The Born-in-the-Cloud Digital Signage Software Platform
Here at Skykit, we’ve had a busy summer continuing to innovate and bring new product updates, features and functionality to our solutions, including Beam, our digital signage software. This month, we’re excited to announce the features that will enable you to display your Apple Keynote presentation via digital screens. We have also added the ability to easily connect Beam to your Microsoft OneDrive to allow for easy content uploading. Finally, we continue to add new Dashboard Connections every two weeks, ensuring you can display real-time data dashboards easily and securely via digital signage or large-format screens.
We’ve added to our list of presentation software supported in Skykit Beam, a cloud-based digital signage CMS. Now, Apple Keynote slide presentations can be uploaded into Beam and shared across your digital signage network. This is in addition to Google Slides and Microsoft PowerPoint, which have been available in Beam.

You might be wondering what we mean by “internal dashboard connections”.
Well, we recognize that many organizations have proprietary and custom data visualization tools. That’s why our team works directly with our customers to identify which data is important to display on digital signage and to build the capabilities to connect those dashboards to Beam.
