Case Study: Edinburgh City Council achieves greater engagement and productivity with Microsoft Corporation Surface Hub

Surface Hub boosts engagement at Edinburgh Council

Edinburgh City Council, the unitary authority for Scotland’s capital, needed a better way to engage citizens and stakeholders while reducing the time staff spent traveling between satellite offices for meetings. Microsoft Corporation’s Surface Hub, with Skype, screen sharing, and whiteboarding features, was identified as a promising tool to improve collaboration and productivity.

Microsoft Corporation implemented Surface Hub across the Council to enable instant meetings, visual collaboration, and easier sharing of maps and data. The result was less travel, faster meetings, and stronger engagement with partners across the city, helping staff save time and focus more on serving Edinburgh residents.
