Case Study: SPARTA, Inc. achieves 49% faster briefing preparation and superior mission visualization with SMART Technologies

SMART products help organizations visualize complex process and planning information

SPARTA, Inc., a systems engineering and advanced-technology firm supporting organizations like the U.S. Air Force, Missile Defense Agency and DHS, needed better ways to visualize complex information, automate core processes and prepare air combat briefings. Earlier setups—large monitors paired with conventional whiteboards—were inefficient and required extra prep time to draw tactical diagrams and assemble lessons.

SPARTA integrated SMART technologies (SMART Board 580, SMART Board overlays and the Sympodium L250) with its web-based “Active IT” software to deliver interactive, on-the-fly presentations and collaborative visualization. The change cut briefing preparation time substantially—SPARTA reports a 49% increase in efficiency—enabled rapid access to digital files, improved audience engagement during demonstrations to senior military leaders, and streamlined mission planning, training and contingency management.
