IDG Contributor Network: Microsoft’s new Surface Hub 2: potential game changer for conference rooms

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The idea of collaborative screens for conference rooms has been bouncing around for some time
The promise of integrating video conferencing and digital white boards into a single offering certainly looked compelling but adaption has
lagged expectations
Much of this is tied to three problems, the solutions can be very expensive to buy and install, the devices can be very difficult to setup
and use, and people are creatures of habit and current habits don&t include using digital white boards
This last has been particularly problematic because no CEO likes seeing expensive technology go unused yet that has often been the case
after these things are installed.
