Enhancing Reliability with Cloud-Based Digital Signage
Almost every large company we work with has tried digital signage before, but reliability is the recurring issue. I heard of an IT engineer doing a 400-mile round trip just to push an HDMI cable in further. The huge ROI saving with modern cloud-based digital signage is remote management—troubleshooting from afar without sending overstretched IT teams on the road.
Key Takeaways
- Reliability challenges force costly on-site IT interventions (400-mile trips for cable fixes)
- Cloud-based solutions enable remote device management and troubleshooting
- Significant ROI from eliminating unnecessary travel and physical interventions

Almost every large company that we work with at ScreenCloud has tried to use digital signage before or is currently using digital signage. Very, very few people have never put screens up and tried to use them to communicate. When we talk to IT managers and administrators, one of the big issues is reliability. Screens go in every single location, but IT tends to be quite centrally managed or in hubs and not necessarily on the ground everywhere. I heard one story of an IT engineer having to do a 400-mile round trip just to push an HDMI cable in a little bit further. This is extremely costly, and sometimes it's done with contractors. And so a huge ROI saving when using modern cloud-based digital signage like ScreenCloud is in the reliability. The ability to remotely manage all of those devices, to know what's going on and to troubleshoot from afar and not have to send your IT team, who are already really far too busy and should be doing better things, out on the road just to push cables in and turn screens on and off.
