Where do our employees view the feed?

IF: You have a great RSS news feed for your internal staff. But they’re running some kind of software - financial, business, CAD, etc - and it consumes their whole screen all day. They can’t see little popups and they have no room on-screen for widgets. Your feed gets lost in email and you want to make sure everyone sees it immediately. They need this information, and they need it now. Where do they display it?

THEN:

Pertelian. A tiny USB display that you can program to display whatever you want. Your RSS feed of critical news, for example.

I just (finally) got around to playing with one. It works very well. The range of things you can display is very impressive. Setup is a little clunky and requires installation of Microsoft J# (why?) but I imagine they have a way to roll these out for enterprise users a bit more easily.

Other things you can display:

Finance rates, Stocks

Weather

Mail

Sports Scores

Network Statistics

Computer System Statistics

Call Center Stats

    Hello everyone, I am Alex Jarzebinski, President of ForeSight Systems, makers of the Pertelian PC Assistant. I want to thank Rob for helping us get the word of Pertelian out there an invite all of you to check out our page to learn what Pertelian can mean for you. I also wanted to comment about that J# requirement. Although a needed component for one of Pertelian’s many plug-ins, we are currently working on a new release to remove it’s need.
