Case Study: Context Media, Inc. doubles advertising performance with Ubuntu's Landscape

Landscape contributes to the doubling of Context Media’s advertising performance

Context Media, a Chicago company that runs waiting-room TV networks for healthcare, operates about 600 Ubuntu-based video terminals and depends on near-constant uptime for advertising revenue. Its small IT team faced time-consuming manual updates, expensive on-site repairs, and limited remote access because terminals sit behind hospital firewalls and must meet strict security (HIPAA) requirements.

Context Media implemented Canonical’s Landscape SaaS to automate monitoring and remote management of its Ubuntu terminals, enabling diagnostics and updates despite restrictive hospital networks. The change cut on-site visits and maintenance costs, improved security through timely updates, increased uptime, and allowed the company to prove audience reach to advertisers—resulting in doubled per-location advertising performance and higher revenue.
