- Introduction -
Nowadays, more and more companies are attaching importance to the better conference room management for improving the rooms utilization and avoiding the overlapping meetings. During finding the proper room sign solution, what criterion is in your mind? Usefulness? Easy operation? Or any other else? I believe the price is the primary factor that influences any company administrator on making a decision.
Choosing a solution doesn’t mean you just pay for the single product, but you need to pay for other expenses as well. Hence, today we will focus on the total investment according to the TCO (a financial estimate intended to help buyers and owners determine the direct and indirect costs of a product or service)to make comparison among several digital room sign solutions. I hope we could help you choose the most cost-effective one.
