Collaboration solutions – how they work
Our interactive whiteboards and displays, software, services and support all work together as an integrated solution, so you can share information and ideas in a visual and interactive way. In a SMART-equipped workspace, your resources are at your fingertips. You can open files, applications, websites and multimedia on a SMART Board interactive whiteboard or display. You can write notes in digital ink, save them into your files and share them instantly via e-mail. You can switch from writing notes to navigating applications and back with a simple touch. And you can share screens instantly with remote participants, so everyone can see and contribute to the work in real time – regardless of location. With that kind of collaborative power, every meeting becomes an opportunity for sharing information, brainstorming ideas, capturing everyone's feedback and notes, clearly documenting next steps and immediately distributing updated documents.
Applying SMART solutions
Interactive presentations
With SMART Board interactive whiteboards and displays, you can deliver presentations that keep all participants engaged and focused. You can access your digital resources on a large touch-enabled surface and interact with your content so everyone can see. You can open files, applications, websites and multimedia using your finger. Use the pen to write in digital ink over your content and save it. Write notes directly into familiar applications like Microsoft Visio, Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Erase notes with your fist. The easy-to-use interfaces make interacting with your digital content a natural, intuitive experience.
Distance collaboration
With SMART solutions, you can easily share information with local and remote participants. You can use the large interactive displays for videoconferencing, or you can share screens so all participants can interact directly with session materials, work together on the same documents simultaneously or write notes that everyone can see. You can connect with personnel around the world instantly – even if your meeting is spontaneous – and brainstorm and problem solve as if you were in the same room. This can help streamline decision-making processes, lead to faster resolution of problems and issues, and reduce travel costs.
Effective training
With SMART solutions, trainers and instructors can display and work with information on a large touch-enabled surface. Because our products are interactive, training participants can work with the material, write notes and navigate the content themselves. By presenting course material and concepts visually, trainers can help keep participants engaged and focused on learning, whether they're in the same room or in a remote location. Trainers can also update course material on the fly by writing notes in digital ink or by editing and saving files when group discussions bring about new information.
