Digitalization in the Enterprise: Digital Signage as a Key Component

Digitizing business processes offers great potential. However, it is important to ensure that employees are fully engaged in the digitalization strategy. In addition to the obvious tools such as the intranet or specific apps, there are many cases where employees do not have easy access to digital information. For example, in the production area, not every employee has a PC at his workplace. Providing tablets or mobile devices to all employees without exception is often has a high level of cost and administrative effort.

This is where "digital signage" comes into play: information of all kinds is made available on digital screens. As a replacement for the traditional bulletin board in the break room or the shop floor board in the factory, a screen as a digital bulletin board can provide information to employees faster, more targeted, and in an appealing way. Even real time data, such as KPI’s (key performance indicators) from the production planning system or reports from back end systems, can be integrated.

In addition to digital signage displays that simply display content, it is also possible to implement interactive systems using touch screens. This can be used to call up information or access documents such as instructions, guides, or manuals on demand.

With FrontFace digital signage and kiosk software, mirabyte offers a proven standard software solution by which companies can easily and independently implement professional digital signage solutions. Regardless of whether a single screen is to be used as a simple digital bulletin board or a complex display network, possibly even across multiple sites/locations, FrontFace provides a trouble free solution and can also be scaled quickly and easily as required.

The FrontFace software is available for Windows and Android and was designed with maximum independence in mind. This applies on the one hand to the choice of hardware (PCs, players, screens), where there are almost no restrictions for the customer. On the other hand, FrontFace is a so-called "on site" solution, which can be operated completely locally and does not require a mandatory cloud connection. This increases security, provides more control and, unlike traditional SaaS (Software as a Service) solutions, does not incur any ongoing costs.

FrontFace lets you combine any type of content and media into compelling playlists, dashboards, or interactive touchscreen menus. In addition to videos, websites and PDF documents, content from Office applications such as PowerPoint, Word or Excel is also supported. Other built-in features such as scrolling news tickers and a weather module round out the comprehensive feature set. If required, additional features such as calendar integration from Office 365 (Exchange or SharePoint), dashboards or highly specialized modules like an accident statistics board can be integrated via the plugin interface. With the plugin SDK (software development kit) you can even develop your own custom plugins!

Without external support or complicated training, companies can implement their own professional digital signage solution with FrontFace.

FrontFace can be downloaded for a free fourteen-day trial from the mirabyte website. In addition to video tutorials, step-by-step instructions for specific use cases are available to help you get started quickly.

The license price (per player/screen) is $629.95 USD. Volume discounts are available for three or more licenses. More information is available at http://www.mirabyte.com/en/frontface/
