In 2000, it launched AxisTV, its first digital signage content management software. Under the leadership of Sean Matthews since 2004, the company shifted its focus to software development. In 2006, all non-AxisTV products were retired and the company was renamed Visix to reflect its new direction.

This approach not only drives the success of our clients, but has also inspired the industry as a whole. “Many competitors have followed our lead and we are proud to have led our industry towards adopting a more holistic approach to digital signage.”
