About Us
Who we are:
Rise Vision Inc. owns, develops, and operates the Rise Display Network, a web-based content management solution for digital signage that brings content to thousands of displays. We are currently celebrating our 17th year of digital signage achievements. Our head office is in Etobicoke, Ontario, and we have affiliates, resellers, distributors and customers across the United States and Canada.
We are a private company wholly owned by Rise Holdings Inc., who also holds other related companies. For investor relations please visit Rise Holdings Inc.
Our history:
Rise Vision Inc. has been in operation providing digital signage software since 1992. Our solution Rise Display Network is a Software as a Service (SaaS) application that has hundreds of subscribers controlling thousands of displays across North America. Among our clients are notable fortune 500 companies such as Starwood Hotels, British Petroleum (BP), JP Morgan Chase, E*trade Financial, and Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) as well as prominent higher education facilities including Villanova University, University of Toronto, Texas A&M and Pepperdine University. The Rise Display Network is sold by distributors such as Ingram Micro, Synnex, Tech Data and Stampede who in turn make it available to over 10,000 resellers across the US and Canada.
Our SaaS system:
Rise Vision pioneered the Software as a Service (SaaS) approach to digital signage control. Our Rise Display Network is a web service that does not require any hosting infrastructure. Users log in from any Internet-accessible browser to update, control, and monitor their displays. They can even use their smart-phones to send critical alerts to their displays via the web.
Our philosophy:
Every display needs a message. We believe that it should be easy to create that message from the web, anywhere, anytime, and to know that it has been delivered. It’s that simple.
Our partners:
Rise Vision fully supports our partners, the private network operators who both “private-label” our Rise Display Network and add additional services and products to it. Together, we deliver far greater value to their end users than either of us could provide separately. Rise Vision does not sell directly to our partners or to end-users; supported display subscriptions are only available from our private network operators, and in turn, the Private Network Operator Program is only available from our distributors.
Our green practices:
“Green” may not be the first word that comes to mind when you think of a company involved with digital signage, but in fact, at Rise Vision we’ve taken significant steps to make sure that both our products and our own corporate practices have a positive impact on the environment. To this end, we’ve done the following so far:
- We’ve embraced the SaaS concept of cloud computing for our own flagship product, Rise Display Network. No more product CDs, boxes or manuals for every new release, and no need for our customers to keep upgrading their hardware (and contributing old hardware to landfills) just to keep pace with each new release. If it can handle the web, it can handle our latest.
- We also practice what we preach with the software that we use ourselves. Almost all of our office’s writing, communicating and creating is now done using cloud-based SaaS tools. Consequently, we’ve reduced the number of our in-house servers to just one. And as soon as we find a good SAAS accounting solution, that one will be removed as well!
- We’ve shifted our marketing output from print-based brochures and catalogs to digital and online alternatives.
- Whenever possible, we choose webinars and online conferencing tools to reduce our reliance on travel.
- All of our company vehicles are hybrids.
