ANY SCREEN
ANY APPLICATION
A digital signage system is only effective if the content
it shows is kept up-to-date and relevant to your viewers.
Delegating who will update content is the most critical
factor for a successful digital signage deployment.
EMPOWER EMPLOYEES
CastNET solutions help organizations be
more profitable and productive without
the need to hire additional staff or design
resources. By delegating content updates
to a variety of employees, CastNET avoids
having only one person do all the work and
become an information bottleneck. It gives
employees that are best suited to update
specific content the ability to login using
any web browser and see only what they
are responsible for updating. This way, the
Front Desk or Marketing can update lobby
signage for visitors while Admin, HR, IT,
etc. can update signage for employees.
CASTNET CLOUD
CastNET Cloud offers all the benefits of
enterprise class digital signage without the
need to invest in high-end server hardware.
Unlike CastNET Enterprise, CastNET Cloud
does not require a PC server on-site to send
content to player PCs at each screen. With
CastNET Cloud, the server is located at
our secure off-site data center and content
is sent directly to the on-site players. Our
annual contracts make it easy to maintain
and scale your digital signage deployment
without any long term hardware investment.
