The University of Wisconsin-Stout has installed a digital signage software system from StrandVision LLC in its Millennium Hall technology services building.
The signage, displayed on 52-inch digital monitors, is in the building's two main lobbies. It displays announcements, lab and help desk hours, a building directory and weather with Doppler radar, as well as a special Internet-based technology news feed.
"The decision [to install digital signage] was based on StrandVision's Software as a Service (SaaS) model that minimizes hardware and networking investments and overhead, as well as day-to-day computer security and maintenance tasks," said Mike Strand, StrandVision founder and CEO, Menomonie, Wis.
The system is hosted by StrandVision, and the pages are delivered directly to the UW-Stout digital signage system over the Internet.
