"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 (http://www.flytesystems.com/FAQs.htmlcampaign=4WindsMay272008) 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 (http://www.flytesystems.com/convention.htmlcampaign=4WindsMay272008) makes its product even more powerful. "Our
software has a powerful interactive capability to deliver live data to the screens," Levin stated. "Anytime you can add valuable travel information to signage, the more you are able to
make a viewer's overall experience a little better, which also enhances the value of Four Winds' offering. We are already looking ahead to combining the flight data with weather, traffic
and shuttle information to develop highly customizable packages for our customers."
Levin noted Four Winds is currently in the process of rolling out the Flyte product at a new customer, the Renaissance Denver Airport, and a current one, the Hyatt Regency Convention
Center. Four Winds installed four 40-inch LCDs at the Hyatt with more than 20 15-inch digital displays outside each meeting room where flight information will be displayed. He explained
that one of the reasons Flyte was such a logical partnership choice was its alignment with Four Winds' three Key Values. "We are committed to a product that is headache free, always fresh
and easy to get started. Flyte really makes providing the information effortless; it is very easy to integrate."
