Sony Pro partners Xibo for simple signage management

Sony Pro has inked a partnership with Xibo, a provider of open source digital signage software solutions. The move combines Sony’s Cloud API and Zero-Touch Provisioning with Xibo’s software solution. The idea is to simplify the way businesses deploy, scale, and manage their signage network remotely.

Traditionally, digital signage and interactive display networks have been costly and challenging to manage without the right technical expertise, particularly when the network starts to scale. The Sony-Xibo partnership sets out to solve this.

The integration with Xibo lets non-technical users deploy, scale, and manage their displays and signage remotely from the Xibo CMS. This eliminates the need for tools such as remote controller operations and USB sticks, reducing the effort and cost of system integration.

“With the industry’s growing focus on remote scaling and management, we’re thrilled to expand our partnership with Xibo,” said Thorsten Prsybyl, European Retail Sales Manager at Sony Professional Displays & Solutions. “Our new features integrate perfectly with Xibo’s CMS, offering clients unprecedented control over their signage networks. It’s another step towards the standards our clients have come to expect.”
“Xibo is excited to be the first digital signage partner to integrate Sony’s Cloud API and Zero-touch Provisioning globally,” added Dan Garner, Director of Engineering at Xibo.

“We already had significant demand for these services, so the timing was perfect. We’re delighted to deepen our partnership with Sony and provide our customers with the exact solution they’ve been asking for.”
