Diesel Technology Company Technical Presentations
Diesel Technology Company manufactures injectors for diesel engines. Staff regularly use a SMART Board to give internal and external presentations. Engineers use the Board during project management meetings and brainstorming sessions. 'An employee who is comfortable walking up to a traditional whiteboard and sketching or writing ideas is comfortable using the SMART Board.' The Board allows everyone to participate in the meeting instead of relying on the person with the mouse and the keyboard to input ideas. It is also very effective for giving customer presentations because the presenter is able to interact with the information, whether it is company background information or complex new product designs. The SMART Board is a sales tool that adds impact and emphasis to Diesel's technical presentations.

Multilin Inc. Visual Presentations
Multilin Inc. manufactures electronic motor protection relays.

The Board allows Multilin engineers to enlarge computer images and draw attention to particular components by writing over top of the image. Because of the variety of models manufactured by Multilin, focusing customer attention on the different components of each design on a large, interactive display is an effective way to present customers with their purchase options.

Teachers show lecture materials by projecting computer slides onto the SMART Board and simply moving through the lecture by touching on the screen to bring up new slides. This interaction with the information adds excitement to classes and motivates the students to learn.
