What is cloud-based digital signage?

Imagine being able to control digital signage content from anywhere in the world. – Sounds pretty good, right?

That is what you get with a cloud-based digital signage solution.

When your digital signage software is cloud-based it means you have access to an online platform. Here you can manage all of your digital signage content.

This also means that you can access the platform from your computer and thereby manage your content from anywhere, as long as you have access to the internet.

The content you upload is stored on a server and, all the trouble of maintaining the software and servers is not your headache. That is done by your software provider.

Why You Should Use Cloud-Based Digital Signage

Why use cloud-based digital signage? – because it is smart!

The cloud-based digital signage platforms that are available nowadays makes your life easier. Why? – because it gives you an intuitive way to manage your content and screens without having to invest a lot of time or money.

With cloud-based digital signage, you no longer need an internal network or onsite servers. This means that even with a limited amount of technical know-how you can get a professional digital signage solution, that helps you optimize your communication.

Easy to get started

Opposite an on-premise digital signage platform, where you need a lot of expensive hardware, you only need three things to get started on your cloud-based digital signage solution:

  • A TV display for professional use
  • A plug-and-play media player
  • A Q-Play account/digital signage software

With these three things at hand, you are now the owner of your very own digital signage network. All you need to do from here is grab, design, and share your content.

Access your digital signage anywhere

One of the many advantages of a cloud-based digital signage solution is that you can access it from anywhere. With this feature, you can create, manage and update your content whenever and wherever you want. – As long as you have a stable internet connection.

This remote access feature also makes it possible for you to target a specific audience with information. With the online platform, you can easily push information and messages to screens located in different areas and at specific times, making your communication more timely, relevant, and targeted.

Lower upfront costs

A digital signage solution does not have to cost a fortune!

After the initial costs of acquiring the TV display and the media player, you only have your monthly subscription fee. – Which is almost equivalent to your monthly Netflix subscription.

Contrary to an on-premise digital signage platform, with a cloud-based solution, you do not need to invest in on-site servers or other expensive hardware, which also takes a lot of time to maintain.

Once you are up and running future software updates are free of charge. So you don’t have to spend extra money on keeping your solution up to date. Likewise, the support is included in your monthly fee.
