SALT LAKE CITY, April 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Digital Screenmedia Association (DSA) presented two Industry Excellence Awards to Broadcast International (BCST.OB) for its "first-of-its-kind" Managed Media Services Network; a digital signage network designed to accommodate the multi-channel marketing needs of financial institutions. The DSA Industry Excellence Awards recognize the best self-service, digital signage and mobile technology deployments across all vertical market segments.

Broadcast International received awards for "Best Financial Services Deployment – Digital Signage", and "Best Financial Services Deployment – Self-Service / Interactive Kiosks." Winners were announced during Customer Engagement Technology World in San Francisco, CA on March 27.

Broadcast International's Managed Media Services replaces virtually 90% of an institution's printed marketing collateral with a digital solution consisting of digital signage and posters, tablets, and music with messaging.  The network also has the ability to deliver training and internal communications via live video and video-on-demand to associates. The entire solution consisting of software, equipment, screens, network, management, installation, analytics, and field services, is provided as a turnkey managed service with a single point of contact to facilitate ease-of-operations and reduce costs. These services have already been deployed by several financial institutions and retailers, and were showcased at Digital Signage Expo in early March.
