Management of players and digital signage screens

Players and digital signage screens have become strategic equipment. They are generally spread across the whole country, are often difficult to access and lack local maintenance resources. To avoid ‘black screen’ syndrome, malfunctions and security problems, it is essential to have a Device Management solution. The solution must allow the management and maintenance of this equipment’s critical elements, their security and enable action to be taken remotely at any time.
