The CMS is where signage work actually happens; the screens just follow what it publishes.

## What to look for

- **Scheduling.** Dayparting, date ranges and recurring schedules.
- **Screen management.** Grouping, status, screenshots and remote actions.
- **Platform coverage.** One CMS for every kind of player you run.
- **Deployment.** Cloud-hosted for convenience, or on-premise when data must stay on your network.
