INTERACTIVE TO PROVIDE LIVE AIRLINE FLIGHT INFORMATION
-
Partnership powers potential new service offerings, adds vital travel
information
CHICAGO, IL – May 27,2008 -
Flyte Systems, the leading provider of airport travel information displays
and digital signage content for the hospitality industry, digital signage,
convention centers and related businesses, announced it has entered into an
agreement with Four Winds Interactive, LLC of Denver, CO to integrate its
real-time airline flight information software solution with Four Winds
Interactive's digital signage software. The Four Winds Interactive
software platform is an easy to use digital signage system that enables
users to flexibly customize content to meet their individual needs. The
software leverages familiar Microsoft programs and integrates with multiple
live data types, giving the system a unique competitive advantage. Flyte
Systems' partnership with Four Winds enables the companies to further
increase the capabilities of the popular live data feature in the Four
Winds software platform.
"Four Winds is a leader in the digital signage field and has consistently
recognized that being first-to-market with new additional content and
information that is valuable to the consumer creates an enhanced
experience that drives sales,"
said Brian Reynolds, president of Flyte Systems.
"Delivering flight information to its clients will definitely add value
to Four Winds Interactive's product package, be it for hotels, convention
centers, casinos or other industries."
Powering Powerful Products
According to Four Winds President David Levin, adding flight status
information enhances his company's product offering.
"Our software has a powerful capability to integrate with multiple live
data sources and automatically output the information to the screen.
This enables our customers to display real-time travel information for
their guests which increases our competitive advantage, and also enhances
the guest experience at properties utilizing the software for their
digital signage networks."
Four Winds is currently rolling out the Flyte product at the Renaissance
Denver Hotel and the Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center. At
the Hyatt Regency, four 40-inch LCDs and 20 15-inch meeting room signs will
display live flight information. Levin said,
"Partnering with Flyte was a logical choice for us. We are always
working to align ourselves with companies that add value to our software
and keep us true to our core objectives. The Flyte product easily
integrates with our software and offers useful information that
automatically updates itself, keeping our clients' digital signage
networks accurate, fresh and compelling for their visitors and guests."
