Challenges faced by schools and universities...
No matter the size of the institution, it's easy to imagine the various environments and the communication each one should receive.
For example, in classrooms and common areas, the announcements made to students and teachers differ from those made at the administration office. Additionally, not all environments require just a speaker, an LED panel, or both, as each has its own particularity.
An announcement directed to one area may not fit another, such as safety instructions for students during their breaks and free periods or even the ambiance in “N” places.
However, managing these hardware devices and what will be disseminated in each environment becomes an almost impossible task when done manually or with limitations. Therefore, it is important to invest in software that not only optimizes your team's tasks but also automates all processes.
Discover SIMM.PRO
SIMM.PRO Media Under Control is the most comprehensive media management software on the market. It allows for the control of all announcements made throughout the day, month, or year at once in an agile and proactive manner, facilitating your operation.
And when we talk about announcements, we are not only referring to audio ones. We are also talking about announcements that can be issued through text or via LED devices.
Moreover, SIMM.PRO has advanced and exclusive features for scheduling media, events, and various other functionalities that you can only find in it.
But before we discuss some of its functions, we will show the importance of investing in the management of your speakers and LED panels. Let's go?
Benefits of media management
To better understand the benefits of managing IP audio and LED displays in your business, we will provide some examples of applications that may seem simple but make a significant difference in daily operations.
Let's consider the environments of a university. It has various zones that need different information. For example, the administration office serves both students and for recruiting new enrollments, so we understand that the flow of people coming in and out is large, and audio announcements may not be heard, which is why using and managing LED panels is so important.
Additionally, we also have school environments as an example. They have various zones, and their announcements typically require periodic repetitions, often every hour. Scheduling each of these announcements would take a lot of time and effort, something that with SIMM.PRO could be resolved in just a few minutes.
These conveniences optimize the daily operations of operators and even enhance the experience of students and staff at your institution. Of course, these are just a few examples; SIMM.PRO applies to various segments of different sizes, such as:
- Hospitals
- Shopping malls
- Train, subway, monorail stations...
- Supermarkets
- Corporations and offices
- Amusement, leisure, water parks...
- Zoos
- Airports and bus stations
- Stadiums and many others
What are its differentiators?
It's not enough to say that the solution is good; we must show its differentiators and level of excellence. And that's what we will do now!
The main differentiator of SIMM.PRO is the ability to integrate both speakers and LED panels and make them work together or even separately.
In addition to being intuitive, it has various conveniences for registering hardware and for possible future changes. For example, when registering a device in the system, it is possible to specify whether it is an audio or text output, whether it is active or inactive, and its manufacturer.
In the zone registration, we can indicate whether that area is active or inactive and select a primary leader speaker – the one that will receive the information and disseminate the content among the others in the same zone – and a backup speaker – which will take over if the leader is not functioning.
And there's more; it is possible to create multiple zones and install up to 200 speakers within each one, but if the equipment is analog, there is no such limit.
In addition to its advanced features, such as the ability to schedule an event through external integrations.
There are so many features that it's hard to list them all, but here are a few:
- Internal audio recording feature;
- Feature to pause and reactivate schedules;
- Media storage repository (by folders and subfolders);
- Failover feature for speakers within the same zone;
- Monitoring of media played in the last 24 hours and scheduled for the next 24 hours;
- Scheduling of daily, weekly, monthly, and annual repetitions selecting the desired days with intervals of repetitions between minutes or hours, and much more;
