ORGANIZATIONAL PROFILE
The University of Northern Colorado (UNC) is a public, doctoral research and educational institution that’s home to about 9,000 students and more than 200 undergraduate and graduate programs, many of which are nationally recognized.
THE CHALLENGE
UNC’s digital signage system was outdated and difficult to use. Some tasks required up to 24 steps, discouraging users from creating even the simplest messages. What’s more, the system often required USB drives to load content onto signs.
The College of Business was the primary user of this legacy system since the complexity deterred other colleges from adopting digital signage. These roadblocks caused two major issues: Screens frequently displayed outdated information and students faced communication gaps while navigating campus.
UNC prioritized better communication and engagement with students and the Greeley community, along with upgraded technology. The university needed a user-friendly digital signage solution that could easily integrate with its other systems and scale as they grew.
UNC’s goals were to:
THE SOLUTION
After an extensive search for a new digital signage provider with a scalable platform, UNC chose Appspace. The platform offered UNC flexible centralized management and control of posted content. It also provided a user-friendly interface, customizable templates, and easy integration with other systems.
UNC also needed Appspace to integrate with its class scheduling software, 25Live. The Appspace team used 25Live’s Publisher feature to feed the data into Webview Cards, resulting in a near-real- time integration that showcases class schedules and event information on digital signage across the university.
THE RESULTS
UNC’s team was impressed with the overall implementation and the Appspace team’s knowledge and responsiveness. The 25Live integration meant up-to-date class schedules and other information was displayed throughout the campus. Overall, the university has saved resources due to the integration with other systems and the availability of APIs for further customization.
The highly-visible success of the Appspace digital signage implementation has helped UNC overcome skepticism in other departments, resulting in 72 digital signs across campus and growing. With their digital signage flawlessly displaying class schedules, campus events, athletics information, and performing arts updates across campus, UNC is now evaluating how Appspace can further enhance the campus experience for all.
