What does collaboration mean in aworld where knowledge drives the globalmarketplace? Where disciplines converge andcontinents merge?

Think technology. Think freedom.

Freedom to work with your colleagues anywhere, anytime with any digital device

or application. This is the freedom that defines a new generation of collaboration.

ImagineImagine a workspace where communication flows freely between individuals

and groups. Where access to information is immediate. Because your

best minds are linked, ideas grow and evolve, giving your company a

competitive edge in todays global, knowledge-based marketplace.

You are connected whenever and wherever you want to be. You canaccess information anywhere even as you walk down the corridor in

your building. You can press the interactive touch screen on the wall and a

map appears, guiding you to your meeting room. Once there, you connect

electronically with your office overseas, where your colleagues share their

work with you on panoramic touch displays. You transmit files from your

mobile device, and with a touch of the screen, you review and discuss issues

using spreadsheets, competitors websites and sales figures. Once you and

your colleagues reach a decision, you save the notes youve all made and

download them onto your laptop. Youre ready for your next meeting.

Open communicationSMART gives you the freedom to communicate and collaborate. We

give you the ability to meet and make decisions efficiently, leveraging

the collective skills and knowledge of your team. We promise

innovative technology solutions that keep you competitive as your

company evolves solutions that inspire you to work together.

PerpetualinnovationInnovation has always been a key factorin economic development, but in todaysglobal marketplace, its crucial. Yourtechnology solutions should have theagility and stamina to help establish youas a leader in your field. They should be ascreative and inventive as you are.

SMARTs tradition of innovation began when we created the

touch-sensitive interactive whiteboard. Founded on the principles

of collaboration and innovation, SMART pours energy into

research and development every day. We ask our team of scientists

and researchers to invent technology solutions that give the

corporate world new and better ways to work together.

And our R&D group rises to that challenge. They design not only the

products that fill universal corporate needs, but products that meet

the most specific needs. From multiscreen interactive whiteboards

to touch tables to collaborative software, our technology solutions

are bound only by the limits of our imagination and yours.

For engineers who work on

oshore platorms or global oil

and gas companies, collaboration

across distance is critical to

success. Engineers need to

communicate between home

ofces and oshore rigs, and

remote teams need to sharelarge quantities o data. SMART

solutions enable teams to view

inormation, brainstorm and

capture ideas simultaneously. As

a result, decision making is aster,

travel costs are reduced and

downtime is minimized.

from our customers experiences and recommend solutions.

Then we help you design an implementation plan.

From beginning to endBy integrating our hardware and software with yours, we help you

create an environment where collaboration sparks creativity and

efficiency. We help you determine which solutions suit your needs, and

we can even customize hardware and software to find that perfect

match. We assist with installation, provide project management

and help train your teams. To ensure that your technology solutions

are used to their full potential, we see to it that the right product

is in the right space, being used by the right people. Well after oursolutions are integrated into your workspaces, we can continue to

improve systems, monitor usage and assess your changing needs.

We work with you to ensure that your investment pays off.

A collaboration technology company canbring you connectivity and innovation, but

its solutions are most effective when tailoredto your needs when your vision, goals andmethods help determine your digital solutions.

Systems engineers say that

SMART solutions have

transormed the way they work

and collaborate. Key to this

transormation are unlimited

interactive whiteboard space

and the ability to capture ideas

on an interactive whiteboard,

without the need to retype

notes. Being able to share and

exchange these ideas with

engineers overseas has resulted

in shortened development

cycles and lower costs.
