Contested proposed deletion. Unambiguous advertising for a software development firm for visual communication applications, commonly referred to as digital signage: for a non-notable business. References provided refer to press release style stories announcing new product versions; and to inclusions in various Top 5000, 500, 100 lists; none of those references establish genuine notability, much less a significant effect on history, technology, or culture. The article contains an entirely unreferenced but quite elaborate company history, suggesting that this article was originated by an insider at the business. Yet another tech firm advertising on Wikipedia. Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 17:28, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

 * The company’s driving idea was to expand the concept of digital signage so that anything with a screen could become a display for messaging.

 * Weak delete. This article looks like written by a PR person/department/firm. Who else would know that this company ranked 2,763 out of 5000? Their Wikipedia article lists a large number of sources as External Links. I have checked a few of those, and they only mention this company briefly. If someone can point out some significant independent coverage among all that, I'll change my vote; I've watchlisted this discussion. FuFoFuEd (talk) 03:48, 27 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - There's press releases. Lots of press releases.  But I am unable to find significant coverage in reliable sources.  -- Whpq (talk) 16:32, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
