So here's the risk in setting up Google Alerts for search terms. Sometimes you simply come across crappy/silly/BS articles that have the same level of information in them and zero credibility.
I'm just not sure why this blog thinks that digital signage companies (whether or not MediaTile is included in the analysis, which you'll notice isn't disclosed) are charging too much. Sure, like most technology, the costs of LCDs are dropping. You see this every year right around the holidays. A 65" screen today costs what a 32" cost just a few years ago.
But SaaS is not tangible product; it's a service (and that word is buried right there in the name). From my experience, SaaS is definitely the way to go when managing your employee communications network. There are no servers to manager or software to maintain. We do that for you.
So I still recommend using Google Alerts for your research, but you may come across questionable content along the way.
