Design-Build Firm Boosts Conference Room Benefits With ViewSonic ViewBoard Interactive Display

For client-centered firms, the conference room is a critical space for wooing prospects, meeting with current clients and working within the team to develop deliverables. Up-to-date technology helps set the tone for success. The best tech enables efficient ideation, collaboration and connectivity.

For one design-built project delivery company, with offices in North America and Europe, taking steps to implement a conference room display upgrade, was a critical part of their client-first, holistic strategy. With services that include design, construction, procurement and maintenance, the conference room upgrade was designed to create a workspace that positively impacts employee motivation and brand equity. The upgrade began with an efficient, easy-to-use videoconferencing solution to connect its distributed teams and provide a more productive central meeting space for architects, designers and engineers to collaborate with clients and show off the intricate details of their CAD designs.

The firm’s outdated Smartboard fell short when it came to displaying crisp detail. The expense and IT time needed for maintenance and calibration assistance added up. Not to mention, it gave the image-focused agency a bit of a dated appearance. The design team wanted a higher quality solution, that enabled them to zoom into designs and still show sharp detail. They also wanted an easy-to-use solution that eliminated the need to replace lamps and calibrate.

In summary, the IT team was challenged to source a solution that eliminated calibration, maintenance and lamp replacement and delivered higher image quality – all in a large touchscreen device that fit their moderate budget.

The most powerful benefits of upgrading the conference room with a ViewSonic ViewBoard interactive flat panel display and integrated myViewBoard annotation software, are enhanced productivity and collaboration.

Following some comprehensive online research that included major brands such as ViewSonic, LG, Samsung, Microsoft Surface, and SMART touchscreen displays, the IT team selected the 86” ViewSonic® ViewBoard® IFP8650 with integrated myViewBoard® annotation software, ViewBoard Cast™ streaming software and 4K Ultra HD resolution. The competitive price point and customer care that accompanied the solution, were also important in making this selection.

For design-build and architectural firms looking for a solution that supports intricate AutoCAD and other intricate drawings, the ViewBoard’s 4K resolution enables teams to zoom in and show precise levels of detail. It also provides easy collaboration and video conferencing for staff and client meetings held in the conference room, through integrated cloud connectivity and whiteboarding tools. With an expansive 86 inches of screen space to work with, teams appreciate the ability to show a PowerPoint presentation and have a Teams or Zoom video conference window side-by-side. To maximize the experience, this team added a wide-angle camera.
