If you have visited our pricing page or read our article about how much digital signage costs, then you may be wondering what makes DatabeatOMNI more affordable than other solutions out there. In this article we will outline how we are able to provide such competitive pricing and how we are able to keep our costs down while not sacrificing quality, service or functionality.
Free publishing platform
DatabeatOMNI is free to use, and you can easily log in with your Microsoft Office 365 or Google account. When testing the solution, there is no need to input credit card information and there is no time limitation on how long you can test the solution. In other words, you can get started without any commitment or unnecessary starting costs.
This means that you can be an expert user before you even implement the solution in your organization. Instead of spending the first two months essentially paying for onboarding, you will be able to publish your first content the same day you buy a license.
Scalable licensing model
While the software is free to use, you do need a license when you wish to publish content to a display. Databeat OMNIplay is a license-based app that will allow you to do so. It comes in three different tiers based on your current needs, OMNIplay, OMNIplay+ and OMNIplay Pro. Should your needs change, you can easily change your licensing or purchase additional licenses.
Many users wish to do a controlled implementation of digital signage in order to learn how to best utilize the concept and how to maximize the value for the organization. With DatabeatOMNI you can start small and scale up at your own pace.
Purchasing licenses can be done directly in DatabeatOMNI. Self-service reduces costs for us, which in turn reduces the price for you as a customer.
You can even order free trial licenses in DatabeatOMNI if you wish to test the solution and concept before making a purchase decision. This ensures that you do not buy something that you do not have use for.
Less hardware
Today, most digital display providers such as Samsung, LG, Sharp and Philips have smart displays. By utilizing the internal media player in these displays, there is no need to buy external media players or PCs to display content. Databeat uses System On Chip (SoC)-technology and cooperates directly with many of the biggest display producers on the market.
With less hardware, delivery and installation is also more affordable. Less hardware means fewer products that need to be ordered, installed, configured, shipped, mounted and installed. Less hardware also means a smaller environmental footprint.
Free training
While many software providers offer long and expensive courses in order to get started with their solution, DatabeatOMNI users are able to get these courses for free and at a pace that is suited for them. Databeat Academy is a series of training videos that show you, step by step, how to use DatabeatOMNI and OMNIplay. We also have a knowledge base that aims to answer any questions you may have.
In addition, we offer free webinars to help you get started. We also provide users and partners free valuable information about us, the industry, our concepts, our products and our solutions on our website. This helps you always stay up to date with the latest in digital signage.
User-friendly interface
Simplicity is efficient, and efficiency helps you keep costs down. Databeat invests a lot of time and money into making it as easy as possible for users to use our solutions. The less time it takes to learn and start using the solution, the more money you save.
No costly integrations
Customers are increasingly wanting to gather and present information from several different sources. Both internal and external. This often requires proprietary customizations. Databeat aims to eliminate the need for costly and proprietary custom integrations with a modern, flexible architecture and out-of-the-box standard integrations.
So far, none of our customers have paid for proprietary integrations – and that is how we would like to keep it.
Reduced costs
Smart systems reduce operating costs. Customers can see for themselves if the display is connected and operational and what content is currently being displayed – regardless of where they are. If the display loses connection to the internet, you can get DatabeatOMNI to turn the power to the display off and on again through GSM network with OMNIpower.
This means that you don’t have to spend time physically going to the location to reset the display, saving you time and money.
Conclusion
DatabeatOMNI is not only affordable, but it is also powerful and flexible and filled with modern features. When investing in digital signage, make sure that you choose a solution that helps you see a return on your investment as soon as possible. If you are on the fence, why not sign up for the software and try for yourself? As mentioned before, it is completely free and there is no need to fill out any credit card information in order to try the software.
