If I wrote about all the version releases of CMS software platforms readers would greet all that with as much as enthusiasm as a lengthy explanation of how actuarial science is applied to risk management in the insurance industry. So I tend to skip past those press releases when they drop in my email inbox. BUT … I’ll cover some major releases, like one from the Hungarian/US digital signage firm Wallboard.
The company – head office in Dallas but coding in the Budapest area – has announced version 2.0 of its management software platform, bringing, it says, significant improvements to content management, deployment, and monitoring capabilities.
Wallboard 2.0 has several key enhancements:
- A redesigned UX with customizable views to simplify navigation and organization;
- Content management has been overhauled with improved playlisting, tagging, and a streamlined Channels editor, with these changes allowing teams to organize, update, and deploy content more efficiently and consistently;
- A new Quick Editor enables content adjustments without users needing to navigate through more complex interfaces.
On the technical side, Wallboard 2.0 has:
- Advanced filtering for faster content discovery;
- Built-in training tools to help teams get up to speed;
- Enhanced proof-of-play reporting;
- Improved device monitoring capabilities.
The Channels feature has also been redesigned to simplify content distribution at scale. This system, the company says, now follows a straightforward logic of “when to play, what to play, and where to play it,” making automated content distribution more manageable.
