DMS × Oliver Bauer × Sharp/NEC Display Solutions.
Best of the best: About colleagues, friends and partners — DMS talking to Oliver Bauer, Regional Sales Manager at Sharp NEC Display Solutions.
We keep talking — with the best of the best: This includes Oliver Bauer, who enriches us with his insights. We would like to thank you for the nice conversation at Café Blaustern, where he talked about his visions and demands.
Sharp NEC Display Solutions: one of our preferred partners for high-quality hardware.
With Oliver Bauer, we have an expert in our network who only provides us with the best products: high-quality display solutions. Because for us at DMS, it always means: Standard is not our standard: We want the best for our customers.
Working as a team on high-end solutions.
Sharp NEC Display Solutions is a provider of hardware; as a classic integrator, DMS offers the complete solution: i.e. a display, but also the associated innovative solution such as live shopping, live recruiting or digital signage. As a team, i.e. when DMS uses a product from Sharp NEC Display Solutions, unique innovations are created from which our customers benefit. What does Oliver appreciate about DMS? The creative way of thinking and the holistic approach: You look at tasks with a big picture view. He makes an exciting comparison: “It's like cars, I can put a sports car in front of someone's door and my counterpart can still be dissatisfied because he'd rather climb a mountain with an off-road vehicle.” To stick with this analogy, we at DMS always sit down with our customers' personal destination so that they reach their destination in record speed.
Sharp NEC Display Solutions: Perform better with continuity.
Oliver has been Regional Sales Manager at Sharp NEC Display Solutions for 13 years. What does he appreciate about his employer? Success stories with long-term strategies are written here. The focus of all products is on extremely high quality and the associated durability.
People always go the extra mile.
... And that from everyone in the team: This is how customers can be convinced over the long term. There are enough USPs that speak for Sharp NEC Display Solutions products. There was never one price leader — but high quality standards on the part of the bank. With displays from Sharp NEC Display Solutions, you opt for a solution that works sustainably. Compliance with technical features is of course always required and goes without saying anyway.
From desktop to large format, indoor and outdoor: They are outstanding here when it comes to the breadth of the Visual Solutions portfolio, which makes things easy for us at DMS. In short: There is actually nothing that we cannot obtain from this partner.
Oliver, who previously worked for Sony and Dell, among others, was involved in the joint venture between Sharp and NEC, which led to the result Sharp NEC Display Solutions Europe GmbH in order to tender the full name of the company. Oliver, who acts in his position for the Austrian market, can identify with the company perfectly.
The company has a strong presence worldwide, which is an advantage for accounts such as Volkswagen due to the availability of a uniform shopping basket. People always act in a sustainability-driven manner, which is also proven by the EcoVadis certification — this is, by the way, of great importance for Global Corporation.
The long product life cycles also show the sustainability standards of the solutions: Oliver talks about a case in which a device was uninstalled at Vienna Airport after a full 18 years — but not because it was broken or its functionality was limited. But simply because the design was no longer consistent. A compliment that underlines the high quality.
Heavy metal instead of plastic.
The fact that the products work longer is also due to the materials: Sharp NEC Display Solutions uses a high proportion of metal and less plastic. Plus: 97% recycled material in the display environment. The life of the device is extended by optimising the heat dissipation of the displays at high operating temperatures, while reducing CO2 emissions. This protects the environment and reduces operating costs. The focus is on features such as ambient light sensors and predetermined timers. LED walls consume up to 60% less electricity, which has a positive effect on the balance sheet. In addition, less heat is emitted, which means that air conditioning systems can be used less frequently. Sharp NEC Display Solutions pays attention to nature when packaging and uses only recycled cardboard and a minimum of plastic.
State-of-the-art solutions from Sharp NEC Display Solutions.
There are lots of them. We at DMS will be using a few more: starting with the new series of projectors, which impress with filterless architecture and first-class image quality. Perfectly designed ePaper displays are essential for the future of retail.
First choice for ePaper displays for every industry.
ePaper displays make sense in the long term, as countless messages are no longer printed on paper and power consumption is kept very low. A pioneering innovation in the area of energy-efficient digital signage technologies. Only a minimal amount of power is required to change the content. Oliver is proud of the products that Sharp NEC Display Solutions has in its portfolio — 13-inch and 25-inch ePaper displays were recently launched at ISE. These innovations will only bring countless benefits in retail, but also airports and museums.

That's Oliver: He always knows which solution is the best if you're looking for a state-of-the-art product — this also applies to the currently largest indoor LED installation at Linzer voestalpine AG, with a format of 13.3 x 3.6 meters. With Sharp NEC Display Solutions, you always opt for the highest quality and durability. “But some integrators are already afraid of proposing high-priced products; cheaper solutions are immediately offered. We're not a low-cost provider, but when you look at the total cost of ownership, we're definitely the best provider,” Oliver concludes. Sales consulting is not just a question of technology — as with most areas, it is about where you want to go in the long term. And this big picture view, because Oliver appreciates DMS, is something he himself brings to every project.
There is much that unites us: In particular, the desire to always provide experiences that inspire. If it's not wow, it's not from DMS — and certainly not from Sharp NEC Display Solutions!
