World's Largest Re-insurer Relies on Media POD to Keep Students on Schedule
Swiss Re
uses the Keywest Technology’s Media POD to welcome students to its training
academy and keep them informed of their class schedules and locations.
Swiss Re, the largest re-insurer in the world, is welcoming
visitors to its Overland Park,
KS, complex and keeping them
informed of class schedules for its American component of the Swiss Re Academy with help from Keywest
Technology point of decision digital signage controllers.
Currently five of eight Keywest Technology Media PODs –one
each per plasma display- are used to welcome and guide (wayfinding) visitors as they step off
elevators on various floors of the complex and to post class times outside
meeting rooms.
Swiss Re, which recently relocated its Academy from Kansas City, MO,
to the new complex, will put the other three into service once it’s fully
operational at its new facility.
The company uses Keywest Technology’s digital signage editor
software to schedule playback of Microsoft PowerPoint slides on the plasma
displays. According to Swiss Re technology leader Rusty Porter, the editor
software is easy to set up and use. That’s important because thousands of
employees visit the Swiss Re Academy annually, each needing an up-to-date listing
of class schedules and locations.
At Swiss Re’s Overland
Park facility, most the Keywest Technology controllers
are located in equipment racks or tucked conveniently and unobtrusively into
the back of the plasma display panels. Schedules and content are updated and
uploaded via the corporate network as required.
While
the digital signage controllers and software have proven to be reliable and
easy to use, the few times the company has needed help in solving a technical
problem or answering a question, Keywest Technology has provided impeccable
service and support, said Porter. “Keywest Technology has been tremendous in
their service and their support is outstanding,” he said.
