ATLANTA, GA – Visix, Inc., a leading provider of digital signage, wayfinding and space management solutions, is celebrating 45 years in business. Over four and a half decades, the company has grown to serve more than 4000 clients across three continents, evolving its software, hardware and services to help organizations create, manage and deliver more engaging communications to their audiences.
Visix’s mission is simple: “help people communicate better.” By developing products that are easy to use and access, the company aims to improve the quality and reach of visual messaging for a more dynamic user and audience experience.
“Our journey has been one of constant transformation and innovation,” says Sean Matthews, president and CEO of Visix. “We’ve grown from manufacturing AV hardware tools back in the ’80s to providing a full portfolio of visual communication solutions today. It’s been a joy to grow with our clients, partners and employees over the last 45 years, navigating so many technological and communication advances together. What hasn’t changed is our focus on serving our clients’ needs through both groundbreaking product development, and exceptional support and service.”
Founded in 1980 as Tech Electronics, Inc. (TEi), the company initially offered black box products such as programmable video controllers and media retrieval systems. 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. By 2006, all non-AxisTV products were retired, and the company rebranded as Visix to reflect its new direction.
From the start, Visix has partnered with a broad network of AV/IT resellers, bringing its products to corporate, education, government, healthcare and hospitality customers across the globe. Over time, the company has become the preferred digital signage vendor for higher education, serving over 1,000 colleges and universities with software features tailored to campus environments.
Visix has continuously expanded the reach and impact of its solutions, redefining the concept of digital signage by extending visual messaging to room signs, websites, desktops and mobile devices. The company has also incorporated interactive design services and space booking solutions, establishing itself as a comprehensive visual communications provider. Visix has been recognized as one of Inc.’s Best Workplaces and has garnered dozens of product awards and over 130 awards for content and interactive designs.
“At Visix, we’ve helped redefine the digital signage experience,” says Trey Hicks, CSO and COO of Visix. “We don’t just spec and sell products – we partner with clients to shape their communication strategies, offering expert advice on content, design and emerging trends in organizational messaging. This approach not only drives our clients’ success, but has inspired the industry at large. Many competitors have followed our lead, and we take pride in having steered our industry toward adopting a more holistic approach to digital signage.”
That broader mindset has led to numerous Visix breakthroughs in the digital signage space. Visix was the first to:
- focus on organizational communications versus retail environments.
- consult on communications strategy, content planning and success measures.
- integrate common alerting protocol (CAP) for emergency notifications.
- extend digital signage content playback to desktops and mobile devices.
- develop a voice user interface for digital signs and room signs.
- incorporate room signs into the digital signage ecosystem.
- introduce epaper room and desk signs to facilities managers in North America.
- launch augmented reality space booking for smartphones.
Visix has also established itself as a thought leader in the digital signage industry, offering the largest library of free resources for digital signage users and communications professionals, including expert articles, guides, white papers, videos and the award-winning Digital Signage Done Rightpodcast.
Looking ahead, Visix remains focused on innovation. In 2025, the company plans to further enhance its AxisTV Signage Suite software with expanded data-mapping and analytics capabilities, as well as support for BrightSign players. Visix also aims to accelerate the adoption of sustainable space management practices with smartphone booking and e-paper signs for office hoteling environments.
“The next chapter of Visix will be defined by next-generation ideas, creative market solutions and an unwavering commitment to our clients and partners,” says Matthews. “We’re just getting started.”
