In 2016, BCNET will launch a Digital Signage Shared Service for member institutions, leveraging a successful delivery model and a powerful, multi-tenant platform that has been used for a number of years at UBC and UVic. This session will illustrate how a close collaboration among communications and marketing staff, IT and university stakeholders has made digital signage a popular and effective communications channel at these schools. We will also review the BCNET service, and the additional value the service will bring to members a mature technical architecture, experienced application and business support, and volume-driven pricing.
