Many companies have extensive boardroom and meeting room facilities that are sorely underused in terms of their communications facilities. For a much lower cost than is frequently anticipated, there are a variety of different technologies which allow the maximum impact to be derived from meetings and presentations.

The variety of display technologies available has exploded over the last few years. Large, crisp plasma display screens are extremely pleasing to the eye. Modern, small LCD projectors are available with resolution and brightness that was unthinkable until recently. Surround sound systems have great impact when used correctly, and are very much more discreet than they used to be.

Once you have some form of display infrastructure in place, you can install videoconferencing facilities, which have enormous cost benefits in terms of staff travel expenses. A good quality ‘starfish’ conference phone yields similar benefits if conference calls are a common requirement.

Add in the connectivity of a wireless network and the possibilities are endless.
