CASE STUDY CLEVELAND POTASH UK
INDUSTRIES:
Corporate
PRODUCT:
46” Interactive Touch Screens
INTRODUCTION:
Cleveland Potash is a mining company, owned by Israeli based ICL Fertilisers. Given the importance of health and safety in their workplace, the initial requirement was for a digital communication solution that would enable the company to display up to date policy information to employees on a constant basis. The interactive sign includes all management rules and policies and was strongly promoted by the HR team.
As the sign build developed, the importance of displaying key performance indicators became a central requirement, such as how much product was mined in previous days and how much was shipped from the Tees Dock base. Although critical to the performance of the business, this up to date key information was previously not displayed automatically and openly. Both the attract loop and the central page of the sign display actual figures against target using a feed of data from a central company database.
Other content includes ‘instant messaging’ using the dedicated text area on the main page, live weather updates and unique pages for each building.
Cleveland Potash chose to install an estate of 46” interactive digital screens in various locations around their site, including the mine, port and management areas. All of the concept, graphic design, user interface of the site and functionality/user interface was designed by Beyond Digital.

CASE STUDY MARRIOTT COURTYARDUSA
INDUSTRIES:
Hotel Hospitality
PRODUCT:
42” Interactive Touch Screens
INTRODUCTION:
The Marriott ‘Go Board’ is a virtual concierge system installed in thousands of Marriott Courtyards around the world. Marriott Courtyard is their budget range of hotels where there is no resident concierge and reception staff are limited. The locations are often at airports or on the side of motorways, where guests are often travelling and arrive at any time of the day.
The principle behind the Go Board is to provide a huge range of instant information to guests, effectively replacing the concierge service at a more affordable rate. Most of the information displayed uses live data feeds such as flight boards, news and weather. There is also a local map where guests can access directions to a range of local services. The map plots the route and a QR code can be downloaded to make this information mobile.
The sign also includes a disability button that when pressed, allows the full sign to be controlled at the base of the sign. This is an important function of publicly accessible signs.

CASE STUDY MERCEDES-BENZ PROJECTION
INDUSTRIES:
Automotive
INTRODUCTION:
Mercedes-Benz wanted to communicate with customers outside of showroom opening hours. These customers are attracted by Used Approved cars displayed on the forecourt, but could not gain the information required without sales assistance. The objectives of the solution were to; – Increase sales opportunities – Provide showroom information
– Promote car of the week
– Advertise current offers, nationally and locally
– Enable customers to search for approved used cars
Mercedes-Benz wanted a cost effective solution with all hardware installed internally avoiding planning permission and security issues.
To meet this brief we installed an interactive projection system in a highly visible location. A large vinyl surround covered the interior and exterior glass and an area (equivalent to a 42” screen) was cut out. A specialist interactive projection film was applied to the gap, turning the glass into an interactive solution from the building exterior.
The content included a bright ‘attract loop’ that rotated between animations of the interactive content experience, (highlighting system features and usability), and current offers.
The graphic design included areas of animation and four ‘interactive buttons’ that provided information on the showroom, the dealer, staff profiles, opening hours and offers. To make it easy to update, we provided a simple means of updating car of the week by integrating data from a template on a local network drive. Approved used car searches were possible using a web feed.
The system was used on average 230 times per month.

CASE STUDY POKERSTARS & FULL TILT
INDUSTRIES:
Corporate
PRODUCT:
42” Interactive Touch Screens
INTRODUCTION:
PokerStars is the largest online poker card room company in the world with over 50 million registered players. PokerStars employs over 2,000 members of staff in offices in the Isle of Man, Costa Rica, Sydney and London.
PokerStars traditionally communicated with its employees using a monthly e-magazine and intranet site. Its challenge was how to best communicatethe vast amount of daily information relating to: – Employee rewards
– Policy changes
– Management information
– Training courses
– Live performance information
It was also looking for a flexible and future-proofed solution that would enable communication with different audiences as required. This was initially envisaged to extend to visiting customers and VIP’s.
FUNCTIONALITY:
Under the advice and full consultation of Beyond Digital, PokerStars invested in a centrally managed content solution, with full creative services and a network of 46” commercial TV screens. The screens were installed in carefully selected locations recommended by Beyond Digital to ensure maximum impact for both employees and visitors alike. To minimise disruption, the system was installed over a weekend out of normal office hours.
Poker Stars required a content system that could be installed onto a secure and complex IT network. It was also essential that content could be published onto any screen in any office location globally. The content requirement was diverse and includes;
– Live tournament information
– News
– Weather alerts
– TV campaigns
– Employee communications
– Benefits
CASE STUDIES 25
CASE STUDY POKERSTARS & FULL TILT
PROVEN EFFECTIVENESS OF EMPLOYEE COMMUNICATIONS
The new digital communication system was initially deployed at the Head Office in the Isle of Man. In order to justify further expansion, the system needed to prove its effectiveness and commercial benefit. The challenge was to find a tangible metric to use as a basis of measurement of corporate messaging.
THE METRIC – EMPLOYEE REWARDS
PokerStars runs a rewards portal for its employees which offers discounts in third party retail outlets. Uptake of these offers was selected as the most effective way to measure the effectiveness.
THE TESTS
Over a period of three months, PokerStars used the digital screens in the Isle of Man to display weekly offers to raise awareness of the rewards portal. Two tests were carried out to compare;
1) Uptake vs London, (where no digital screens were installed)
2) Uptake vs previous months in the Isle of Man, (before digital screens were installed)

PRODUCT:
Product HTML web interface, 42” interactive screens and mobile
INTRODUCTION:
South Tyneside Council commissioned a major Town Hall refurbishment and approached us to provide a booking system for employees to book workstations and meeting rooms. It was imperative that the Town Hall provided an agile, technologically streamlined building where key ratios of facilities to employees are monitored.
The booking system is available to employees as an html page and 42” interactive screens with an optimised mobile version in development. Key functionality includes;
– Booking tools for workstations and meeting rooms
– Booking manager to view/edit/delete bookings
– PIN access and management
– Integration with internal phone book
– Wayfinding to locate workstations, rooms and employees
– Reporting functionality from a central dashboard
– Administrative interface for overall management and customisation
To meet this brief, we developed a three-tier software solution that integrates an SQL storage server with an XML processor. This was integrated with digital signage software, STC data sources and secure hosting. Key rules were determined including time periods and team proximity.
The graphic design recognises the importance of an intuitive user experience. The colour palette reflects the building while text is minimised with large, clear buttons, strong branding and visually impactful images.
A key function are inbuilt reports that aid decision making, monitoring and measurement of building usage. A central dashboard provides a building snapshot including key metrics such as average occupancy by date, maximum and minimum usage and types of meeting rooms.

CASE STUDY SWISSPORT UK
INDUSTRIES:

PRODUCT:
42” Interactive Touch Screens
INTRODUCTION:
Swissport communicated with their employees using traditional cork notice boards and management announcements. With increasing health and safety legislation and unionisation, there was an increasing need to formalise communication and prove that updates and policies were received by employees.
Swissport had developed an internal ‘Read and Sign’ system to provide formal documentation but needed to display this content as widely as possible.
As well as displaying ‘Read and Sign’ content, the digital screens also incorporate a wide range of content including a library of company documents, videos and corporate assets. Live feeds display weather, wind speed, wind direction and visibility.
Recognising the busy environment of the airport, Beyond Digital have designed animated content for the attract loop and main page of the sign to engage attention. In order to discuss health and safety incidents, an interactive map of the airport site has been specifically drawn to show the location and implication of incidents.
