Digital signage is an effective way to distribute news and campus information, and a linked network of displays controlled via our centralized content management system enables schools to easily and quickly offer updated content, said Ryan Cahoy of Rise Vision. While most schools use our solutions to display campus information, they like knowing they can also use the system to easily push out emergency messages and other critical information.
