Signage at Scale

4 Reasons You Need MDM for Digital Signage

Organizations often rely on a wide mix of devices for digital signage – iPads in classrooms, Apple TVs in lobbies, Android players in offices, or BrightSign devices across campuses. Managing these at scale can quickly become complex, with IT teams spending extra time on manual updates and keeping an eye on security risks from unmanaged endpoints.

Let's look at 4 ways MDM helps you manage multiple devices.

Centralized Control & Remote Management

MDM provides centralized control for configuring and securing devices, while Carousel ensures they consistently deliver engaging, up-to-date signage. The result is a streamlined deployment where every screen stays compliant, reliable, and ready to communicate.

Enhanced Security & Compliance

Digital signage screens are often public-facing, which makes them targets for tampering or unauthorized access. MDM helps lock down devices, enforce security policies, and ensure they stay compliant with IT standards, keeping both content and data safe.

Streamlined Updates & Maintenance

Say goodbye to manual updates or on-site troubleshooting. MDM lets you roll out software patches, firmware updates, or app installs to every device at once. That means less downtime, fewer service calls, and lower maintenance costs.

Scalability & Flexibility

In a dynamic digital landscape, flexibility is paramount. Carousel has developed an innovative approach to Mobile Device Management (MDM) integrations, tailored to meet the diverse needs of organizations, ensuring that management remains streamlined and efficient regardless of the devices in use.

Secure, compliant, and consistent signage across all your devices.

Managing dozens – or even hundreds – of digital signage devices can be overwhelming, especially when those endpoints include a mix of iPads, Apple TVs, Android OS, BrightSign players, and many more. Carousel is designed to work seamlessly with your preferred Mobile Device Management (MDM) platform. Carousel provides setup instructions and provisioning codes to simplify the deployment of various devices. With MDM plus Carousel, your screens stay up-to-date, compliant, and are always ready to deliver the right message.
