Network Manager is at the heart of the ComQi Network Management Platform and responds to the demands of digital signage network operators looking to maximize revenue and profitability by maximizing network uptime and minimizing cost. It acknowledges that, in order to maximize both customer satisfaction and profitability, screen failure must be identified immediately – and resolved instantly. Robust, consistent and intuitive, Network Manager delivers the visibility and tools necessary to maximize network value.
Network Manager monitors the digital signage network, monitoring performance from end to end, identifying failures and providing the tools necessary to take fast remedial action. It answers questions like “Is the screen working?”, “Is the correct content being shown?” and “Is the quality of the output acceptable?”
A Business Logic API ensures that Network Manager is business-centric – not network-centric. Business processes and requirements are simply and consistently translated into network execution, providing centralized management and uniformity and consistency of implementation and eliminating the need for understanding of network detail.
Proprietary digital signage network management systems typically limit the operator’s choice of network-attached devices, limiting flexibility and scalability. Network Manager is ‘hardware agnostic’: heterogeneous networks are possible, and change and growth are easily accommodated.
Through its Web Services interface, Network Manager enables integration with management services and applications, including CMS (Content Management System applications), NMS (Network Management System applications), BPM (Business Process Management services), Web Portal front-ends, business intelligence and billing applications. The result? Optimum.
Network Manager delivers the tools necessary to enable digital signage network operators to maximize return on investment. Easy to use and quick to implement, its remote monitoring capabilities allied to sophisticated tools for remote remedial action reduces costs, while the ability to ensure quality content delivery at all times delivers maximum customer satisfaction and maximum revenue.
