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.

Information Technology Services, Media Services unit is managing the FourWinds Interactive signs at the university. Just drop us an email and we'll be happy to assist by sending an email to: ims@sandiego.edu

Information Technology MediaServices unit manages the backend of the digital signage and the server at USD. We can provide you with requirements, cost for installation, software, hardware and limited 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. Please contact us for a quote. We work closely with our providers and we consolidate licenses to bring you the best pricing.

Please check out contact us if you are interested in exploring the possibility of deploying digital signs powered by Four Winds Interactive in your area.

You will find information regarding costs for department planning and budgetary purpose below.

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.
