Interesting perspective.
As digital signage evolves from simple display systems into intelligent, sensor-driven platforms, governance, privacy, and security considerations will definitely become more important. Manufacturers and integrators will need to ensure transparency, clear data handling practices, and compliance with emerging AI regulations.
Interesting analysis. AV1’s efficiency gains could definitely help with scaling high-resolution media workflows across shared networks.
It will be interesting to see how quickly it gets adopted in low-latency professional AV environments, where codecs optimized for deterministic performance still dominate.
Isabel’s story is a mix of serendipity, persistence and purposeful growth, offering inspiration for anyone, especially women ! aiming to make their mark in technology-driven, creative industries.
Great insights!
The distinction between having strong technology and having the right structure is spot on. Too often, companies underestimate the importance of local strategy, partner orchestration, and workflow alignment in APAC. It’s a timely reminder that growth is not just about product innovation, but about execution, ecosystem design, and operational discipline
