iSign to get $5M (U.S.) investment from OneWorld
2021-02-22 18:08 ET - News Release
Mr. Dallas Pokornik of OneWorld reports
ONEWORLD SMART SOLUTIONS HOLDINGS CORP. ANNOUNCES A $5 MILLION USD INVESTMENT INTO ISIGN MEDIA SOLUTIONS INC.
OneWorld Smart Solutions Holdings Corp., a company involved in the fields of personal protection equipment (PPE) for COVID-19 as well as in the health and medical fields globally, has signed an agreement with iSign Media Solutions Inc. for an investment of $5-million (U.S.).
"iSign's technology and hardware fits into our existing business model, as well as with other technologies that we are looking to acquire and/or develop," stated Dallas Pokornik, OneWorld's communications director. "We are always looking for new and exciting technologies that have a fit within our operations, and we believe iSign's mobile messaging and data capture technology is a strong fit."
OneWorld has recently enjoyed global and North American sales success in the PPE and related accessories field, through its related company, OneWorld Health Solutions Corp., especially since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The company has recently moved its operations to Toronto, Canada, and its management was reintroduced to iSign due to iSign's efforts to use its safety alert messaging (SAM) technology to provide messaging in the medical, health and senior care fields.
OneWorld's management first became aware of iSign in its original early start-up stage, when it was employed at IBM's global software solutions team, and initiated a partnership with IBM as a software solutions provider for mobile messaging and data capture. Twelve years later OneWorld has again found the right SAAS (software-as-a-service) solution at the right time to scale iSign technology and sales in its planned introduction of the world's first artificial-intelligence-based solution and network supported by IBM's Watson computing cloud. The product to be introduced will be a small table-top device able to monitor the health and medical metrics of patients in hospitals, at home and in senior care facilities, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with leading-edge sensors wirelessly in concert with iSign's solutions.
OneWorld is scaling far beyond PPE equipment, and is planning an entrance into the medical and health care fields globally with a safe, cost-effective and lifesaving product to be available within the next six months from iSign.
OneWorld has the financial resources to commit to this new iSign investment as well as to the hiring of staff and new management to allow for the scaling of sales and expansion into global markets with new and improved technologies.
The closing of this agreement is subject to review and acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.

New School Security Alert System Unveiled by iSIGN
TORONTO, Feb. 28, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - iSIGN Media Solutions Inc. ("iSIGN" or the "Company") (TSXV: ISD) (OTCQX: ISDSF), a leading provider of interactive mobile advertising solutions that serves advertisers, manufacturers, retailers and advertising agencies throughout North America, today announced the demonstration of its Security Alert Messaging ("SAM") solution in a school environment in the United States.
In light of the recent string of school shootings in the United States, school security is becoming increasing more of an issue with school boards. Discussions have been finalized with school officials and Safety Coordinators of a school district in Indiana and iSIGN will be demonstrating the effectiveness of their SAM system to them. The demonstration, scheduled for the week of March 5th, will be conducted in the Mt. Vernon Middle School, in Fortville, Indiana and will showcase the solution's ability to rapidly alert students and faculty to a wide range of emergency situations such as an active shooter, intruder on the premises, or natural event. This pioneering solution is the first of it's kind to not only rapidly alert students and faculty, but also give clear instructions on the quickest and safest method of avoiding the threat. While SAM aids in evacuating the premises, it can also alert police, EMT services, fire departments and other first responders depending on the nature of the emergency.
While SAM has already being introduced in locations in North, Central and South America, the demonstration in Mt. Vernon Middle School will serve as the first concentrated effort to utilize the mobile alert solution as a way of minimizing the deadliness of an active shooter and other threats. SAM merges both rapid mobile alerts with digital signage and proximity messaging, maximizing the chance that in the case of an emergency, students and faculty receive real-time information on the emergency and the best way of safely evacuating the premises. The solution can be integrated with existing alarms and other security measures to ensure that authorities arrive, and school attendees evacuate in as little time as possible.
While serving a core purpose in emergency situations, SAM can also be utilized for day-to-day interactions with teachers and students. By distributing standard messages and announcements as well as aiding in practice procedures such as fire drills, SAM will be utilized often and not just during emergency situations. This ensures that faculty and students have an intimate knowledge and understanding of the system and that the full capabilities of the SAM solution will still be fully utilized by the school. This also serves as a running status test to ensure there are no undiscovered outages, such as an alarm system that fails to function when needed because it has not been tested regularly.
This demonstration marks the beginning of iSIGN's involvement in school and workplace safety, as it continues to expand SAM's presence in areas such as airports, businesses, shopping malls, government offices, sports stadiums, concert halls and places of worship. The genius of SAM lies in its ability to work as an effective emergency solution as well as serving as an effective day-to-day mobile alert system that can maximize its utility as a product. Additionally, discounts negotiated with insurance carriers by users of the SAM solution will reduce their costs. With school and safety officials well versed with the solution and its myriad applications, plans for expansions within the Mount Vernon School District, as well as many other school boards across the country are already underway. This solution is intended to work with existing emergency response policies and systems, thereby enhancing the security of locations in concert with their existing safety measures. This is what makes SAM both a turnkey and a completely scalable solution.
The Mount Vernon School District has six elementary schools, two middle schools, and one high school, allowing the solution to be expanded in a variety of environments and building layouts. This ensures that the product is accessible to students of all ages and needs and can broadcast alerts to both students with and without a cellular device.
Once completed, this installation will serve as a model for all other public locations with safety concerns.

ISIGN - PROXIMITY MARKETING
Proximity mobile phone advertising with real-time consumer analytics.
PRODUCT & SERVICES OVERVIEW
How It Works
The customer enters the broadcasting range (30 to 300 feet or 10 to 100m) of the Interactive Media Solutions (IMS) Unit or Smart Antenna. The IMS or Smart Antenna (SA) unit pings any Bluetooth enabled mobile device asking if the customer wants to receive a message, coupon, special offer or information
The customer must opt IN or OUT.
If the customer chooses to opt in they will receive a multi-lingual, media rich and secure message in the form of coupons, ads, video or music at no cost to the consumer
If the customer opts out they will not be pinged with a second attempt for the offer
The IMS unit transmits via Bluetooth® while iSIGN's proprietary Smart Antenna supports both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi connections are initiated by consumers. They connect to the Smart Antenna as an open Access Point (AP) and then launch their web browser and get redirected to a landing page. From this page, they can select an effectively unlimited amount of content.
The customer is enticed by the call-to-action and carries out the desired action
Behind the scenes Bluetooth discoveries and interaction data is logged along with Wi-Fi connection and interaction data. This data is then presented within reports or as raw data for gaining valuable marketing information and “Shopper Insight”
INTERACT . TRANSACT . MEASURE
What It Does
iSIGN’s solution runs stand alone or integrates with signage networks, kiosks and point of sale devices to interact with mobile devices providing rich media content and allowing for the collection of consumer data for analysis and measurement. This solution:
Respects individual privacy through tracking via the the mobile phone’s Bluetooth and Wi-Fi MAC addresses,
Is Absolutely free and requires no cell carrier coverage (carrier agnostic)
Captures discovery, connection and interaction history for mobile devices
Content is relevant – proximity based push to all mobile devices
Complements Digital Signage. IMS software utilizes the same hardware supporting the sign to transmit Bluetooth messages (in any language) to draw consumers into a store, or up to a sign. The Smart Antenna runs stand alone, and communicates wtih Digital Signage, Kiosks and other systems in real-time
Cost effective advertising and metrics in real time
This data can be analyzed and or coupled with loyalty account information to create ongoing uncompromised targeted campaigns
Customized back-end analytics dashboard for clients
BENEFITS
iSIGN advertising is proximity advertising. Research shows that consumers receiving an ad within proximity to a retailer are far more likely to act on the ad. This is attributed to the fact that very little user work is required to act upon the impulse to purchase what the ad supports. Other important benefits include:
Polling. Get consumer feedback on products in real-time.
Product details and Menu boards. Give users the ability to view detailed product info. Info can include menu boards that user’s can interact with to order product.
Wayfinding. Discover user location via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and provide real time directions from their location to a destination within a map.
Loyalty Programs. Track loyalty members using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to provide targeted advertising based on location history or member-selected categories.
The Bottom Line:
The cost of engaging a consumer at any time is $.03 or less which is significantly lower than print.
Unlike a bill board the consumer is in the store.
It is free to the consumer.
Allows advertising agencies to differentiate themselves since our experience has shown the better the content the greater the participation.
The system is easy to use and requires no capital to implement.
Can be a source of significant revenue for the retailer.
The back office analyzes data and results in real time and the output is customizable.

SIGN Media Announces an Agreement in Principle to Acquire POS Canada
2014-05-28 06:30 ET - News Release
TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 05/28/14
iSIGN Media Solutions Inc. ("iSIGN" or "Company") (TSX VENTURE:ISD) (OTCQX:ISDSF), a leading provider of interactive mobile advertising solutions that serves advertisers, manufacturers, retailers and advertising agencies throughout North America, today announced that it has entered into an Memorandum of Agreement ("Agreement") to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of POS Canada ("POS").

Pursuant to the Agreement iSIGN will now complete its due diligence process and if satisfactory, will proceed to negotiate the terms of a definitive Purchase Agreement, The acquisition is subject to executing a legally binding Purchase Agreement between the parties and to obtaining TSX Venture Exchange approval.
The acquisition of POS will provide the Company with an immediate expanded source of revenue from POS' existing base of approximately 2,000 clients in the high-end corporate hospitality and retail industries and provides iSIGN with an immediate client and data base for its Point of Sales Data Acquisition ("PDAQ") solution and hardware.
The PDAQ solution results in the Company being able to provide a truly unique offering that joins POS' leading edge point-of-sale hardware and software with iSIGN's proximity-based Smart Antenna and Smart Player hardware, which broadcasts to mobile devices, as well as the ability to manage digital signage. The Integrated data from point-of-sale, digital signage and proximity mobile broadcasting assets will be the first of its kind in the world, providing information from a range of sources in real-time to advertisers, brands and the hospitality and retail industries. It further allows the Company to marry point-of-sale data with data gathered from mobile interactions to provide a more enhanced and valuable inventory of data that the Company expects will be of great interest to clients, advertisers and brands.
iSIGN's data partners and clients consider the ability to review, compare and potentially combine insights from mobile interaction data with those derived from point-of-sale installations to be of prime importance to the Company's ability to grow its data sales business and to increase its data sales pricing based on significant additional value.
Following the completion of the acquisition of POS Canada by iSIGN, iSIGN intends to file additional patent applications, ancillary to its already granted patent Application No. 11/986,650, Art Unit 3693.

The additional patent application will be requested for iSIGN's unique method of collecting and integrating mobile proximity data, customer loyalty and data base data, with POS data, and the resulting insights. This intellectual property will be monetized and provide further sources of revenue for iSIGN.
Both parties are committed to finalizing the acquisition and believe that it will result in a strong company uniquely positioned to take advantage of their mutual and combined strengths to the advantage of both its clients and shareholders.

PINPOINT MEDIA GROUP INC., A LEADING NORTH AMERICAN DIGITAL SIGNAGE NETWORK PROVIDER CHOOSES ISIGN MEDIA'S IMS 3.0 TECHNOLOGY TO BROADCAST TO MOBILE PHONES
Pinpoint Media Group Inc. has partnered with iSIGN Media Solutions Inc. to enhance its network.
iSIGN's Interactive Marketing Solution 3.0 software will be embedded into the Mac's/Couche-Tard convenience store chain's digital signage network in Canada, commencing Jan. 4, 2011, in Quebec first where it has over 85 per cent of the market share in the convenience/gas retail market. Installations will follow in Ontario where it has a 65-per-cent share of the market and Western Canada, where it has a 60-per-cent share of the market.
The addition of iSIGN's patent-pending proximity-based interactive advertising solution will expand the reach of all signage advertising content to mobile phones, capturing shoppers' response and allow for real time analysis. Pinpoint will be the first major advertising footprint to include "Business Intelligence" data gathering to its advertising clients.
The Pinpoint network consists of 5,200 digital signs/faces and is contributing and influencing the $8 billion in annual transactions from up to 1.5 million daily customers in Pinpoint enabled locations.
Once all signage is embedded and advertisers request activation of the IMS 3.0 software, annual revenues of just over $8 million will be generated by iSIGN's monthly licensing fees. The embedding is an automated process, performed remotely, as is the activation which will be done throughout the network to engage advertisers.
"In 2011 Pinpoint Media will be the largest digital signage footprint offering all brand and service advertisers our iSIGN powered interactive messaging to mobile phones in proximity of each location to increase consumer awareness and spontaneous purchases in the Mac's/Couche-Tard chain," said Alex Romanov, iSIGN's Chief Executive Officer. "This will increase sales and revenues for the stores, the advertisers and Pinpoint."
"This will be a very unique ROI opportunity for our advertisers and will be instantly measurable as all signage is embedded and the IMS 3.0 software activated for advertisers," said Enmanuel Rumbos, President of Pinpoint Media. "This is something that ad agencies and clients alike are constantly looking for in this emerging medium."
"Advertisers on the Pinpoint signage network will be able to receive real-time feedback to each advertisement sent to shoppers' phones from every sign in each location," added Mr. Romanov. "Currently our IMS 3.0 software has demonstrated the ability to interact with 150,000 or more mobile devices per month from a single unit and we look forward to the volume of data we will capture in a chain with millions of customers monthly. Pinpoint's advertisers will be the beneficiaries of large volumes of confirmed responses to each advertisement. This is a marketer's dream."
Both executives were unanimous to add "that Pinpoint's network will have the instant advantage of being able to interact with millions of mobile phones per month, resulting in possibly the largest digital data gathering system to date, provided by and proving the power of location based interactive proximity advertising utilizing BluetoothAtrademark enabled technology which is free of cost to consumers, doesn't impact their privacy while providing virtual real time feedback to clients for analysis for the planning of future planned marketing campaigns.
