Well suited to get content out to employees quickly and easily. Images and videos are the best. It might not work well for stagnant PDF and PPT content.

Emerald Signage is a fantastic option since they have a long history of providing outstanding service to their clients. The most efficient approach of producing large format images of both actual objects and digital displays, as well as portraits of specific people. It is also becoming more of a common habit to advertise certain products and services on a variety of social networking sites.

Ease of use and convenience of getting content to employees. I would give it a 10 if there were video tutorials for first-time users and live chat support.
