Smart Conference Room

The first thing you need to know about smart conference rooms and smart meeting rooms is that they not only save you money but they also make you money.

Smart business owners, executives and managers install smart conference rooms because they make a great impression to customers and potential clients as well as creating a positive work environment.  But the economic and intellectual benefits go far beyond those good looks.  Here are seven powerful benefits of well designed and installed smart conference rooms.

  1. Increased intellectual development:  No training program can be run today without the benefits of multi-media presentations.  Not only that, participants are more likely to develop new ideas in the great working environment of a smart meeting room.  People are one of your greatest assets so why not increase their abilities?
     
  2. Increased idea capture: With the use of smart boards, touch panels and cameras integrated with computers, you are much more likely to be able to capture the ideas (intellectual capital) that are generated in meetings.  You are then able to communicate and distribute those ideas globally – seamlessly.  It sure beats spending an hour copying down notes from a whiteboard or a flip chart…or not bothering to do it at all.  That one idea might be worth millions.
     
  3. Increased sales: When you make a presentation to a prospective or existing customer with a state-of-the-art electronic meeting room, you have the opportunity to demonstrate that you are worthy of their business.  You can pitch your prospects seamlessly in multimedia.  When you hold teleconference meetings you can invite customers from around the corner and around the world at almost no cost.
     
  4. Seamless integration:  Make every user comfortable and look like an expert.  A well designed smart conference room can integrate and interface with your computer and phone systems without any problem.  Advanced systems and control programming can reduce the task of setting up the most complex meetings to just one or a few clear buttons.  People can look like they know what they are doing instead of fumbling with a system they don’t use every day.
     
  5. Hold global meetings at low or no cost:  Computer based and teleconferencing system methods for virtual global meetings are so affordable these days that it is hard to not justify having one or more methods available.  How many trips at $2,000 do you have to avoid to justify this technology in your business?  The answer is: not very many.
     
  6. Cost reduction:  Not only can you reduce your travel expense, but you can also make your meetings more effective and efficient thus saving the otherwise wasted cost of people in the room.  With just 15 mid-level managers in a room you just lost $65 during the five minutes it took for someone to fumble with three remote controls and confusing instructions to get the presentation set up.  Each meeting is costing you hundreds to thousands of dollars per hour!
     
  7. Increased productivity and morale:  Would you rather be in a meeting in a traditional white-board room where the back row can’t even see what’s going on or be in a comfortable space where everyone is immediately engaged in the meeting content?  People who are proud of their workspaces are more productive.  People who have pride spread their high morale around to others.

So, when you want to ask “How much does a smart meeting room cost?” stop for a moment and ask this question instead: “What features should I build into my smart meeting room to produce the greatest rate of return on my investment?”

Smart meeting rooms and smart conference rooms are more affordable than ever today.

Common features for a smart meeting room:

bullet Video projector – project your ideas
bullet Viewing screen – manual or automatic projection screen
bullet Flat panel television – for presentations or news
bullet Computer – interface with your people, content, network and the Internet
bullet DVD player - content
bullet VHS player - content
bullet Speaker phone – talk with the world
bullet Video conference – conference with the world
bullet Electronic white board – capture ideas
bullet Microphones, amplifiers and speakers – make everyone clearly heard
bullet Equipment racks – organize and hide the technology
bullet Lighting control – set the scene with a single button
bullet Other advanced technology as desired
bullet Advanced integrated remote controls – make it easy with one simple control

The content and purpose of the meeting is the only important thing.  The technology is there to help you communicate easily and get your work done.  The beauty of a well designed and installed smart conference room is that the technology is seamless and hidden.

Smart conference rooms and smart meeting rooms more than pay for themselves.
