ITS has partnered with FourWinds Interactive to provide digital signage management to approved users across campus. FourWinds Interactive has powerful features we can communicate information to the community around us such as the events, wayfinding, maps, stock ticker, public safety, HR or wellness, and sport and more. The technology allows individual colleges and departments to run their own messages. At the same time, the university at large is able to send a single message throughout the campus as needed.
Benefits
- Campus Directory
- Campus Map (for static digital signs)
- WayFinder Campus Map (for interactive digital signs)
- Campus events
- Dining facilities
- Emergency Messaging
- All Headline News (Sports, NASDAQ or any appropriate station)

Additional Costs
Note this does not include associated cost of Power/electrical or networking in new locations. This will require a walk through with the facilities management and the networking team and the media technicians to assess the exact location. But, for the most part this will not be a huge cost.
Support
While the Media Services team will provide limited support, consultation and the overall management of the digital signage at USD, the individual departments are responsible for their own management of files, signs and upkeep of the information. Additional training and support is provided directly from the FourWinds Interactive.
Our team is available to help answer questions or to meet you in person to discuss any concerns that will help us all with this successful transition. Just drop us an email and we'll be happy to assist by sending an email to ims@sandiego.edu.
