Bauman Moscow State Technical University (MSTU), one of Russia’s leading engineering universities, and its oldest, has selected C-nario’s digital signage platform, C-nario Messenger, for a new digital signage network serving thousands of applicants. Croc, a leading Russian provider of information technology (IT) services and solutions, served as the prime contractor and implementer.

The digital signage network comprises 13 Panasonic 65” plasma displays. Ten are located in the various faculties. Two displays are located in the university’s information zone and one near the applicant reception desk.

Special video content was created, explaining each faculty’s activity, as well as increasing applicants’ interest in scientific research conducted by the university. The digital signage network is also integrated with existing electronic queuing systems, as well as with the university’s web portal, showing the number of applicants in real-time according to faculty.

“The digital signage network helps applicants select the most appropriate curriculum for their needs and interests," said Igor Ivanov, Vice Rector, Bauman University. "On the other hand, it streamlines the work of the applicant selection committees due to the queuing systems and the fact that applicants can do an initial self-selection following the information that they see on the screens."
