Abstract: A system and method for managing content displayed on a distributed network of signs in enterprise and non-enterprise embodiments is disclosed. In an enterprise embodiment, a hierarchy is developed to manage sign data across multiple levels. In a retail embodiment, the levels may include chains, geographic regions, and/or stores. On-site processors are used to distribute and store information pertaining to a particular location. In a non-enterprise embodiment, signs at a single location are centrally managed. Information is stored in a central database and is sent to individual signs continuously, intermittently or as requested. A web management interface (“WMI”) is used to manage the information pertaining to each sign, including content to display, the timing for displaying the content and the applicable fields. An error checking scheme is implemented to verify that sign content is appropriately displayed.
