SMART Technologies’ product line up includes classroom solutions that aim to make learning inspirational, along with corporate products that drive speed, clarity and collaboration and government products that aim to enhance group communications and expedite training.

There are other makes of interactive whiteboard products, but SMART Technologies is by far the leader in the market and worthy of your attention when scouting the field for interactive presentation solutions. In fact, SMART Technologies announced its one millionth SMART Board interactive whiteboard will rolled off the company’s production line in August 2008. SMART has sold about 70 percent more interactive whiteboards than its closest competitor.

According to first-half data for 2008 for the interactive whiteboard product category, SMART Technologies has a 53.3 percent global category share, up from 45.5 percent in the first half of 2007. The information comes from Futuresource, an industry-leading global research company that has tracked interactive whiteboard sales for the past eight years.

For more than 15 years, SMART Technologies has continued to develop and refine its SMART Board interactive whiteboard by improving hardware design and upgrading software. SMART Technologies predicts it will produce its two millionth SMART Board interactive whiteboard within the next couple of years.

What’s more, SMART Technologies won the Comenius EduMedia Signet 2008 Award for its Senteo interactive response system and the SMART Board 600i2 interactive white board system. SMART Technologies has received this award three times. SMART Technologies’ notebook software also won the 2008 Worlddidac Award.

SMART Technologies is not resting on its laurels, either. The company continues to innovate. One of its most recent introductions is the ability to add interactivity to plasma displays. On the corporate front, SMART Technologies has recently introduced three new product platforms for collaboration purposes.

SMART Technologies’ platforms leverage integrated data conferencing to enable fast and simple connections and a more collaborative environment than traditional data conferencing. SMART Technologies’ breakthrough innovation provides a robust level of interactivity in a single- or multi-display room where everyone can easily participate, regardless of location.
