Safety
 Digital signage allows campuses to react in real-time to emergency situations with mass notification alerts. Compliance with the Clery Act in the U.S., and similar laws in Canada, demands that students, faculty, and staff be notified in a timely fashion in the case of an emergency.

Cost and Ease of Use
The price of software and hardware continues to come down while functionality and ease of use goes up. 10 to 15 percent of the initial investment is the software, the rest of the budget goes to hardware: PCs, networks, and screens. Ensure that the systems you put in place are scalable and will grow with your network over time.

Engage and Inform
Digital communications is the next big thing in delivering effective messaging, advertising, wayfinding and entertainment on campuses. Campus content may include RSS feeds (news, weather, social media), current activities, upcoming club events, menus at campus dining facilities, pictures from pub night, or screens welcoming guest speakers. Know what your message is, why you are conveying it, and who your target audience is.

Operational Efficiencies
An entire campus network can be customized, maintained and managed by one person, from one central location, from anywhere in the world. The days of printed posters and manual labour are becoming a thing of the past. Digital signage is an eco-friendly solution that resonates with students.
