Smart Boards

Smart Boards in Conference Rooms Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) technology is a critical part of any collaborative ecosystem.  In fact, the proper deployment of IWB technology will give your organization the greatest opportunity to accelerate collaboration in both connected and non-connected meetings.

The SMART Technologies IWB Solution delivers more than just a new IWB.  The SMART solutions approach provides the features of traditional white boarding and more, within YOUR interactive computing environment.  It then shares those resources in real-time, over the Internet, with anyone you want connected to the session, via another IWB, PC or iPad.  Not only can participants view the SMART board from other locations, but they can also interact with the IWB by marking it up with their comments and notes, without having to ask for control of the session.  Watch Video »»

Key Considerations for Evaluating Interactive Whiteboard Technology -
Look for a solution not just technology:

  • Does the IWB enhance workflow?
  • Is the IWB solution tightly integrated with the applications that you use day-to-day?
  • Does the IWB solution allow you to collaborate over distance? (many-to-many vs one too many)
  • Does the IWB vendor provide a range of endpoints?

Currently there is only one IWB vendor that meets all these criteria in the business world – SMART Technologies.  SMART is far and away the market leader and has made the most significant investment in developing all aspects of an IWB solution.
