be scheduled to dynamically update, depending on factors such as time of day and/or updates to external data sources.

Signagelive’s core management software is written in HTML5, the new standard for cross-platform online applications. It provides full support for different content formats including rolling images, nested playlists, video streaming, IPTV, third-party party websites and Media RSS feeds. It also comprises innovative features such as drag and drop functionality, QR code support and management integration for widgets such as Twitter or Yahoo Finance.

Says Roy Martin Director of Sales EMEA, Signagelive; “This new partnership offers exciting opportunities for Signagelive across Europe because it gives us widespread exposure to mainstream IT resellers. Our award-winning software, our pricing model and our newly developed plug-and-play applications enables resellers to create attractive, all-inclusive digital signage packages for end-users. ”

Says Jon Sidwick, European Director, Maverick/Tech Data; “We are extremely pleased to launch Signagelive as our Pan European Signage platform supplier. Their world class solution combined with strong support is ideal for Maverick’s solution based digital signage approach and also compliments our strong relationship with the leading hardware suppliers. As Europe’s largest AV distributor it is essential that we only select robust solutions that have the ability to scale across all territories and which cover the widest level of user requirements. Signagelive certainly delivers this and will be a key part of the Digital Signage Eco System we offer the channel.”
