Is Cloud-Based Digital Signage Software for Chrome Is Reliable?

NoviSign’s “online Studio” is a rich client application that runs within a web browser. This is an internal NoviSign IP. The connectivity within NoviSign components (database, servers, statistics and monitoring components) are safe within the cloud. There is no implication on the user players/screens due to the connectivity within it.

The content remotely updates and caches locally on to the Chrome OS digital signage player. Media will play when the device is offline.
