The recent acquisition of AirWatch by VMware is not surprising in light of the industry’s growing mobile work force. As more enterprises invest in mobile devices and development of new software applications for their workforce, their respective IT organizations must have a way to secure and manage their employee’s mobile devices.

Traditionally, it’s been the device manufacturers that have provided the software tools to manage hardware devices. But PC and thin client manufacturers never really focused on mobile devices. And maybe it’s good for the industry that they didn’t. Because they probably would have limited their software solution to only their hardware, just as they’ve done with thin clients. Why should a company be locked in to a single hardware manufacturer’s products simply because of a software management tool?

ViewSonic has always supported open systems, and was first to implement the Android™ OS in thin clients.

Android 2.2 first introduced support for enterprise applications by offering the Android Device Administration API. The Device Administration API provides device administration features at the system level. These APIs allow developers to create security-aware applications that are useful in enterprise settings, in which IT professionals require rich control over employee devices.

It’s these APIs that have allowed companies such as AirWatch, Good Technology, Zenprise, and others to develop mobile device management (MDM) solutions. But why can’t an IT organization use the same software tools used to manage 1,000s of mobile devices to also manage their desktop devices?

This was the objective behind the Citrix and ViewSonic partnership to integrate Citrix® Worx Home™ within ViewSonic’s new smart display, or next generation thin client. Our new smart displays provide an IT organization the level of security and manageability from Citrix that they have come to trust over the years.

It’s expected that Google will continue to expand the Device Administration API in future releases of the Android operating system. And that desktop virtualization companies will extend their MDM solutions beyond mobile devices and on to the desktop.

Open standards and cross platform solutions have proven in the past to benefit both PC industry suppliers and end-users. There’s no reason why it can’t do the same for the display virtualization industry and its end-users.

Touch technology has revolutionized the way we interact with our computing devices, and has become the user interface of choice. Everything from ATM machines, interactive ticket booths, POS devices, slot machines, and information kiosks feature a user-friendly interactive touch screen. Let’s take a look at two of the most common touch technologies in use today.



Optical Touch
Optical touch technology utilizes two or more image sensors that are usually placed around the edges of a display. These sensors allow the touch surface to recognize two contact points simultaneously, and provide users with direct interaction by allowing two-finger gestures such as zoom in/out, rotations, and two-finger taps. Because of optical touch’s scalability, versatility, and affordability, it is becoming a popular technology for use on large format displays.

The experience offered by optical touch is responsive and accurate, and does not require a conductive object for touch recognition. As such, this technology is extremely useful in gloved environments such as hospitals and dental offices, or for use with interactive stylus pens. Touch screens equipped with Dual Point Optical Touch are also versatile solutions for use in classroom settings, home entertainment and gaming, or as a Point of Sale device in retail stores, and even as an information kiosk.

Projected Capacitive Touch
Projected Capacitive is one of the leading touch technologies available and is widely utilized by mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets. Projected capacitive touch screens feature a grid pattern of conductive materials layered within multiple sheets of glass. The conductive grid creates an electrostatic field, so when the screen is touched by a conductive object (i.e. a finger), the touch is recorded by measuring the overall change in capacitance.

Projected Capacitive Touch is a true multi-touch technology, allowing for 3 or more simultaneous touch points on the screen. With the system’s ability to detect and resolve 10 or more touches at the same time, the accuracy and touch experience is dramatically improved for the user. Because of its speed, efficiency, and intuitiveness, Projected Capacitive Touch is becoming the technology of choice for current generation touch screens and interactive displays. It is more expensive due to the complex electronics and sensor construction and since it requires input from a conductive device, such as a finger, it is not suited for environments with gloved hands.

Touch screens equipped with capacitive touch are best utilized for multi-user applications such as gaming, or interactive whiteboards for use in educational settings. In addition, capacitive touch screens are an ideal solution for businesses seeking the ultimate in interactive displays and digital signage. Capacitive touch displays can be used to attract and engage customers in high-traffic areas such as high-end retail centers, transportation hubs, and hotel lobbies.

Conclusion
Optical Touch technology is scalable, versatile, and affordable, and best utilized for single-user applications such as POS devices, desktop displays, or for use within the gloved environments of the medical and dental fields.

Projected Capacitive Touch technology is an ideal choice for multi-user applications where interactivity and collaboration are needed, such as in classrooms. Additionally, Projected Capacitive touch can be of benefit to commercial applications as well such as interactive digital signage.

With 25 years of expertise as a leader and innovator of display technology, ViewSonic has a complete line of interactive and ergonomic touch displays to meet any need. ViewSonic’s TD20 series of touch displays feature super accurate and responsive Dual Point Optical Touch technology. ViewSonic’s TD40 series of touch displays are all Windows® 8 certified and feature 10-Point Capacitive touch technology. All of the TD20 and TD40 touch displays feature a 7H scratch-resistant surface hardness to ensure a consistent, high-quality touch experience even in high-traffic areas.

Projector technology has evolved, now delivering better picture quality and expanded connection options. In addition to the traditional, wired (VGA/DVI/HDMI) connections, content may now be displayed from a thumb drive and wireless connections. Recent technology advancements have made wireless connectivity much simpler and powerful. A projector is a necessity of every business professional when presenting in the office or on the road. So don’t spend the first few minutes of your meeting locating and connecting the cables, jostling loose connections, or checking for bent pins. Instead, be presentation-ready with a wireless projector.

 

There are many benefits to using a wireless projector, which include:

• Presenters are no longer confined to a small area next to the projector. They now have the freedom to sit anywhere in the room, usually within 30 feet of the projector (line-of-sight is required to maintain the quality of the signal).


• The projector may be shared with multiple computers in the room, promoting team collaboration.


• By wirelessly connecting a presenter’s mobile device to the projector, he/she can walk about the room with his/her device to interact and engage with the audience.


• Presenters don’t need to bring along their connection cables while they travel.

Some factors businesses need to consider when using a wireless projector include:

 

• The wireless bandwidth required for video streaming presentation.


• The WiFi signal range necessary for a large-sized room.


• The wireless connectivity stability that can impact the image quality.

When all these aspects are verified, wireless projectors can deliver great conveniences for businesses, especially for mobile presenters.

 

Is your business ready to take advantage of the benefits wireless projectors have to offer? What other wireless solutions do you use in your business operation? Tell us on the blog.

The desktop display is poised for an amazing evolution as we shift towards the Post-PC era. Virtualization, software-as-a-service (SaaS), cloud-based storage and mobile applications are all becoming predominant in today’s business world as we migrate away from the traditional desktop of yesterday. The enterprise is looking to these zero/thin client solutions to reduce business operating costs, improve productivity and instantly connect to the cloud, the Internet, virtualized environments, web-based apps (such as CRM tools, multimedia presentations or digital dictation solutions), social networks and more.

 

According to a Gartner forecast, global shipments of thin clients are expected to nearly double between 2011 and 2014, while spending on SaaS products is projected to grow more than 50 percent by 2015. Thin client applications can be found in government, call centers, medical offices, schools, airline ticketing and manufacturing plants to enable centrally-managed scalable solutions while lowering Total Cost of Ownership (“TCO”).

 



While zero and thin clients can be cost-effective alternatives to traditional desktop PCs, it is important to note that these solutions are not one-size-fits-all. For instance, certain applications may still require individual desktop PCs for processor-intensive tasks. Multimedia production applications, for example, may require a greater amount of bandwidth that would make a zero/thin client solution cost prohibitive. To help business owners determine the best computing solution for their needs and the key distinctions between the zero/thin vs. traditional desktop PC (thick client), read on for a quick comparison guide from Webopedia™.

 

<emZero/Thin Clients                                               Traditional Desktop PC/Thick Client

 

Easy to deploy requiring no extra or specialized software installation	More expensive and time consuming for IT to deploy
Needs validation with the server after data capture	Data verified by client not server (immediate validation)
If the server goes down, data collection is halted as the client needs constant communication with the server	Only require intermittent communication with server, client/workstation equipped with robust technology and provides better uptime
Cannot be interfaced with other equipment (in plants or factory settings for example)	Can interface with other equipments independently
More potential downtimes	Less potential downtimes
Require less resources on workstation but more on servers	Require more resources on individual client/workstation but less on server
More portable in that All applications are on the server so any workstation can access	Not portable in that most resources are stored on individual client/workstation
Opportunity to use older, outdated PCs as clients	Individual client/workstation needs to be upgraded to newer and more advanced PC to increase performance.
Reduced security threat	Increased security issues

There is a tremendous growth opportunity in zero/thin client solutions afforded by the virtualization of servers, applications and desktops. ViewSonic recognizes this market trend and continues to develop innovative new display solutions to facilitate the cloud transition while offering support of industry standard cloud-based computing protocols including Citrix, VMWare, RDP, RemoteFX and PCoIP. Through these partnerships, any of our traditional desktop displays can be transformed into a smart connected network display and multi-client solution to support businesses and organizations in their efforts to deploy secure, scalable thin client configurations.

Is your business BYOD–phobic (ie. afraid of the implications around employees bringing their personal devices into the workplace)? We already know that BYOD increases employee satisfaction, boosts work productivity and decreases mobile device costs. We also know that IT security concerns can be addressed with security solutions available on the market. But if your organization is still reluctant to jump on the BYOD program because of the potential variable costs, read on.

Below we have highlighted strategies for businesses to reduce their spending around two key variable expense areas:



Monthly wireless/data plan bill:

• Establish a clear cost ownership and pay scale guideline for the dual-purpose mobile device base on job dependency.


• Pre-negotiate a discounted contract with a single network carrier to achieve cost savings of anywhere from 10 to 20 percent. This can also serve as a perk for employees who use BYOD on employee paid basis.

IT help desk cost:

• Say “no” to supporting and troubleshooting personal device issues that are not business related – for example, problems with non-business apps or network connectivity.


• Establish clear guidelines to determine if an IT problem is a device issue, carrier issue, or business app issue before straining IT resources.


• Allow self-service on routine activities such as policy acceptance, enrollment, adding new apps, etc.

Although BYOD programs consist of many variable costs, there are also many favorable hidden economic values that organizations should be aware of. According to Monica Basso, Research VP at information technology research firm Gartner, BYOD reinforces personal responsibility, as employees are more cost conscious when they are using their own device, including being more sparing when roaming and being less likely to lose their phone. In addition, employees are more willing to invest time to troubleshoot their personal device than to pass it on to the IT help desk, which has the potential to minimize IT help desk labor hours.

Digital signage solutions provide excellent revenue and margin opportunities for VARs who target the restaurant or QSR vertical. Nowadays, the VAR can benefit by selling signage as a total solution. This is due to the fact that there is margin opportunity in the hardware, installation, potential network configuration, service, and in some cases, content development.

The opportunity for digital signage sales has grown tremendously, and is broader than ever before. Here are just a few of the ways that your customers may be looking to implement these solutions:



Restaurants: We are especially seeing an increase in signage adoption rates by restaurant customers as prices come down and ease of use and simplicity increases. The most common restaurant application is the presentation of menu selections combined with government required nutritional information. This information can be updated in real-time with the use of simple digital signage content management solutions. In addition, promotional information can be added in the case of seasonal menu changes.

Employee training: New opportunities are becoming available with the use of network digital signage in the back office for employee training. Training content can be sent over the internet (WAN) for use by individual restaurant location. This adds benefits to the restaurant owners with lower insurance rates as well as provides the VAR another area of possible margin income.

Retail: Another growing opportunity as the prices and solutions become more affordable is retail. We are seeing smaller screen deployments as consumer information is moving closer to the display case. We have seen this at the POS cash out for some time, for example. We are also beginning to see smaller screen deployments such as 10-, 22-, and 32-inch in retail locations advertising product highlights and benefits. VARs can again benefit by targeting the retail signage vertical with a total solution that consists of screen, content management, network solutions — wired and wireless, and installation services. There are a category of VARs we call systems integrators that specialize in this kind of new business.

While these are the key areas driving today’s digital signage adoption, with the emerging array of add-on solutions (such as integrated mobile device credit card process and audience demography video analytics), the possibilities of digital signage are endless.

The face of digital signage is rapidly changing, and its advancements in technology are pushing progression right along. Have you heard the term Open Pluggable Specification (OPS)? OPS architecture ties the digital signage ecosystem together with standardized interoperable hardware interface to drive effective component design, development and simplified integration complexity for lower implementation, deployment and management costs. An initiative from Intel®, OPS is a new technology concept that emerged about a year ago.

 



The OPS architecture modularizes the development of digital signage display panels and media players, thereby minimizing the implementation time for installation and eliminating other system complexities. While this clean solution ultimately benefits the integrator and end users, so far, only a few companies have adopted OPS technology. This is likely because people are accustomed to using an external media player (or PC) to run their media content on the signage display. Until the integrators and end users become more and more familiar with the benefits of OPS and industry demand increases, we believe it will still take some time before manufacturers and display OEMs adopt this new standard. However, with a company like Intel serving as the driving force behind this technology, things look very hopeful. Intel has launched multiple scalable intelligent software applications to enhance OPS display capabilities, such as Active Management Technology (AMT), Audience Impression Metrics Suite (AIM), Anonymous Video Analytics (AVA) and Near-Field Communication (NFC).

 

Will OPS architecture adaptation become successful? Only time will tell, but we believe in the benefits it provides.
