The ITESLIVE digital signage software comes in three different versions: Starter, Pro and Premium. Each version meets the various needs and abilities of users, but choosing the most suitable one can be a challenge. For instance, to create efficient internal communications, a company might want to display its employees’ birthdays or work anniversaries. In this type of scenario, the specific features of each version become clearer.

Starter version

This version is adapted to users who prefer a more “hands-on” approach, because it requires users to create their images in a separate, third-party software before uploading it in the digital signage software. This version is usually chosen by users with design skills and who are familiar with graphic design tools such as Photoshop. To use the above-mentioned scenario (displaying monthly birthdays), the organization must first create an image using another software, then upload it in the digital signage software; this process means that updating employee birthdays will require a fair amount of time.

Pro version

This version is designed for users who are looking for both efficiency and ease. With this version, users can quickly share a visually engaging message without having any skills in design software. All they need to do is select a customizable template included in the software, enter the employee’s name and date of birth in the text fields, and save the file. Furthermore, users can easily personalize templates any way they want, add employees’ pictures and adapt the colors to the organization’s graphic standards. In short, this process is much quicker than the Starter version of the software.

Premium version

The Premium version offers the ultimate in automation. With this option, birthdays can be automatically shared on displays at the appropriate time without any manual operation, since it directly connects to the organisation’s database or to an Excel file. This is the perfect version for organisations that wish to spend as little time as possible to manage birthday visual messages while ensuring that no employee birthday will be forgotten.

In short, choosing the appropriate software version depends on the number of required updates, the desired level of customization and the degree of automation of the process. The Pro and Premium versions are the most popular, as they offer quicker and more efficient content management capabilities. Whether you prefer the Starter version for a more practical approach, the Pro version’s ease of use, or the automated efficiency of the Premium version, there is a solution for every need.
