Administration is easy: The content is remotely controlled by the easy to use Display Assistant software.
FrontFace natively supports a wide range of common content formats. That is why you do not have to explicitly prepare the content for the use on public displays. You can easily integrate any existing content from the Web, e.g. your homepage, Website or Intranet (e.g. SharePoint)!
Fig.: The FrontFace Display Assistant helps you to manage and control your displays and display content So why not use your established Web CMS or Intranet software to create and manage the content on your displays? This saves extra costs for proprietary software and reduces the need for additional, expensive training courses for your staff in order to become familiar with the display content management.
Cool Feature: The unique Print2Screen feature of FrontFace allows creating display content directly with any Windows application that has a printing feature (e.g. Word, PowerPoint, etc.).Feature Overview:
