“It’s a terrific honor to be recognized by our peers for our design and installation at Health Advocate”, said Bob Lobascio, VP of Sales and Marketing for IMS. “It was a fun and interesting project. We have to thank Health Advocate and specifically Marty Rosen, their Chief Marketing Officer, for his vision which allowed our team to take on the challenge of creating their digital environment. Our clients give us the opportunity to work diligently, to stay on top of rapidly changing technologies, and to suggest the very best solutions for their projects. The digital signage industry has grown exponentially in the recent years and to know that our team produced an award winning project, during this growth period for digital signage, is very satisfying.”

IMS completed the successful project that brought together a “Welcome Wall” featuring a 50” 1080P HD display and an ultra large display featuring a floating 130” diagonal HD Nippura Blue Ocean™ rear projection screen driven by a Sanyo PLV-WF10™ LCD projector, in the main Lobby Exhibit Area. Both displays in the Exhibit Area show automated content; each with a networked AGNPRO miniBox™ HMP HD media player. The Exhibit area then opens into the Boardroom which features a Digital Gallery comprised of ten 32” flat panel displays showing automated content through ten networked AGNPRO miniBox™ NMP network media players. In addition, a 106” diagonal HD rear projection system is driven by a Sanyo PVL-80 LCD projector and networked PCs. Health Advocate’s messaging is further communicated throughout the headquarters to their operations departments utilizing six strategically placed 50” 720P HD flat panel displays showing automated content with an AGNPRO oneBox HD™ Digital Signage Appliance. With the exception of the Digital Gallery, the entire display system is controlled via an AMX NI-3100 and Modero 8.5” wireless touch panel, programmed with customized matrix switching.


This Digital Signage system creates a striking multi-media experience that emphasizes the fundamental elements of Health Advocate’s services to visitors, affiliates and vendors; while communicating the company’s core communications and messaging to employees. As a result, interaction and communication has increased among the above mentioned groups due to the systems high impact and easy to use technology. The system is a tool to market more effectively and overall it provides an experience that enhances Health Advocate’s potential for growth.
