Many companies are jumping into the fast growing Digital Signage market with unfinished solutions. They use a PC as player platform and sell a rudimentary Digital Signage Software (Content Management Software) that simply brings content from A to B. After a few weeks of usage, the downfalls of these systems become obvious and the purchase turns out to be a costly mistake.

WORLD-OF-SCREENS takes a different approach. We start with a tailor made hardware for Digital Signage and our easy-to-use Digital Signage Software, DS-gate, modeled after real world usage scenarios.
