While we are welcoming the year 2022, I’d like to highlight some events from the year 2021.
Valotalive is growing globally and has customers from the USA to New Zealand. Based on our experience we can say that digital signage plays an increasingly important part in employee communication and engagement around the world. We are talking about corporate communication and employee engagement, production facility communication and health and safety.
Executive teams and business line managers are looking into the opportunities of repurposing content and data from business systems to digital signage displays to drive employee engagement and data transparency.

New Integrations to MS O365 cloud – Excel and Teams
We are adding new integrations to the Microsoft cloud. The latest examples of suchs applications are Microsoft and Excel.

Microsoft Teams is a big thing today, chat, videos, collaboration… all in one place. Valotalive’s New Teams app makes it possible to automatically show the main messages from a selected Teams channel on your Digital Displays.
Microsoft Excel Integration
It is easy to say that Microsoft Excel is one of the most used software in the business.
You can now securely connect your Digital Signage displays with Microsoft Excel to display live metrics and visualisations across organisations.
Accident Free Days Counter
This value add service has been designed especially for the Manufacturing industry. With the help of the Accident Free Days counter application in Valotalive, Customers can automatically count and display the number of accident free days at the production facility’s digital screens.
The application can be managed using the mobile phone or laptop. The managers can easily see over a fleet of counters on multiple screens. Read more about the Accident Free Days app here.
