The award recognizes NEC's ability to formulate and successfully implement aggressive customer service strategies within a highly competitive market.

The Customer Value Enhancement Award is presented each year to the company that has best demonstrated the ability to expand its customer base, while maintaining its existing one, with more innovative value creation and enhancement strategies than competing vendors.

“It's an honor to be recognized for all facets of our digital signage solution,” said Pierre Richer, President and C.O.O. at NEC Display Solutions. “NEC goes above and beyond selling hardware, but provides the infrastructure, logistics and financing to set up a complete digital signage network. This award recognizes these differentiating qualities and is further proof of our customer-centric strategies aimed at offering a total solution.”
