New Tiered Solutions
We are excited to announce that beginning January 19, 2026, our new Tiered Solutions offers flexible, scalable options to meet the unique needs of campus units—delivering streamlined experiences, cost savings, and improved support. See our full announcement.
The Digital Signage service, provided by Information and Technology Services, enables impactful visual communication across a wide range of campus environments. Our digital signs support static and dynamic content, integrate emergency alerts, and offer options for mapping and interactive wayfinding. We provide tailored solutions to address the varying complexities of digital signage management, ensuring you receive the right level of support for your needs.
The service is offered using a “screens as a service” model. This approach ensures a predictable and consistent budget and significantly reduces the management responsibilities of your department.
ITS Digital Signage at U-M provides:
- Customizable and all-inclusive rates that cover the total cost of ownership, including hardware refresh, software licensing, and ongoing support. The hardware and software was pre-negotiated in bulk, offering cost savings at scale.
- Standardized, secure, and reliable hardware packages (including freestanding kiosks and wall-mounted displays) that are pre-configured and ready to use upon installation.
- Flexible service Tiered Solutions to meet varying communication needs, from simplified content management using the familiar Google Slides tool to advanced options utilizing the robust Poppulo Four Winds Content Management System (Four Winds).
- End-to-end service support including ITS-managed hardware lifecycle, remote monitoring, and automatic updates, ensuring compatibility and stability.
The ITS Digital Signage team is available to discuss which flexible hardware and content management approach makes sense to accommodate your department's unique communication needs, time commitment, and staff involvement.
