EDHEC acquires Neoscreen… for a second time
POWERFUL SOFTWARE THAT CAN BE RE-USED FROM ANYWHERE
The context
EDHEC turned to us for internal use of our Neoscreen software on 3 of its campuses: Lille, Paris and Nice. The school currently has 90 players on its three campuses. After more than 12 years of mutual trust, EDHEC is returning to Iagona for the latest version of Neoscreen to perpetuate this internal communication between students, teachers and school staff.
The issue
RETURN TO HIGH-PERFORMANCE SOFTWARE
EDHEC has been using our Neoscreen digital signage software for almost 12 years. In 2009, when the solution was first installed, the school wanted to deploy it on its own server (on premise) with players already in place. Over time, and with the lack of maintenance, content management became more difficult. What’s more, since access to the back office was on their server, they needed to be on campus to update the content.
As EDHEC uses this solution to communicate with students and lecturers, it was essential that the solution was functional and could be updated quickly.
The Iagona solution
NEOSCREEN
Initially, Iagona had to update the entire fleet. To do this, all the hardware was replaced, to facilitate maintenance.
Next, the players were deployed with the new version of the Neoscreen software, hosted as a SaaS solution by Iagona, guaranteeing enhanced IT security for the fleet. What’s more, this latest version provides access to the latest features and connected services offered by the solution. An additional advantage when it comes to creating new messages.
The digital signage solution is now being used as originally intended by EDHEC. It is mainly used to broadcast information about courses, room schedules and the presence of lecturers.
Digital signage is also used to promote internal campus activities, such as events organised by student associations.
The software is highly appreciated for its quick and easy updates, as well as its accessibility from any location with an internet connection (no need to be on campus to modify information).
Today, the communications department can connect to the interface from anywhere in order to update the broadcast playlists. This makes communication much easier, especially at off-campus events such as open days and meetings. These events allow the necessary information to be communicated without the added stress of updating the media.
The digital signage solution makes everyday life easier for everyone on campus, and is greatly appreciated by students, lecturers and staff alike.
