Sign of the times? Digital Signage

While Digital Signage has become a staple marketing tactic for many larger organisations, it’s struggled to make an impact further down the food chain. But with the promise of dynamic content, true accountability, and strong ROI, that’s changing fast.

It’s no good; we’re going to have to fess up. We know it’s rather ugly and unbecoming, and we’re not proud of it, but it seems we’ve succumbed to technology envy. There. We’ve said it. The reason behind this sudden (not to say disturbing) green glint in iQ’s eye? Digital Signage.

Specifically, that everyone seems to be installing it these days except us. Banks, retailers, the Post Office, cinemas, football stadia. They’re all busy mounting flat screens on every available wall and filling them with high-quality value-added and marketing content. Hell, even London Underground looks to have caught on. It’s started lining escalators with tellies for commuters to deface rather than just posters.

Problem is, not being a retailer or a bank or whatever, and not having too many escalators around the place, iQ doesn’t really have the need. Oh well. Lots of other businesses do though. And, for the first time, Digital Signage (DS) is starting to look like a realistic, affordable, attractive, and even profitable investment even for those without £multi-million budgets and hundreds of outlets. A far cry from the costly, complex, often difficult to justify DS solutions of only a few years back.

The reasons are manifold. Plasma and LCD display pricing continues to fall (solutions are now available at sub-£2,000 prices for a single networked screen and software); content is getting faster, slicker, and easier to create and manage; and there’s more and more cheap bandwidth available to deliver it. The management overhead is shrinking too, with one person feasibly able to control hundreds and potentially thousands of DS locations and their content.

Some arguments for DS are more familiar than others. Control, speed, flexibility; the power and immediacy of message. But other, less immediately obvious, benefits are coming to the fore too. As David Smith IT director at Samsung explains: “With DS you have content control, instant delivery, there’s no labour involved, and it’s more visually stimulating too.  But there’s a carbon footprint element as well, because you’re not having to print stuff, send it, and then tear it up.” A further benefit is the power to reach customers without the usually requisite unwieldy, expensive marketing machine. “If you knew you could sit there and broadcast content of very high quality to different locations at different times on demand… it’s like having your own mini marketing company”, adds Smith.

The fact that up to 75% of purchasing decisions are made at point of sale (PoS) according to research, provides another powerful DS argument. “In France, this is known as the ‘Croissant Effect'”, says Frederic Groussolles of Cisco Systems.

“You walk past the bakery, see, the croissants, smell the croissants, and make that instant purchasing decision.” Average spend on PoS advertising has been as little as 5% of total advertising budgets up until now, but as more businesses buy into DS and the like this is predicted to rise to around $ 14.6bn within four years according to iSuppli. “We believe that it (DS) is the future for media owners”, says Alex Johns, MD of iblink.

“There are 700,000 ‘six sheets’ (large poster sites) in Europe which are owned probably by the 3 top media owners – the likes of CBS, Clear channel, Titan, and JCDecaux. They’ve realised there isn’t any more room for ‘six sheets’ and so they’re constantly looking for the next big thing. The next big thing is digital so they’re going around and replacing their existing six sheets with digital versions.”

Of course, different DS networks are launched with different objectives in mind, with some simply aiming to deliver a better customer experience. But for others, says Brian Boakes, director of Strategic Marketing at EnQii, it’s possible to underpin the business case with the promise of advertising revenue, with retailer benefits such as sales uplift, and even with a combination of the two. “In terms of ROI, perhaps the most obvious example is Wal-Mart where their deployment of 3,000 screens in the US has added 2% to total gross sales”, he says.

Nick Deen, senior market development manager with Sony Professional Solutions Europe, sees there being big take-up in two areas especially – banking and postal segments, and sports-entertainment, such as stadiums and music venues. One of his biggest customers is La Post of France, with the postal company using DS in all outlets around the country, with more than 5,000 screens. “This is the largest DS network in Europe”, he says. “They use this screen solution to communicate other servers the company offers and to shorten the perceived queue-time.”

Venue Solutions, one of the companies behind Arsenal FC’s triumphant move to DS (if not necessarily to the Emirates Stadium), is currently trialling counter-television at a major UK-wide plumbing group and is already seeing promotions more readily accepted as a result.

“Even the most complex products, explained and supported by digital signage content are understood and bought more readily”, says Roger Saunt, head of sales with the company. And it’s no longer just early adopters such as supermarkets that are driving DS uptake in the retail environment, according to Saunt. Specialist retailers such as trade suppliers and merchants are also stimulating growth.

With this in mind, he says, DS is likely so powerful and ubiquitous that, in the longer term, firms that elect not to adopt some manner of DS-based advertising and marketing strategy could find themselves marginalised. However, he warns, ‘technology jewellery’ simply will not do – to prove its worth and gain real traction, DS has to perform a specific, tangible business function. “Having screens won’t increase revenues; become but what’s on them can. The content must not confuse the viewer and must have a clear call to action.”

Which brings us back to the familiar old mantra of content being king. And though it’s a little hackneyed, it’s also true. As Tesco discovered to its cost not so long ago, it’s a mistake to look at and treat DS like straight television for instance. Content that works well on a screen in one environment won’t necessarily work well in another, so there are a number of factors that must be considered. The starting point, says Boakes, is to gain a thorough understanding of both the objectives of the network and the audience that will be viewing and interacting with the screens. “Once these strategic questions are answered, a content ‘channel’ strategy should be created that delivers content that is engaging and relevant to the audience ‘journey’ and frame of mind”.

Digital Signage Media Player Selection Guide

Digital signage is a fast evolving industry gifted by many new digital media technologies coming on the scene. From the traditional proof-of-concept pilots using personal computers (PCs and Macs), new advances are making it far cheaper and reliable to deploy highly capable media appliances built using the latest multimedia chips.

An example of a media appliance is the latest Apple TV device which sells for $ 99 (greatly subsidized by revenue from iTunes) and plays vivid 720p HD content. The device is not designed to be easily customized for digital signage applications. So while it offers great technology for a very low cost, the Apple TV is probably not a viable option if you are looking to deploy the device in a digital signage network.

There are a number of media appliances coming on the scene that ship with proprietary digital signage software. The NXDS600 from Noxel AG of Switzerland is one such device. The devices feature similar hardware found in consumer media players such as the Apple TV, but in a ruggedized metal or aluminum enclosure for better heat dissipation. The key concern with these devices is that you are locked into the software provided by the box maker. If you find the software insufficient, you will have to throw out the hardware when you try to switch the software.

One new category of media appliances appears to address the above concerns. Using the same or higher-end core engine as the Apple TV, wrapped up in industrial enclosure, these devices further feature an “Open API” based on open standards such as the XML-based W3C SMIL format to provide a free, non-proprietary programming interface to access the underlying hardware. Companies including IAdea and Viewsonic make a number of open API media appliances available at a very attractive price point.

Many digital signage software companies have announced support for open API media appliances, including Scala, signagelive, digitalsignage.NET (from Dynamax), etc., providing you a great selection of software options to run your media appliance-based network.

Open API further gives you the opportunity to implement custom software on-top of media appliances. For the market of digital signage, this possibility provides the maximum room for you to add value to your project.

Digital signage media appliance with open API combines power and economy in a very flexible package. It is arguably the best hardware option if you are a system integrator, IT manager, or venue owner looking to leverage the latest and best technology available for your project.

Palomar Health Now Testing DIRECT Messaging Technology for Secure Exchange of Patient Information among Health Care Providers

San Diego, Calif. (PRWEB) April 16, 2013

Palomar Health, the largest health care district in California, is piloting a clinical messaging infrastructure that enables the secure exchange of electronic health record information across its 2,200-square mile trauma area in Southern California.

The system uses the DIRECT Project’s protocols for secure messaging and the HPDPlus specifications for online physician directories, which have been proposed as national standards to facilitate secure patient data exchange among independent health care providers.

The participating health care organizations include all three Palomar Health hospitals- the new Palomar Medical Center and Palomar Health Downtown Campus in Escondido and Pomerado Hospital in Poway, in addition to Arch Health Partners, the Arthritis Care and Research Center, Escondido Pulmonology Medical Group, Graybill Medical Group, North County Internists, and Palomar Medical Group. The outpatient facilities range from solo practitioners to large multi-specialty physician groups.

“We believe the potential of the DIRECT Project and HPDPlus standards has yet to be fully realized, and we seek to explore the utility of these standards in our community, as well as explore ways in which they may be improved,” Palomar Health Chief Innovation Officer Orlando Portale said. “In particular, we want to establish a reference model for DIRECT Messaging that could be shared with other healthcare organizations throughout California.”

The technologies being piloted enable the secure electronic delivery of inpatient and emergency department discharge summaries to primary care physicians, as well as the exchange of referral requests and consult notes between primary care physicians and specialists.

“It is exciting to see the first stages of the exchange of health information within our physician and healthcare community,” stated Alan Conrad, M.D., Managing Partner of North County Internists in Poway.

The purpose of the pilot is to assess the feasibility and soundness of the DIRECT and HPDPlus standards as the bases for a practical, cost-effective, and non-proprietary infrastructure for health information exchange (HIE) within and among medical communities, Portale said.

The pilot is primarily funded by a grant from the California Health Care Foundation under a contracting agreement with Sujansky and Associates, both based in Northern California, to provide project management and software integration services. Other organizations that have contributed technology and expertise include GSI Health in Philadelphia, Mirth Corporation in Costa Mesa and Sparseware in Carlsbad.

“This project is a great opportunity for the Palomar Health community and the broader HIE audience to road test the DIRECT Messaging model,” Sujansky and Associates President Walter Sujansky said. “We expect the project to show the value of DIRECT Messaging today, as well as the ways the model may be improved in the future.”

For more information about the project, please visit: http://www.sujansky.com/projects_DIRECT_pilot.html
