conference room schedule display

- Introduction -

Nowadays, more and more companies are attaching importance to better conference room management for improving the rooms utilization and avoiding overlapping meetings. During finding the proper room sign solution, what criterion is in your mind?

  • Problem-solving
  • Pricing
  • Easy to setup
  • easiness of installation

Or any other else? Problem-solving: sync with the room schedule, of course, will be the primary factor. Otherwise, why bother to install a meeting room display? 

What comes next mostly will be the cost of this solution. Choosing a solution doesn’t mean you just pay for the single product, but you need to pay for other ongoing costs (e.g. subscription fee, maintenance fee) as well.

Hence, today we will focus on the total investment according to the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) to make comparisons among several digital room sign solutions. I hope we can help you choose the most cost-effective one.

Well, let’s get started it!
