Relevance, Inc., a leading Ruby on Rails software development practice specializing in application product development, training and consulting, today announced the completion of its development project with Real Digital Media (RDM), a provider of next generation digital signage products for establishing point-of-purchase marketing, advertising and corporate communication networks.


The NEOCAST® Media Server is a web-based, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering that enables RDM customers to centrally manage large scale digital signage networks. Looking to deliver enhanced functionality, RDM was seeking to migrate to a more agile platform that could meet current user demands as well as streamline future development efforts. RDM chose to work with Relevance based on the firm’s proven track record as a Ruby on Rails development partner skilled in achieving high quality results against aggressive timelines.


The flexible nature of the Ruby on Rails-based platform built by Relevance allowed RDM to create a sustainable foundation for future development, innovation and integration with new technologies. This includes extending the platform through an API, allowing RDM to extend data, and potentially development, to its partners in the digital signage community.

IntelliChoice.com, the leading source for automotive ownership cost and value analysis, today announced its “Best Deals of the Month” for cars, trucks, and SUVs for the month of May, 2008. Once again, big car rebates play a major role in determining which vehicles give car buyers the most bang for their buck.
"The cars that we have identified as best deals for consumers are changing from month to month largely due to all of the new cash on the hood we are seeing,” said James Bell, publisher and editor of IntelliChoice.com. "There are some amazing rebates on some larger cars, all SUVs and many trucks. Rising gas prices and reluctant consumers are really starting to impact the industry.”

“The thing to know about auto rebates is that they can fluctuate heavily from month to month and week to week,” said Bell. “Today's car buyer is wise to check out the most recent rebates before making any decisions. For example, there are vehicles that we rarely see on our Best Deals list, such as the Isuzu Ascender with a $7,000 rebate this month, and the Nissan Quest minivan with a $3,500 rebate. Plus, the rebates we are seeing on certain full-size trucks are extraordinary. Note that the Dodge Ram wins all but one of May's full size truck categories.”

Bell also noted that with gas prices so high, the Best Deals for May include a who’s who of well-known small cars, but even smaller cars are not immune to the car rebate factor. Bell said, “In the subcompact class, the MINI Cooper Hatchback beats the Toyota Yaris Hatchback because there is no rebate on the Yaris.”

Maxim Color Technologies (MCT), a leading NYC pre-media company serving top advertising and publishing firms, was tapped by worldwide advertising network BBDO to create a cutting-edge CGI solution for a project with Bank of America and Major League Baseball.

MCT was asked to create visuals with headlines composed of a baseball jersey-stitched typeface. The end result was to be the complete alphabet and a set of numerals in 14 different colors against a letter canvas background. The stitching and outline were treated as separate components to allow the creation of headlines matching every major league team logo color. The lettering was originally sewn by machine and photographed, but because the quality and consistency of the sewn letters varied, a cutting-edge solution was necessary.
