IT management and SMART solutions

When a business implements new technology, it can affect the entire organization. The IT department often bears the brunt of the change as users struggle with learning curves and the network adjusts. SMART solutions are designed to minimize the impact of an implementation, so your IT department can focus on supporting your business instead of dealing with problems. After all, when you’re adopting technology designed to save your business time and money, you should see those benefits in the IT department, too.


Imagine a quiet help desk

SMART products are easy to use, so virtually anyone can start them up and begin working, with a minimal learning curve and reduced engagement of the IT department. Training and support is available for users right from the beginning, so your teams will feel comfortable using SMART products and integrating them into their work days.


Here are some of the features that make SMART solutions easy for everyone:

  • One-button startup – SMART Board interactive whiteboard systems power up quickly with the push of a single button. This means less time spent setting up meeting room technology and fewer opportunities for something to go wrong.
  • Standard user interface – no matter which SMART display you use or where you use it, the user interface is the same. So whether you’re working on your laptop, a co-worker’s desktop or a large display in a meeting room, you’ll always be on familiar ground. Our products are also designed to integrate with the Microsoft Office applications you use every day.
  • Walk-up-and-use functionality – SMART’s in-room meeting solutions can run on dedicated meeting room computers. Or, you can simply plug a laptop into your SMART Board interactive whiteboard or display and work quickly and easily with your files, documents and applications.

Easy network integration

SMART solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly into virtually any network, with minimal need for IT support. Consultation services are available to help you plan your implementation. Our consultants can help design your implementation strategy and ensure the SMART solutions you choose will benefit your business with minimal network disruptions.


Here are some of the ways SMART solutions make it easy to support your network:

  • Multiple deployment scenarios – SMART solutions are flexible, supporting installations with or without dedicated meeting room computers. SMART products are designed to work together, allowing IT departments to customize meeting room scenarios and minimize equipment budgets.
  • Scalability – SMART solutions support administration packages and remote monitoring to assist in enterprise-wide deployments. SMART Bridgit data conferencing software is scalable, with up to 500 simultaneous users per server.
  • Easy, reliable support – SMART offers technical support to customers around the world. We work with our extensive network of resellers to ensure help is nearby when you need it. SMART solutions enable remote updates of software, drivers, system patches or upgrades, and network updates, and making it easy to remotely troubleshoot end users’ desktops.
