Digital Signage with SmilControl: How does it work?

If you want to offer your individual digital signage products or services, you are usually faced with the following choice:

Alternative 1: Develop Everything from Scratch

You develop or commission your software such as CMS, SMIL-Player, and other. Meanwhile, you test different devices, smart TVs, and monitors. In addition, you will build your server structures and develop content and content strategies for your customers. Furthermore, you will take care of sales, marketing, staff, training, support and much more.

You're reinventing the wheel!

Disadvantages:
  • Until your digital signage solution is ready, it takes a lot of time
  • High investment to create your own technologies and generate domain-specific experience
  • Developing, teaching and maintaining high-maintenance software involves unpredictable risks, responsibilities, and costs

Alternative 2: Find a Full-Service Provider

While you save on development effort, but your business model becomes dependent on one vendor

You get into a vendor lock-in!

Disadvantages:
  • You have to take what you're offered.
  • Implementing your specific features will be costly, if at all possible.
  • Combine products from different vendors (content management system, authoring tools, players, etc.), fails lacking compatibility.
  • Own technologies, such as a queue management or customer stopper systems to use, depends on the flexibility of the provider.
    As a rule, it will be difficult.
