EnQii Adds Most Powerful Version of Flash
May 28, 2008
The most powerful version of Flash to date delivers
unprecedented content performance and flexibility
New York — EnQii, a global leader and innovator in the digital signage out-of-home market, has incorporated Adobe’s FL3, a powerful tool for animated content creation and playback, for use with its digital signage players.
With the support of FL3, EnQii continues to deliver across the “new media triad” of digital signage, mobile devices and the web, thus enabling its clients to raise the value to their digital out-of-home networks.
Jeffrey Leder, President of the Casino Channel Network and an EnQii customer, says “This offers us significant benefits as we exploit a much broader value proposition for both the casino-hotel owners and our advertisers. It’s now much easier to create content for our digital signage networks and also use it for mobile and web-based platforms in order to support integrated marketing campaigns.”
Michael Willems, EnQii’s Chief Technology Officer, adds that licensing FL3 for use with its digital signage players has many benefits. “Advanced scaling and image optimization technology reduces the memory footprint of Flash files by 50% making it faster, more reliable and is more in tune with digital signage requirements,” said Willems.
Specifically, Willems says that by licensing FL3, EnQii Flash media files flow natively from our RemoteTransfer solution, which enhances performance. He cites the example of content such as animated text is even sharper and animates more smoothly across the screen. As Willems puts it, “this puts RemoteTransfer and our clients ahead of field in this important area.”
In addition, the FL3 capability unlocks EnQii’s partnership with LocaModa, a mobile platform provider that enables consumers to interact with digital signage with their cell phones. “FL3 provides the interface between cell phones and digital signage, opening up a world of interactive opportunities,” Willems said.

James Abdool, EnQii’s new EMEA President
December 17, 2007
The difference between good companies and great companies is very often their people. If Microsoft and Google for example, see a great interview candidate or know of an exceptional talent that comes on the market they grab them with both hands - even sometimes if they don’t know what role (yet) that person will play for them in the organisation.
The key is to grab and retain the best people possible (sometimes also not to let good people go to your competition of course) and so it is with EnQii’s appointment of a new EMEA President.
A few weeks ago we were the first to announce that James Abdool was to join EnQii - we now have the official press release as below…
EnQii strengthens senior team with appointment of new EMEA President
EnQii, the leading provider of digital out-of-home solutions has announced that James Abdool will be joining the company as President EMEA. James joins EnQii after completing the sale of digital out-of-home audio business TSC Music Systems.
This new appointment follows the recent launch of EnQii’s complete digital-out-of-home offering. Backed by $10 million equity funding, EnQii offers clients a full range of services from strategic development, technology design and deployment, content creation and delivery, together with ongoing performance measurement and reporting.
As President EMEA, James will be responsible for the company’s continued growth and expansion, working with EnQii’s EMEA client base on digital marketing strategies, and leading sales and marketing activity.
At TSC Music Systems, James worked with clients in the retail, leisure and hospitality markets to extend their in-store marketing solutions and drive sales through added-value models. He also managed the company’s global expansion, achieving rollouts in 17 countries within 2 years. As well as driving sales and marketing activity, James was involved in software development, licensing arrangements and most recently he managed the company sale process to an industry Plc.
“This is significant time for the digital out-of-home media industry, and EnQii’s complete offering stands out in a fast-growing and crowded market” commented James Abdool. “I’m delighted to be joining a company with market-leading credentials, and look forward to working with the teams across EMEA to drive future growth and development.”
The press release doesn’t really tell the whole story though (how could it?) - James built up a very successful retail music business and sold it to Imagesound for cash.
The success of TSC Music Systems was very much down to James - whilst Imagesound bought the company for its monthly music revenues and its customer base it was foolish to let such good management talent that came with the acquisition go to waste.
Bottom line; Imagesound’s loss is EnQii’s gain.
EnQii have been recruiting heavily these past few months and a lot of talent is moving into their organisation (Brian Boakes, previously at BT Broadcast Services and now Head of Strategy at EnQii is one of these folks but he would be too modest to say so AND there are a couple of other prominent recruits that I will be reporting on in the New Year).
EnQii teams up with CustomWeather to deliver leading edge flash-based weather services.
October 7, 2007
EnQii, the world leader in the deployment of Digital Out-Of-Home media solutions, today announced that it has signed a service agreement with CustomWeather for the
supply of weather feeds to support the launch of its flash-based integrated weather service to EnQii’s global customers.
