NEW YORK, March 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ComQi, the global multi-channel message management company, announced today that its nominee, CTM Media Group's Ettractions ExploreBoard, won the DSE Gold Apex Award in the Interactive Self-Services Solutions category.
ComQi and CTM developed this customized touch screen solution by combining its EnGage Content Management System, a custom Flash application and the ettractions.com content library to provide an intuitive and easy to use user interface to allow travelers to gain information on local points of interest, dining, and shopping.
