Why Enterprise Teams Switch from BrightSign
The top reasons customers migrate to SPARC
Couldn't prove screens were working
- Board asked for ROI on $200K screen investment — had nothing to show
- No audience data, no dwell time, no engagement metrics
- Needed the same analytics for stores that the website already provides online
Video wall required an integrator for every change
- Every layout change meant a site visit and a hardware reconfiguration
- Integrator costs exceeded $2,000/month just for content swaps
- Marketing team couldn't touch the video wall without calling someone
Five tools, nothing talked to each other
- Screens on one system, lighting on another, audio on a third
- Spreadsheets tracking what was playing where
- Nobody could answer 'is screen 7 still showing last month's promo?' without walking over to check

We import existing content automatically. Templates convert to SPARC format. Design investment preserved.
