ANY APPLICATION

A digital signage system is only effective if the content i t shows is kept up-to-date and relevant to your viewers. Delegating who wil l update content is the most crit ical factor for a successful digital signage deployment.

EMPOWER EMPLOYEESCastNET solutions help organizations be more profitable and productive without the need to hire additional staff or design resources. By delegating content updates to a variety of employees, CastNET avoids having only one person do all the work andbecome an information bottleneck. It gives employees that are best suited to update specific content the ability to login using any web browser and see only what they are responsible for updating. This way, the Front Desk or Marketing can update lobby signage for visitors while Admin, HR, IT, etc. can update signage for employees.

CASTNET CLOUDCastNET Cloud offers all the benefits of enterprise class digital signage without the need to invest in high-end server hardware. Unlike CastNET Enterprise, CastNET Cloud does not require a PC server on-site to send content to player PCs at each screen. With CastNET Cloud, the server is located at our secure off-site data center and content is sent directly to the on-site players. Our annual contracts make it easy to maintain and scale your digital signage deployment without any long term hardware investment.
