Have you ever considered developing your own digital signage content management system

(CMS)? If you already have a couple of screens, and a team with some software

development skills, then it can be a tempting prospect, especially if you’re working on a tight

budget. In our latest Digital Signage Explored episode, we explore the question, and ask

whether it is, in fact, worth the effort. To help shed light on the topic, we lean into the first-

hand experience of Roland X, from X in Germany, who, in 2006, made just such a decision

to build his own CMS. The system now encompasses thirteen screens and works as both

traditional digital signage and a live TV broadcast system. We explore what the self-build

journey was like for Roland, what challenges he encountered, and ultimately why he would

NOT recommend the DIY CMS route for businesses. Find out the problems organisations

could face, if they do opt for a self-build model, and why, they are likely to need to update

their system, even if their networks and requirements don’t grow.
