Appspace + BrightSign: Reliable digital signage media players with less support work
Your workplace screens need useful content and dependable playback. Appspace and BrightSign bring those jobs together, so you can keep employees informed with less day-to-day IT support work.
Appspace Signage gives your team the tools to create signage content and manage devices at scale. Meanwhile, BrightSign’s digital signage media players reliably deliver that content to screens across your real estate footprint.
Here’s what your teams stand to gain from the partnership between Appspace and BrightSign.
For Comms teams: Put the right content on the right screens
A company-wide announcement belongs on every screen, while a local shift update should only go to the places it matters. Your team can manage both from the same platform.
Your team can use Appspace’s content templates, scheduling, and location targeting to send the right content to each site. BrightSign players deliver that content on connected displays, whether they’re in office lobbies, on factory floors, or in employee breakrooms. Everyone gets relevant, on-time information delivered right where they work.
Appspace’s user roles and publishing controls give local teams room to contribute, while IT keeps control of system settings and permissions. That means a routine content change doesn’t need to become an IT request.
For technology teams: Manage players without the on-site visits
Every trip to fix errors and outages increases the cost of your signage deployment. BrightSign’s digital signage media players are designed to minimize your team’s on-site visits.
BrightSign devices are fanless and tested for burn-in during production. They also run BrightSignOS, an operating system built specifically for commercial signage instead of general-purpose consumer devices. Qualifying BrightSign players receive five years of warranty support.
When a digital signage media player goes offline, Appspace sends an alert, and your team can check a real-time screenshot and reboot the player from their desk. During network drops, screens keep playing cached content. BrightSign players also automatically restart after power loss, so your team doesn’t have to travel on-site just to hit a power button.
Your team can run more in-depth diagnostics using BrightSign Control, BrightSign’s free digital signage device management tool. And when you’re dealing with whole groups of screens, Appspace enables bulk restarts and scheduled app updates.
For security teams: Signage built with security in mind
New players likely need to pass a security review before they join your network.
BrightSign players run only BrightSign-signed code, with debug ports switched off in production. There’s no app store on the player, so the attack surface stays narrow. And BrightSign rolls out continuous OS updates and patches.
Appspace uses SSO and SCIM provisioning to tie signage access into common identity tools. Role-based access keeps system settings separate from content work. Your team can choose to enable or disable AI features for certain users or roles.

Signage that’s ready to grow
Different workplace screens have different jobs. For example, your lobby might feature a video wall, a signage player, and an interactive directory.
BrightSign’s range of players provides hardware options for these kinds of uses. Your team manages those experiences through Appspace. As you add more devices and use cases, you maintain a common approach to content management and player support.
