"Unirea stores are keen to advertise their products, and in-mall advertising is probably the best way to reach customers in a targeted way. Digital signage is a win-win, as it helps our tenants grow their sales, whilst it has great potential to generate advertising revenue for the mall. It's a good example of how we can use the latest technologies to differentiate our offering and to maintain our position as the best mall in the country."
- Alexandru Zamfir, executive director, Information Technology & Communications Division, Probitas
"The Cisco Digital Signs solution at Unirea is the first implementation of this particular Cisco technology in Romania, and Probitas is proud to be the partner who accomplished this important step. The solution is based on IP and runs over the existing LAN. It is very flexible and easy to manage, and it provides the foundation on which we can build new high-quality multimedia capabilities."
