Blog reports on an Indian company that is marketing a free on-demand Saas / ASP digital signage software. The client can be installed on either Windows or Linux systems while the manager and designer side is a Windows-only application. It seems like the firm will make their money by offering enhanced features related to interactivity, scheduling, integration of data and other customizations and content for your network.

Tried the software out but, in its free version, it isn't really a digital signage software. The "players" aren't independent applications--its just the browser of your choice displaying a url. Therefore, you really don't have any control of the remote units or monitoring. Perhaps the paid versions are closer to a true digital signage software.
Another Indian company is pushing a SaaS digital signage product: http://www.truknox.com
They're pushing that it takes advantage of features in Vista. It also has a designer element (not unlike Scala) that leaves me with a lukewarm feeling. In many cases it seems unreasonable that a large company would start designing in this new, foreign product instead of having their contracted design or marketing firms produce more professional campaigns using the industry's standard tools. I'm also wondering if that designer has anything to do with Microsoft's SilverLight...

I will be trying the software out and posting my thoughts or a review of the product. If anyone else is trying it or has tried it, please comment.
