Digital Media Signage is the easy way to share knowledge

Digital Media Signage (DMS) is a means of quickly and easily sharing knowledge with employees or customers via streaming video.  The system is integrated directly into the company’s IP network and opens up a great number of new possibilities.

For example, a supermarket can increase sales by advertising sales via video within the shop while customers wait at the checkout.  The products to be featured, when, and for how long are all controlled from a central unit so that each shop need not use time or energy doing anything more than switching on the screen and media player.

DMS is the perfect corporate messaging tool for larger companies. For example, the director's latest overview of company strategy can be broadcasted across national borders.  It can either be done live as a streaming video or stored in a link, so that employees in a meeting or those who are absent due to illness can receive the same information as their colleagues at a time that better suits them.

Digital Media Signage also provides easy access to e-learning. A business or educational institution can very easily film a lesson or presentation and afterwards make it available via a link, which can then be accessed by employees or students at any time. Both the private and public sectors can save millions of tax dollars by utilising e-learning when temps, recent graduates and new hires are to be introduced to their coming appointments.  In addition, DMS will free up plenty of resources among the routine employees, who can use their time to work more efficiently, as opposed to training new colleagues.

DMS is a simple system, consisting of two centrally-located encoders combined with a screen and media player at each location.  The media player is the size of a router and less exposed than a PC, which can be used for many other purposes. DMS resizing can be made at the exact tempo that suits the business, as it is simply a matter of connecting more screens and media players.  By way of an example, Norske Tippet, the Nordic answer to Danske Spil (Denmark’s lotto), has connected their entire dealer net consisting of 4,200 locations to DMS, so that all relevant information automatically flows to the shops from the central unit.
