The migration and transition from on-premise signage to the FourWinds Cloud environment will be managed in several phases. You may want to request an account with Four Winds Interactive to access their documentation.
Phase 1: Migrate all current signs to the cloud environment
This phase is the most urgent and time sensitive in the process. With the retirement of Box in September, all content needs to be moved to a new location. Beginning in July 2021, members of the migration team will work with units to migrate and transfer their existing signs and content to the new FWI Cloud system. Details about how this migration will take place and any required action by the individual units will be coming soon.
Signs will continue to be maintained by the individual units using that unit’s current processes. The only major change in this phase will be where content is stored.
Phase 2: Centralize digital signage as a service
This phase will take place over time and will allow Penn State to offer digital signage as more of a centralized service to units. Potential features of this include:
- Standard template options available to all units
- Standardized computers to use for content players
- Single point of contact for signage related questions and issues.
