Challenge
Our client is a leading media and marketing company based out in Texas, USA who wanted to develop a Web Application to centrally manage a network of widely distributed Digital Signage Systems. The client required application development to dynamically display various digital signage at a scheduled time on their LED displays.

Key challenges of the project were:
- Communication barrier between the web application and the player software
- Varied screen size content of the Digital signage, consistent size ratio was missing
- Type conversation of media for installed player software
- Pull out content, display content and send the log to control system was also a challenge
