We looked at various vendors. Smart along with others did everything we needed to do, and we've got experience with Smart previously. Still have some installations on-site. In the end decided we'd stick with what we know. The smart water are being used across the trust at the moment. We've had really good feedback, and we felt that the technology was going to meet needs of what we needed to achieve. Previously, we used to use lots of paper and spreadsheets on different systems, but now we can put it all together on to the smart board, which makes things easier. Also is sharing as well. We've chosen to use interactive technology so that we can make use of that in the same way that we do with university students when they visit, and also it helps enhance the use of the rooms to have that interactivity. Even if it's just to control the PC.
