You may well ask what a digital signage and IPTV company is doing blogging about Steve Jobs. Well, we like technology (being a technology company) and we like Apple (Macs all the way here), so it felt fitting to comment on an historic day in the annals of one of the world’s most well-known companies. Plus their products all have a key attribute which is close to our hearts (more on this in a bit).
DMP will exhibit at the Techmesh Expo 2011 at the Royal Armouries in Leeds on the 13th October.
DMP is celebrating the successful launch of an innovation which will offer a much-needed boost to the lacklustre British high street.
DMP will be exhibiting at the NEC Solutions Showcase on Wednesday 6th April at Battersea Power Station.
DMP’s innovative content management system (CMS) has enjoyed a New Year upgrade, thanks to our clever developers. The facility, which is hosted using the latest cloud technology and requires no hardware or software, can now be controlled by smart phone. With the ability to amend signage from anywhere in the world at the touch of a button, clients can target locations, customers and employees in a matter of seconds. For example, if it is raining outside and you have a shop that sells umbrellas, you can select which screens to update and display the message: “It’s raining outside! Umbrellas – half price, aisle 5”, straight from your phone. In this tough climate a marketing solution as effective as this is worth its weight in gold.

With major updates and new products being released at DMP, we thought it was time to revamp our website. The problem was our old site didn’t reflect how good our products really are, so our new focus is to give you as much information as possible to help you make your decision.
