Digitisation and technological advancements are transforming the way companies operate. Keeping up with the pace is crucial in the increasingly competitive environment where businesses are trying to remain profitable to thrive in a post-pandemic world.

Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Skype, and many other virtual platforms gained popularity during the pandemic, where remote workplaces were key for survival. However, physical meeting rooms remain essential to make the day-to-day processes run smoothly as businesses navigate the hybrid work environment efficiently.

Meeting rooms are spaces where employees brainstorm ways to achieve various outcomes efficiently. Many decisions made in conference and meeting rooms dictate a company’s future. These multi-purpose rooms are used for various functions, including interacting with clients, partners, suppliers, teams, and other stakeholders using audiovisual mediums.  

While SMEs rarely have enough resources to streamline the same technology as Fortune 500 companies, sometimes simple meeting room solutions are enough to grow and globalise.

Cost-Effective Audiovisual Installations for Small Business Meeting Rooms

Smart Whiteboards

PowerPoint may be a traditional way to put a point across in business meetings, but with new ways to grab the audience’s attention, the monotonous slides with limited multimedia options might not be as effective.  

Interactive whiteboards like the SMART Board 480 and Smart Board 680 / 685 can change the narrative. With many innovative built-in features that are easy to use, these smart whiteboards help gain people’s attention more easily during meetings. They offer more multimedia and collaborative opportunities than their traditional counterparts do.

E-boards allow free-style interaction with a dual touch feature so that multiple participants can interact with the media simultaneously. The pen tray is intuitive, so flicking, zooming, and rotating content is easy, which makes the content easier to comprehend. The low-gloss surface is durable and easy to clean, so maintenance of these smart whiteboard models isn’t complex either.

Projector, TV, or Smart Screens 

Knowing how to use office space effectively is important to ensure optimal efficiency. Smart screens, TV, and projectors are a great way to make meetings more engaging. For relatively smaller meeting rooms, televisions are suitable options because you can get models that are large enough for a handful of people to see comfortably.

Motorised TV mounts or lifting mechanisms such as the Future Automation FSE90 Motorised Swivel Flat Screen Wall Mount or the Future Automation PSE90 Motorised Swivel Bracket are also available to optimise the usability, functionality, safe storage, and viewing experience for all present in the meeting room.

For larger meeting rooms, laser projectors might be a more effective solution for showing media without compromising your image. Epson projectors, such as EB-L510U and Epson EB-700U, are excellent choices for those looking for high-resolution and multi-featured options.

The models have 5000 and 4000 lumens bulbs, respectively. They support HD resolution at a 16:10 aspect ratio. These laser projectors also feature HDMI, VGA, and wireless LAN adapter ports. Investing in projector lifts is a great way to improve your chosen projector’s efficiency and life span.

Interactive screens are another great way to present ideas in an impressive way to clients. BenQ, iiYama, Smart, Promethean, Clevertouch, and many other brands offer top-notch smart screens that can be excellent alternatives to traditional mediums.

These screens are collaborative tools that allow multiple users to interact with the content on the screen simultaneously. Most options offer over 50,000 usage hours, making them a cost-saving solution in the long term.

These screens are available in many sizes and boast intuitive software with high-tech, low-friction, and HD LED touch screens that allow picture-perfect and glare-free view while making the fingers glide smoothly to facilitate a seamless touch experience.

You can get CTOUCH Tilt and Lift Mobile Trolley, CTOUCH Electric Adjustable Height Trolley, CTOUCH Fixed Height Wall Support, and wall mounting to use these screens with safety flexibility.

Microphones and Speakers

These underrated technologies are essential to ensure everyone in the meeting room can understand the speaker clearly. Noise and echo cancellation are as important as being able to hear crystal clear sound. Invest in powerful ceiling speaker systems such as the Lithe Audio Passive Speaker, or check out other varieties if you want more aesthetic, discreet options. If you’re looking to invest in portable speakers, Bluetooth ceiling speakers are a great option.
