Business Challenge
To go from a corporate culture of little audio visual usage to one that would complement what Bantrel's clients were accustom to and exceed their own client and internal expectations. Bantrel was aware of SMART Technologies products and wanted to understand the benefits of the full line of SMART products and how those products could facilitate their business.
Sharp's Audio Visual Solution
Sharp's Audio Visual Account Management reviewed the full range of audio visual products from industry leading manufacturers to explain their benefits and how they could work together. The design team worked with Bantrel's Calgary Head Office to develop an executive boardroom for internal presentations and work rooms that would be for both internal and client collaboration. These rooms incorporated SMART In-wall rear projection SMART Board, NEC projectors, Crestron control, Polycom video conferencing.

The second move was to integrate similar technologies for Bantrel offices in other cities in Canada. This included branching out to other SMART products such as the mobile rear projection 3000i, plasma overlay, and Sympodium interactive pen display (in all branches). Video conferencing has been a recent initiative at both the boardroom and desk top level, across branches to reduce travel and increase inter-branch communication.
Results
Bantrel Co. has successfully moved to a culture of utilizing audio visual technology. The SMART product line and video conferencing has become ingrained in their culture and become a part of a more efficient communication process.
