Uniguest Rolls Out Easy-to-Use, Hospitality-Centric Digital Signage System

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Uniguest Inc., a leading technology provider to the global hospitality industry, today announced the roll-out of U-Sign, an easy-to-use digital signage system developed expressly for hotels that enables information to be displayed on wireless and wired digital display panels and computers propertywide.

U-Sign enables data to be entered once and then displayed on an unlimited number of devices simultaneously and selectively, based on predetermined criteria, according to Joseph Moore, Uniguest's chief technology officer. For example, a message about a school group's meeting could be excluded from displays in the hotel's lounge, he said.

"Unlike other providers that piece together off-the-shelf equipment and software, Uniguest developed an integrated, purpose-built system that is simple to use and far less expensive," Moore said. "U-Sign is as easy to use as a tablet computer, with what-you-see-is-what-you-get graphics that show exactly how the remote digital signs will appear."

At the heart of U-Sign is the Unicore™ content management system, which presents relevant and timely information that supports each hotel's respective branding and business standards. Unicore enables the same messages to be displayed anywhere in the hotel – on digital signs, business center workstations and concierge tablets, among others.

In addition to displaying messages about in-house meetings and events, flight status and weather, hotels can use U-Sign to promote profit centers including restaurants, lounges and spas, Moore said. Hoteliers also can generate revenue by offering advertising to local business that wish to market their products or services to hotel guests.

"Since it was built by hospitality experts expressly for the industry, U-Sign provides hoteliers with everything they need and nothing they don't, and all for a price point that reflects this singular focus," he said. "Operating expenses are minimized because the system can be operated by hotel staff without the support of on-site technicians."
