Digital Signage for a direct and efficient communication

The local authorities are in close contact with citizens and companies and therefore are responsible for the supply of innovative services through the means of modern technology. Digital Signage dramatically improves the dialogue between citizens and local authorities, the integration with pre-existing Web services and the development of telematic cooperation between public institutions.

 

Promotion, communication and above all: integration
Web Signage integrates seamlessly to the pre-existent content management system. In the case of a website, this will be the source of information on public decisions, events and communication to the citizen. It’s just about integrating the redactional activity already done for the maintainance of the institutional website to deliver the content automatically to the displays.

Web Signage offers a simple and immediate way to do it, thanks to its ability to get the information from external data sources in XML format.

 

Typical information displayed

The model developed for the township of Tortorici includes:

  • Decisions by the local council
  • Municipal bylaws
  • Cultural initiatives
  • News from the local administration

For every category, the displays shows the data ciclically. On the bottom part of the screen, a ticker shows the local news. A specific module has been designed for elections, with a real time map of electoral results.

 

Advantages

The integration between the portal data and the displays is immediate and happens in real time. The same management console for the web content feeds the display. No more activity is requested and a multiplatform communication is integrated with a single editorial and publishing activity.
