Armagard customers are willing to invest more money into digital signage protection & IT equipment safeguarding, usually spending more than the value of the equipment they\u2019re protecting. But why? We reveal all\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

Why Pay More for Digital Signage Protection? <\/strong><\/h2>\n

How much did your digital signage or IT equipment cost? What would it cost to repair or replace? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When protecting your expensive digital signage display or IT equipment the key is to think long-term. According to the most recent research (2010) published by www.wirespring.com<\/a> the average cost of installing 100 digital signage displays and operating them for three years (excluding content and personnel costs) is approximately $372,000.<\/p>\n

That figure equates to $372,000 per single unit. While costs are dropping year-after-year, this approximate figure still represents a lot of money to a business.\u00a0Therefore, digital signage protection, for expensive displays, and safeguarding for IT equipment requires a quality product.<\/p>\n

Companies, like yours, are all about saving money. While buying a cheap enclosure solution may seem appealing in the short-term, the long-term consequences will cost you more. Why pay more? Quality equals longevity, resulting in keeping costs down in the future.<\/p>\n

The problem with cheaper, inferior products is that they are produced on a mass scale, using low-cost materials (such as aluminium) and sold into environments where they are unfit for the purpose. In tougher environments these products fail, resulting in damaged equipment that:<\/p>\n
