Collaborative business technology Over the last five years, the requirements of business buyers have evolved. The old meeting room projectors are increasingly being replaced by new models which support collaborative working. Business users not only want brighter, clearer images for viewing in daylight conditions, they also want greater connectivity options and an expanded set of features to support greater energy efficiency, lower cost of ownership and improved ease-of-use. For these buyers replacing their legacy models with a new ViewSonic projector makes sense both in terms of functionality and cost of ownership. Even in the budget category, today's business projectors are completely different animals to those available five years ago. ViewSonic's PJL9371: high brightness LCD venue projector. Business buyer demands The demands placed on business projectors are as diverse as the technology solutions. The projector is the means of content delivery for all manner of digital media to support decision making. New demands include: n Collaboration: The use of meeting room projectors as collaboration tools is a prime example of changing patterns of use and demands greater connectivity. n Media: Rich media content is now a feature of many presentations, placing greater demands on projector performance and image quality. ViewSonic's projector range offers considerable variety of connectivity options, including HD sources including HDMI. ViewSonic's Interactive pen turns compatible projectives into collaborative tools. n Ease of use: Business users are often confronted with unfamiliar hardware as they move from location to location, or even room-to-room. ViewSonic has incorporated intuitive interfaces and controls into its projectors, with ease-of-use paramount. n Interactivity: The interactive projector is the new dry-wipe board for today's offices and meeting spaces. This compact device supports both presentations and collaboration, using ViewSonic's Interactive Pen technology to annotate the projected image. n Reliability: Frequently reported problems by business users of projectors include image quality, usually resulting from failing lamps or dirty filters. ViewSonic has reduced the maintenance overhead by increasing lamp life and guarding against dust with sealed optics. n Remote management: With network enabled models, operation can now be conducted remotely via the network, Some projectors can be focused, tilted, lens shifted and even powered off or on from a web browser in the engineer or IT manager's office. n Cost of ownership: To reduce the total cost of ownership, ViewSonic has focused its efforts on technologies which cut overall energy consumption, so reducing the costs of operation and the environmental impact of the projector.
