For Amara's customers, X2O's flagship Xpresenter platform includes the Microsoft PowerPoint-based content authoring application; Web-based content management, content distribution, and remote management applications; and other digital signage solutions. Amara will also work closely with X2O Media to offer its customers award-winning creative design services and expertise in managing graphics and content.
