The University of Greenwich has three campuses in South-East London and North Kent.
The University wanted a way of presenting visual information to staff and visitors across all three campuses, and to give staff and students a better idea of what goes on at other campuses – to improve the feeling of community.
Historically, communications for staff and students have taken the form of traditional printed posters and leaflets. The Service Development & Communications team realised that digital signage would fulfil the University’s requirements for better communications, and having selected Uniguest, tested the system and have gradually rolling it out across the University.
The team currently manages the digital signage content but, as the system evolves, this will be delegated to others across the three campuses.
We were impressed when
we came across Uniguest.
The browser based CMS
while easy to navigate
is powerful enough to
manage multiple players in
diverse locations, reducing
the need for a physical
presence near the displays.
Another crucial feature
is the ability to devolve
content management to
various members of a digital
signage team.
The University has the Uniguest Content Management System (CMS) and a Uniguest 4K player driving a 3 x 2 video wall in the main reception at Greenwich. Different zones display bus and train travel information, students’ work and event-specific information. An RSS feed at the bottom shows BBC news.
There are also two other screens within the building showing department-specific information, and that will be able to show data extracted from the University’s website.
