"With the SMART Board interactive whiteboard, we can very easily demonstrate what works and what doesn’t. The evolution of a plan can take place right there, when normally it would take three meetings."

Streamlining the design process
Fitting right into Gansen Lindsay's commitment to client satisfaction is the SMART Board interactive whiteboard. The firm's designers use the touch-sensitive whiteboard in their office to present plans to clients.
According to the firm's president, Helma Gansen, "With the SMART Board interactive whiteboard, we can very easily demonstrate what works and what doesn't." The designers can make changes to plans directly on the interactive whiteboard, immediately allowing clients to see the effects of changes and raise any concerns. "The evolution of a plan can take place right there, when normally it would take three meetings," explains Gansen.
Meeting client's technology needs
Offices and corporate facilities constitute 80 percent of Gansen Lindsay's projects. Because the firm's designers have seen firsthand how the SMART Board interactive whiteboard helps improve meetings and presentations, they now specify it for their clients' boardrooms, training rooms and offices as well.
Gansen points out that because technology moves so fast, many of Gansen Lindsay's clients aren't aware of what's out there. When the firm's designers introduce their clients to the SMART Board interactive whiteboard, clients immediately see the usefulness of the touch-sensitive whiteboard. "Not one client has said, 'No we don't need it,' Gansen explains. "It's more a question of 'How many do we need?'"
With the SMART Board interactive whiteboard, Gansen Lindsay makes the design process more effective and introduces clients to a product that helps address their technology needs. As Gansen puts it, "The SMART Board interactive whiteboard is a tool that is very relevant to the way we communicate and work in an office today."
