After a lot of years in this business I was asked this question; what is the one big mistake that is made with Digital Sign deployments? I could probably list about fifty common usage mistakes, but I had to give the single biggest one. When I broke down all the types of mistakes it looks [...]
Digital signage can be as simple as one region with a single piece of full screen content, or hundreds of regions that all work in correlation with one another to create dynamic interactive kiosks. Both sides of the spectrum, as different as they may be, it’s important to know your properties. This is especially critical [...]
Just like a website, many Digital Sign systems seem to suffer from neglect. I’ve never been a fan of changing things for no good reason, but adding fresh content and updated information is never bad.

Some hospitals and clinics receive a tremendous number of patients. It is not uncommon for patients to wait for an hour or longer just to register. Unfortunately, this delays them from receiving medical attention.
