Here's my two cents. Great looking program but downside for me is that it's run and owned by SignARama. Why does that matter? Well since it's on the cloud and since they are controlling and housing all the data, it's unbelievably simple for them to look at customers you have, orders being placed, pricing for materials, etc and then possibly use it for their own marketing purposes.
Am I saying this is happening, no, not at all but that fact that it can be done very easily is concerning and I would think would be concerning. They can easily see what regions are selling the highest profits of signs and drop a Sign A Rama in that location or let their centers know in certain areas what is not selling so they can promote products other aren't.
Again, not saying it's happening just that it can. If SignVox can show me where in their contract that they do absolutely nothing with our data and have no access to it without our consent, then I would be fine.
Hi All, I would like to respond to this categorically that Signarama does not have any investment nor any kind of ownership in our company. Period.
Now that said after I did some research, looks like Christian & one of his employees got a webinar from Kevin on Monday.
And today a friend of our's saw this and alerted us.
So first I wanted to give Christian the benefit of doubt and to clarify why he thought we are owned by SignARama. I called his store and when he came on the line I said this is Rao from SignVOX, do you have a minute to talk if not I can call later. He said "No I dont have time" and as I was trying to find out if there is a better time, he hung up.
Christian, if you want to clarify why you claim we are owned by SAR, I will be happy to respond or you can call me at any time at 5105801874 if you want to talk in person.
To all others, you all can be rest assured, that we are 100% independent of Sign*A*Rama. It just happens that we are the preferred vendor for Sign*A*Rama and nothing else. Just like HP is preferred vendor of Sign*A*Rama and Proveer and several others. Just like we sell to each of you we sell to every individual Sign*A*Rama store. So I am curious where this is coming from.
And to give you guys little more insight into how we manage our data, the Independent server farm is separate from the Signarama Servers physically, so your data resides physically on separate boxes than the one for Sign*A*Rama.
Again, all as we have always been there is nothing to hide, please feel free to talk to us and we will be candid and open as always. I hope I have clarified who owns SignVOX and if any one feels like to discuss more about this please feel free to contact me.
You all have a great weekend and see you all at the NBM show in June.
