 * Delete. Yet another global digital signage solutions provider and manufacturer advertising on Wikipedia.  Referenced only to PR stories in trade magazines. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:34, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

This is a digital signage company that was around before the birth of digital signage and continues to maintain a strong presence in the market despite the economy. They work with such well-known names as Aramark, Marriott, Delaware North, Hilton, Holiday Inn, and many, many more and have been a resource to such names as Lyle Bunn, a well-establish speaker and consultant in the digital signage field. Although they are not publicly traded they have managed to continue to turn a profit despite the closure of many digital signage solutions manufacturers and providers. They don't just resell other brands they are a brand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Judymaedandelion (talk • contribs) 17:24, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment That's a wonderful marketing speech. Judy Hoffman, Noventri's Marketing Manager, would be proud of it.  However, it still doesn't show how Noventri meets Wikipedia's guidelines for inclusion for companies.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 17:56, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete: Obviously fails WP:CORP, and for Ms. Hoffman's benefit, I recommend she take a peek at WP:NOTINHERITED as well. I note that the corporation of which the subject is ostensibly a division lacks a Wikipedia article, and likely in its own right fails WP:CORP.   ῲ Ravenswing ῴ  18:15, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment For clarity, I should point out that there is no clear evidence to indicate that is the aforementioned Judy Hoffman and any attempts to make such a connection would be WP:OUTING.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:31, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

I have dealt with both Specialized Communications and Noventri in the past. very reputable company. Interestingly, SpecComm is the only authorized Panasonic repair center in the US outside of Panasonic itself. They provide service and sales to all the major broadcast companies throughout the US. Don't know a whole lot about their digital signage division except that I have seen their screens in such places as The Newseum and the Baltimore Orioles Camden Yards.Bobcat001 (talk) 13:08, 29 June 2011 (UTC) — Bobcat001 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. All I know is that I see their name all over DVXUser.com, Creative Cow and DVInfo.com. They are like the go to guys for video gear and tech questions.Bobcat001 (talk) 22:05, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment: To quote from WP:CORP: "A company, corporation, organization, school, team, religion, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in secondary sources. Such sources must be reliable, and independent of the subject. A single independent source is almost never sufficient for demonstrating the notability of an organization."  Would you care to identify any such significant sources which satisfies the requirements of WP:IRS?   ῲ Ravenswing ῴ  14:25, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
