Digitalization can be time-consuming, as it often goes hand in hand with major adjustments to the processes involved. On the one hand, this is of course an opportunity to optimize and improve business processes, but on the other hand, it also creates a high degree of complexity, so that it is not uncommon for a lot of time to pass before you can see presentable results!
One process that can be digitalized very easily, quickly and without much effort is the traditional blackboard, which is found in almost every organization: with a digital blackboard, a digital screen replaces the classic bulletin board. It can be a conventional (non-interactive) screen that is used to communicate information to employees, customers or visitors, or an interactive touch screen that allows users to access the information they need.
Both versions can be easily implemented using the FrontFace digital signage software. In addition to a screen with or without touch function and a suitable wall mount, a mini PC is required on which the software is installed.
With FrontFace, the screen can be split as required to display a wide variety of content, such as images, videos, websites, text or PDF documents. More specialized content such as date/time or a scrolling news ticker can also be easily integrated.
With the Print2Screen function, FrontFace also offers a particularly helpful function: content from any Windows application with a print function can be integrated directly. This eliminates the need to export and cache PDF files. Thanks to this feature, even previous workflows based on printing notices can be retained unchanged and still be 100% digital.
Another advantage of this approach is that users can continue to use their favorite applications to create content, such as Word, Excel or PowerPoint, as well as specialized applications (e.g. for creating rosters, etc.).
As FrontFace does not require any programming knowledge, users with normal IT skills can also work with the software! The user interface is very clear and intuitive.
A free, fully functional trial version of FrontFace is available on the mirabyte homepage, which allows you to create an attractive digital blackboard in just a few minutes.
