The challenge.
WVU was looking to update their pre-existing content management solution. They needed additional flexibility within the template management and scheduling functions as well as the ability to leverage interactivity for donor recognition and hall of fame projects. The University also wanted to enable building-specific wayfinding.
With legacy hardware and software in place at the time, WVU needed a Windows-based Content Player solution that was able to access live SQL databases and had the ability to continue to play timely information—even if the player lost internet connectivity.
The new Content Management software also needed to be flexible enough to play multiple unique templates based on time of day, location and interactive functionality.
What needed to be done:
- Leverage live data feeds to ensure content remains relevant
- Enable different user groups to easily contribute content
- Create an engaging and intuitive digitally integrated campus
