Release Date - 18/03/2010
Faced with the need to provide effective daily communication around a large campus, Gareth Jones at the Academy of St. Francis of Assisi investigated digital signage software for use on large LCD screens strategically placed in the academy’s entrance foyer and prominent in a busy corridor leading to the dining area to convey messages and information to pupils, visitors and staff.
The solution chosen was Image Flyer by Sedao under a site licence that allows the software to be used on as many displays as desired without additional cost. Gareth’s reasons for the choice were clear: “We wanted an economical, easy to use package that enables key staff to make instant updates over a network from wherever they happen to be, without learning new software or using a dedicated workstation and one that could be extended in the future. An alternative package we evaluated cost several thousand pounds and had far less functionality."
