A digital signage project has many parts. There's choosing the right hardware and software, deciding what content will be displayed, and ensuring that your signage system is properly maintained because a blank or malfunctioning screen presents a poor image for whatever purpose the digital signage intended. 

When we are brought in to propose a digital signage project, one area we sometimes see that needs more attention is the management of the system. Who is going to keep the content up to date? What is the level of complexity in that content? Of course, there are several authoring and management tools to accomplish these tasks, but picking the right one, provisioning the team that will use it, and building the right processes around managing your system is not as easy as it might seem. If you're considering a digital signage project in Scottsdale (or, for that matter, anywhere), here are some critical things to consider.

If your friend still used paper maps to navigate while driving—pulling over to find the right exit— you’d want to help them, right? You’d likely say, “Hey, you should try this thing called GPS. It’s so much easier.”

We feel similarly towards businesses and their approach to digital signage. We still frequently encounter companies that manually deploy digital signage players on computers. To update the display’s software, they need to walk to every single computer, climb up on a ladder, and plug into the device.

Does that sound like your company? If your organization has several or hundreds of digital signage to manage, that’s a hefty task for an IT department that has other concerns. And if you don’t catch issues quickly enough, there could be Windows update notifications or error screens being broadcasted for days or weeks.

Luckily, there’s a better approach. With managed AV services, Level 3 Audiovisual can remotely update software across all your displays from one platform. Read on to learn how managed services eliminate the headache of updating your company’s digital signage!

Digital signage has been around for some time with many successful applications, from restaurants to shopping centers to building lobbies and transportation hubs. The advantages of digital display technologies are numerous and well-understood, but companies are taking a closer look at this solution for a new area  that is not so well-understood – hybrid workplaces.

Digital signage is an increasingly popular solution for a wide range of applications. For example, in restaurants, dynamic menus are displayed on digital signage, and pricing and availability can be changed quickly, especially useful in a moving supply environment. In offices, company announcements, promotions, social media posts, charitable drives, and important events can be put on digital signage to highlight information that may get crushed in the daily barrage of company emails and messaging. In building lobbies, digital signage can tell a story and build company brand images, and interactive versions can assist people in locating their destination in a building or campus. 

Digital signage design may be as simple as one display and one solution and person to manage the content in Tempe, AZ. But for large organizations, the complexity of deployment requires a strategy and management process.
