Birlasoft, a global information technology company that uses advanced technologies to build sustainable applications, bought ClickShare and wePresent WiPG-1000 a year ago for six of its meeting rooms.
Before purchasing Barco’s equipment, Birlasoft had never used a wireless presentation system.
They were looking for a wireless collaboration that worked with other meeting room devices and something that was as easy to use as it was innovative. After evaluating and comparing what the competition offered, they chose Barco, not just because of its strong reputation, but also because Barco’s products best suited what they were looking for.
What ultimately sold them on Barco was that diverse devices supported various output ports – such as HDMI, DP – and it all worked with the click of a button, making it a no-brainer to figure out. No more wires, special adaptors, or ports to accommodate different devices, and an end to downloading software. The installation was painless. Bingo, a wireless presentation system that takes the hassle out of board meetings.
“We are coming up with new offices wherein we would need more technology-enabled solutions to enhance work efficiency and productivity and we would definitely consider Barco for it,” said Kishore Ranjan, Head Technology & Operations, Birlasoft India.
“Through ClickShare we were able to overcome the challenge of carrying additional wires and adaptors and avoid the unsightly jumble of cables in our meeting rooms. ClickShare couldn’t be simpler with no software to download and no training required. And everyone who has used ClickShare so far is excited about how everything works with the tap of a button, leaving nothing more to figure out,” added Kunal Kaushik, Manager IT.
Birlasoft works in IT consulting, offshore technological software solutions, business automation, custom business applications and digitization on four continents and with a staff of 4,000.
