Hangout Looks at Lifecycle Planning for Digital Signage
The Digital Signage Federation (DSF)invites DSF members and non-members alike, to attend its Jan. 13 “Hangout” panel discussion at 2 p.m. EST, on the topic of “Planning for the Lifecycle of a Digital Signage Network Infrastructure.”
Everyone who has oversight responsibility for or manages a digital signage communications network must at some point deal with the reality of not only planning for regular maintenance, but also consideration and budgeting for timely upgrades, enhancements and an occasional overall update to ensure that the deployed technologies do not become obsolete triggering a major overhaul.
Hangouts are 45-minute panel discussions using Google’s Hangout platform with a moderator and a panel of three or four industry professionals.
The panel comprised of Digital Signage professionals who are members of the DSF, will include:
- Dave Haar, director of business development, Brawn Consulting
- Tim Johnson, senior consultant-client development, YCD Multimedia
- Jay Leedy, vice president of sales, Diversified Media Group
In addition to sharing their guidance on network infrastructure planning, the Jan. 13 panel will explore:
- The frequency with which media players should be upgraded.
- The average lifespan of a LED display and how it can be prolonged.
- Strategies for upgrading browsers, software versions, operating systems, and more.
- How to stay current on design trends to ensure content doesn’t look dated.
- Tools to monitor uptime and head off potential failures before they happen.
More information on the Jan. 13 Hangout event or other DSF events can be found on the DSF website.
