Want to set up a Digital Signage network Business TV or Advertising and get best garanties? Go for a method that afford you to secure development and quality of service
2. 2 “Digital Signage” (DS) market segment or Dynamic Digital Communication (DDC) requires an organization and standards. All2com proposes Agile4com. The main objective of this methodology is to establish a working basis which will allow the best decisions with more confidence in the implementation of DDC and guaranty quality in network operations, all ensuring the success of DDC projects. The choice of a method based on the proven concept of agile methods as a basis, is guided by a concern for an efficient implementation of the DDC methodology, but also addressing the needs of rapid changes and corrections avoiding financial risks. In contrast to conventional methods, "waterfall" where the result is validated in the final phase, the agile methodologies have this peculiarity, which is to consider all elements of the solution from the beginning and reach a very precise result using iterations throughout the project. In this way errors are detected sooner allowing time control of deliverables, in which, partial results are evaluated and validated with the project team and client. AGILE4COM methodology is the adaptation of the concept AGILE within the world of the DDC. ABSTRACT INTEGRATION AGILE ITIL FINANCIALS CONTRACTUALS BEST PRACTICES

9. 6 COMMUNICATION ALL STARTS WITH COMMUNICATION What kind of communication are we targeting? (Corporate, advertising, both) What are the channels? (Entertainment, Promotions, Advertising, Sponsoring) Communication profile? (loop duration, scheduling) SOFTWARE IS NOT ONLY CHANNEL BROADCAST IS ALSO KEY NETWORK MANAGEMENT What is the most adequate? (SaaS, owned server, corporate, advertising) What type of interface (none, standard (music, queue management), customized) What is the reporting need? (Simple, customized, levels, measurements) DDC NETWORK MODEL HARDWARE INCLUDES ALL – TV, PC, ROUTER, CABLING, SERVER, EXTRAS What is requested at the client location? (TV, PC, router, cabling, server, extras) What is the server type? (SaaS, owned, constraints) What are the installation requests? (TV support, PC, cabling, special requests) MANAGEMENT IT STARTS FROM THE BASICS TOWARDS THE EXECUTIVE EXPECTATIONS What is needed for set up services? (in vs. outsource, renting vs. investment, legal) What is needed as management? (in vs. outsource, network & service management) What are the KPIs?

OPERATION n The operational management is based on different modules defined within the International Standard ITIL and also V3 version that contains almost all the concepts of Agile. We’ve respected the ITIL management modules adapting them to the needs of a DDC network. The various measurements, of standard and specific indicators, are displayed on the dash board that comes in the Transition phase. In many cases each month the different dashboards will be analyzed. Following this analysis, we recommend a solution that is very important to implement, each of the solutions will follow the process from the Construction stage .
