Partnership enables sign shop dealers to extend their technical and geographic reach without having to invest in new staff.

Westford, MA (PRWEB) June 13, 2013

iTeam, Inc., a leading provider of technology service management for distributed enterprises and N. Glantz & Son, LLC, the largest full line electrical and digital sign and graphics supplier in the United States, have announced a partnership to provide digital signage rollout services. iTeam will provide digital signage installation and support services to N. Glantzâ??s sign dealer customers, using iTeamâ??s Service-as-a-Productâ?¢ approach and proprietary iPlatformâ?¢ system. With this new partnership, N. Glantz is now providing sign dealers with access to expert professional digital signage installation and support services for their customers nationwide.

â??Digital signage is one of the fastest growing technologies in the market today,â? said Joe Hartman, Co-CEO, of N. Glantz & Son. â??Our digital signage initiative makes leading technology, services and expertise immediately available to more than 15,000 of our sign dealer customers. Our partnership with iTeam is especially important to sign dealers who are new to digital signage, and those with experience who win bids for large signage rollouts in multiple geographies on tight deadlines. While deploying digital signage solutions can be time-consuming, complex work for traditional sign company personnel, the experts at iTeam serve as an extension of a sign dealerâ??s team, going onsite nationwide to install solutions on their behalf.â?

With the unique Service-as-a-Productâ?¢ (SaaPâ?¢) approach, iTeam has rapidly become the industry leader in packaged outsourcing of digital signage installation and support services. Invented by iTeam, SaaP transforms complex installation processes into packaged products. It combines: 1) productized installation services, 2) processes to anticipate and accommodate site-to-site environmental variations, 3) dedicated iTeam Service Advisors to manage every installation event, 4) a proven nationwide network of high quality field installers, and 5) unprecedented visibility and control provided by iTeamâ??s iPlatform software. N. Glantz & Sonâ??s state-of-the-art digital signage technology offering and iTeamâ??s Service-as-a-Product approach will make large-scale deployments predictable and cost-efficient, and will virtually eliminate the unexpected delays and cost overruns often associated with larger scale distributed deployments.

â??N. Glantz & Sonâ??s sign dealer customers will love working with iTeam,â? said William Kazman, CEO of iTeam. â??In addition to mainstream services from a proven company, they will have direct access to pre-sales support, fast turn quoting, convenient scheduling, and short timeframe service delivery. It is not unusual for iTeam to be onsite installing digital signage within a few days of service request.â?

Not sure what the scope of iTeam and N.Gantz will be but form the sounds of it looks like iTeam will package and sell to the client and sub the installation. Can anyone say "uh oh", especially when it comes to California and now Texas, not to mention all the other states who have contractors licensing laws. Wonder where Fast Signs is on this with Samsung?

The Glantz rep came through town making the circuit and promoted Glantz Dynamic Solutions and gave me this flyer. http://www.nglantz.com/PDF_DOCs/Glantz_DigitalSignage.pdf

He said all I had to do was sell it and they would install it and set it up. I found http://www.glantzdynamic.com/, which contradicts the rep a bit by saying there is "Ten Simple steps to becoming an approved Samsung/GDS dealer".

Has anyone here any experience with this? I may can pitch it to some sports bars around town if it can broadcast games as well as menu specials.
