Consolidation continues in the Scandinavian digital signage ecosystem, with news overnight that ZetaDisplay has acquired Norwegian solutions provider Webpro in a cash deal worth NOK 21 million, which is about $2.5 million USD. The deal also has performance-based supplemental payments. […]
I have seen tweets, Linkedin posts and even news coverage from people who need to invest a little more time thinking (than they do copying and pasting) about a report out in the last few days about top-rated digital signage software platforms.
