Scala logoScala, the leading provider of end-to-end solutions for the digital signage and advertising management markets, today announced Alpha Japan has selected Scala’s award winning digital signage platform to power its ASP service named “Primix™ VISION”, primarily focused at retail customers. With 150 systems deployed and another 300 scheduled to deploy by mid-2009, Alpha Japan has demonstrated is success in the Japanese marketplace.

When Alpha Japan, a mature company founded in 1970 and specializing in total system solutions, decided to add a digital signage solution to its arsenal, there was no doubt that a long-term investment required a careful study of industry providers to satisfy the evolving needs of its fast moving and demanding retail customers. For Alpha Japan, working with high profile retail companies in Japan, it was clear that a best-of-breed solution was required to keep up with the high pace of changes coming from its traditional customer base. In addition, it also needed a solution that came with the best global support available in the digital signage industry.

Scala’s unique knowledge of the market and the ability for us to build a differentiating solution, leveraging the Scala platform, enables us to leapfrog our competition.

Thanks to Alpha Japan, we can pride ourselves in seeing our solution running whenever we go out and get a snack!
After significant evaluation, Scala’s digital signage solution won against the competition by providing the simplest, most reliable and flexible solution for small to large digital signage deployments. However, the deciding factor was the ability to deliver dynamic, high-quality content at a low cost required by Alpha Japan’s customers; Scala Designer software together with Scala Content Manager template support proved to be a most unique and decisive tool. Mr. Yamamoto, CEO of Alpha Japan commented on the partnership, “Scala’s unique knowledge of the market and the ability for us to build a differentiating solution, leveraging the Scala platform, enables us to leapfrog our competition.”

After only a few months of operations, the benefits of Scala’s digital signage solution are more apparent everyday. For example, the ability to connect to any device or to integrate with online web applications through the standard Scala Open API interface makes it easy to turn any idea into reality. Future updates to Primix™ VISION will build upon these assets to turn Primix™ VISION into a real-time and dynamic merchandizing tool.

As Scala continues to expand its success in the Japanese marketplace with Japan’s largest IT companies, Alpha Japan’s unequivocal endorsement of the Scala platform is another proof that Scala’s global leadership is expanding to serve the most demanding of its global customers in all vertical markets.

“We are very proud to welcome Alpha Japan as part of our growing roster of customers in Japan,” says Guillaume Proux, Scala Asia Vice President. “Thanks to Alpha Japan, we can pride ourselves in seeing our solution running whenever we go out and get a snack!”
