The Anatomy of a Digital Signage Software Service (SaaS)
Mar 8th
For those of you who are technically inclined you might be interested to know a little about how SignSwift works so we put together the attached block diagram. As you can see from the diagram: behind the scenes here at SignSwift, LLC there are a lot of moving parts that come together to bring you the high quality rendered images and text that you need for your digital signs. You’ll also note the use of Amazon’s highly reliable S3 storage system – any images you upload to SignSwift are stored here, securely and reliably.
Digital Signage Example: Floating screen with product feature information

Digital Signage Display for Whirlpool Washing Machines in Lowes
I came across this digital sign in Lowes today for Whirlpool washing machines. It had an interesting floating mount that put the display right above the washing machine itself. It was running a video loop but also had a touch screen interface allowing users to pick features and explore them in more detail.

As digital signage becomes ever more prevalent in major chains like this there will naturally be a trickle down to smaller stores and that’s what we are focused on here at SignSwift – bringing the same benefits that the major brands are enjoying with their digital signage projects and making the process easy and fun so that any small business can create, operate and maintain their own in-store digital signage display.
We cut over to the new rendering engine today
Feb 22nd
As part of our process of continuous improvement here at SignSwift we deployed a new rendering engine today. It’s based on Microsoft’s Message Queue software and will allow us to render more digital signage slides simultaneously and to expand across more servers as needed to scale up.
Welcome to our new blog, now running under WordPress

We made the switch today and moved our blog over to WordPress, so it’s now running on our own site.
Data Center Upgrade Complete
Jan 24th
We are now hosted at our new data center, the switch over went well with less than 5 minutes of downtime as we completed the move of the database and all other settings. Thanks to our reliable Amazon S3 backed storage system we can switch new servers on and off easily and all your data is protected.
Data Center Upgrades Coming Soon
Dec 30th
In the new year we’ll be moving to a new data center in Issaquah, WA. We’ll be upgrading both our servers and our connection to the internet. Sometime in January we will cut over to the new data center and you’ll find SignSwift faster than ever before. The switch will likely happen late one night so we don’t expect any downtime during working hours.
We look forward to serving all your digital signage needs from our new data center.
Happy New Year!
Digital Signage Goes Spherical?
Nov 26th
Displays like this would be awesome for digital signage and kiosks. Imagine being able to mount a single display that can be seen from all sides:

Digital Signage Continues to have robust growth
Nov 19th
A new report out from PQ Media confirms that digital out-of-home (DOOH) media is among the fastest growing media in the world and will continue an upward track in 2010.
“Amid a sharp downturn in global advertising spending and a decline in traditional out-of-home advertising in 2009, digital out-of-home media is among the fastest growing media in the world and will continue on an upward track in 2010, according to a new forecast from PQ Media, the leading provider of media econometrics.”
