Case Study: Computacenter achieves major time, travel and cost savings with SMART Technologies' interactive corporate solution

Computacenter saves time and money with SMART's interactive corporate solution

Computacenter, a leading European IT infrastructure provider with more than £2.2 billion in revenue and over 9,000 employees, faced a logistical challenge: managing department-wide meetings across eight UK branches and a 190-person team. Frequent travel to coordinate meetings consumed weeks of work time, drove up expenses and increased the company’s carbon footprint.

Computacenter piloted SMART Board interactive whiteboards with Bridgit conferencing to enable touch-controlled collaboration, desktop sharing and remote participation across offices. The rollout cut one manager’s annual mileage from about 40,000 to 6,000 miles and travel time from 17 working weeks to 2.5, reduced travel expenses tenfold, sped up issue resolution, and prompted wider company adoption and customer interest—delivering clear productivity, cost and environmental benefits.
