Case Study: SAIT Polytechnic achieves real-time, campus-wide communications and automated display management with Omnivex

Students rate Omnivex-powered 'SAITVIEW' as a top source of information

SAIT Polytechnic, a Calgary‑based technical institute with tens of thousands of students and a high proportion of short‑cycle, time‑pressed learners, needed a way to deliver timely, relevant information — from program updates and student services to security alerts and emergency notices — across campus. To meet that challenge the school built SAITVIEW using Omnivex, deploying Omnivex Display, Omnivex DataPipe and Omnivex Control as its digital signage software suite.

Omnivex provided centralized content management, real‑time data integration and remote device monitoring for 33+ screens and residence channels, automatically troubleshooting hardware and scheduling contextual messages by time and location. The platform delivered measurable impact: within two months 56% of students recognized SAITVIEW, 70% watched it during the day, viewers averaged about 100 messages per week, 68% rated it a top information source, a vaccination push reached over 4,000 students, security alerts and theft warnings were broadcast immediately, and Omnivex’s remote monitoring reduced maintenance time and costs.
