Networked Corporate Communication Digital Signage

While innovation has been a driving force in the company’s growth for more than a century, Kellogg's intra-office and employee communications system was stuck somewhere in the '80s. Recognizing the importance of timely, uniform corporate communications throughout the enterprise, Kellogg’s updated its employee communications system with an enterprise-wide digital signage solution.

• Kellogg wanted to replace its outdated PowerPoint communications system that was cumbersome to use, low on quality, ignored by employees and frequently failed
• A robust, networked solution was needed to unify the company through cohesive communications that employees and visitors would find entertaining as well as educational
• Kellogg required a solution that was easy to use by non-technical staff and required minimal management by local personnel
