C-nario, a global provider of digital signage software solutions, and CTV, a leading integrator of digital signage and media management, today announced that they have completed a country-wide digital signage network at Israel Discount Bank, Israel’s third largest bank. The network is based on C-nario Messenger, C-nario’s flagship digital signage platform.
The new network is C-nario and CTV’s largest joint project in the banking industry. Previously, both companies collaborated on a digital signage project at Israel Mercantile Bank.
The network includes the bank’s headquarters and 140 branches. Each branch has between 1-6 screens, and may receive various combinations of video and audio channels, based on its location and various other criteria. The Network Operations Center (NOC) is operated by CTV and is located at CTV’s headquarters.
Content is generated mainly by CTV, and partially by the bank. Content includes marketing information promoting the bank and its services, atmosphere clips, music channels and external resources – such as news feeds from the Web and from Israel’s Channel 2 (TV), broadcast four times a day.
In addition to customer-oriented content, the bank’s digital signage network includes internal communications and e-learning programs. Once a week, the bank produces an internal news program for employees.
“The digital signage network enables us to communicate better with our customers, providing them with updated information about the bank’s various services and programs,” said Roni Peled, Advertising and Marketing Manager, Israel Discount Bank. “The network helps us stay competitive and meet our business challenges, using advanced technologies.”
The entire network was deployed in a record time of two months. “The project was deployed automatically from the NOC, by sending a dedicated installation patch that collected the local specifications from each branch server, and conducted the installation automatically,” said Adit Landau, CTV Acting CEO. “CTV made a strategic decision to replace its former digital signage software, and offer C-nario as part of its integrated digital signage solution. We consider C-nario’s software to be a world-leading digital signage platform. For CTV, as a media and integration market leader, it was important to choose a software platform that would meet our standard of service, and our clients’ expectations.”
“The banking industry is rapidly becoming aware of how digital signage can provide an extremely valuable business and internal communications resource for their everyday needs,” said Yael Elstein, C-nario’s Vice President Marketing. “C-nario has been in the forefront of finding creative ways to use digital signage as a powerful medium for the banking industry.”
