Dise, Vertiseit Group
Scala
A 1987 enterprise brand, acquired in 2026 and sold only through partners.
Everything below is read off Scala's own current site, but the product pages it comes from predate the acquisition by Dise in May 2026. Treat the platform and capability detail as a dated benchmark rather than a description of what ships today, and confirm it with a partner before it decides anything. How entries are researched.
Scala is one of the oldest names in the category and now sits inside the Vertiseit group, having been acquired by Dise in May 2026. The company describes the result as a return to being software-only and partner-only, which is the practical thing to know about it: you buy Scala through a system integrator rather than from a website. There is no price list, no signup and no free tier. The product is three parts, a content manager, a designer and a player, with the player built around store-and-forward so a dropped network does not blank a screen.

- company . hqcompany . foundeddeployment Page banner reads "SINCE 1987", "PART OF VERTISEIT GROUP", "VARBERG, SWEDEN". Body: "After the acquisition in May 2026, Scala is returning to its roots as a software-only, partner-only platform" and describes "accelerating the transition to modern cloud-based software and recurring SaaS services". The cloud deployment recorded here follows that sentence, which describes a transition rather than a finished state.

- platformscapabilitiesoffline Playback "This aspect of the content manager is compatible with both Linux and Windows." The same page describes creating timetables and playlists, playback that continues "even if your network connection goes down" using store-and-forward, a log of events "for simplified ad billing and error tracking", and playback of interactive video on a touchscreen monitor. This page predates the May 2026 acquisition.

- pricingopen Source No price appears anywhere on the site, /pricing and /plans both redirect rather than resolving, and /software redirects to the home page. No repository or source code is offered, and the product is licensed through partners, so it is recorded as not open source.
