What are the security risks when linking smart devices to your network? How is all of this new technology changing consumer expectations? At Kiosk Solutions Magazine, our team of experts are ready to answer as many questions that you want to send our way. In addition to bringing you the latest news and opinion from anyone who’s anyone in the kiosk world, from the biggest names to the smallest boutique manufacturers, we’ll also be keeping you up-to-date with the latest legislation, future trends, insights, ideas and analysis from the industry at large. In this issue we meet a number of businesses, ranging from ChargeBox to KioWare, that have a social mission at their core - which in itself helps build market value. As Laura Miller of KioWare points out, interactive kiosks are not a new concept, but new markets and opportunities continue to emerge, creating a broader definition of what a kiosk looks like, what it can do and who it can help: “Like cars and phones, kiosks look very different from what they were 25 years ago,” she says. “But they’ve never been as scalable and accessible as the are today.” Can kiosks go even further to develop innovation in our ever connected world? We certainly think so. Enjoy the issue.
