Vernon Slack, director of business development, will be discussing the importance of choosing commercial hardware in a Digital Signage implementation and share more insights on implementation costs and more.”
“The most important cost measurement in purchasing digital signage solutions is the Total Cost of Ownership,” said Vernon Slack. “If you purchase equipment that runs cool and can be managed remotely, you will see significant savings. If you purchase “consumer” equipment you will save a few dollars on your capital expenditure but nothing like the money saved on service and performance of a commercial grade solution.”
