Case Study: DSM achieves global, real-time employee communication across 21,000 PC screens with Netpresenter

Using 21,000 PC screens as a highly effective communication channel

DSM, a global life‑sciences and materials company, needed a faster, more reliable way to inform its workforce worldwide because email and the intranet could not always reach everyone in time. To solve this, DSM launched "DSM Newscast" using Netpresenter software to broadcast internal news to 21,000 PC screens and selected plasma displays across its sites.

Netpresenter’s desktop digital‑signage solution delivers interactive, localized news (local → business unit → corporate) at logon or as an idle screensaver, with click‑through links to 200+ intranet/internet sites. The Netpresenter rollout significantly increased visits to DSM’s internal sites and blogs, boosted employee engagement (staff actively contribute news), improved timeliness and coverage of communications, and helped make DSM one of the largest global desktop digital‑signage networks.
