Fit for the Future with the Oxygen Media Platform on Windows 7

Garbsen, 31th August 2009 – Although available as “release to manufacturing” (RTM) version for selected partners only, Microsoft’s new operating system is on the tip of everybody’s tongue. Like many other digital signage solutions the Oxygen Media Platform by 42media group GmbH is based on the software created by the market leader from Redmond. As one of the first providers 42media group is now offering its customers protection of investment by fully supporting Windows 7.
When operating systems are replaced by newer ones the manufacturers suspend their service for the outdated products as well. Updates, service packs and even support are not available any longer. The customer often feels left alone with his problems when the digital signage system doesn’t run on the new software. To prevent such problems 42media group GmbH has made its Oxygen Media Platform ready for Windows 7.
“On the basis of the release candidate our developer team has carried out the first adjustments at an early stage to be prepared to test Oxygen with the RTM version”, says Wolfgang Berndt, 42media group Chief Software Architect. “So we could benefit from a head start and ensure that Oxygen will work with Windows 7.”
The adjustment to Windows 7 makes Oxygen run on all language versions of the new operating system so that even customers from China, the Arab Emirates or Russia can display texts in their characters on the screens.
“The idea of adjusting Oxygen to Windows 7 came up during the development of Oxygen.next, our new digital signage web service. Since Oxygen.next is used internationally an adjustment to all language versions was inevitable”, says Matthias Wagner, 42media group CEO. “At the same time our enterprise products have been adjusted as well. This shows that both segments benefit from such development.”
The 42media group digital signage software is thus suitable for Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 so the Oxygen Media Platform is covering the widest spectrum of operating systems applied.
