Delivering streamlined collaboration for modern workplaces

Modern workplaces have transformed from closed-door meeting spaces to meet-anywhere, multipurpose workspaces designed for hybrid collaboration. According to recent IDC data, communication and collaborative tools are the most used tools for employees in their day-to-day work with 71% using them daily.

As the office becomes the destination for collaboration, users are craving a simpler way to connect. The problem with video meetings in the past was overcoming the ‘can you see me; can you hear me?’ challenge. Put simply, yesterday’s rigid solutions don’t meet the needs of today’s workforce.

Neat, a Norwegian video technology company, addresses the complexities of the modern workplace with flexible and simple solutions. The Neat Board 50, a portable, all-in-one digital canvas, transforms idea generation and collaboration workspaces.

The Neat Board 50 is a movable, all-in-one collaboration solution that goes beyond video and audio, acting as a digital canvas for any creative or collaborative meeting. With a 50″ screen, Neat Board 50 travels on wheels and is adaptable to any space, even creating a space within a space where needed. This provides a flexible collaboration solution that can keep up with the demands of today’s hybrid workplace.

Neat devices natively support Zoom, Microsoft Teams and a range of business applications. The Neat Board 50 also comes equipped with a Neat Marker, providing immediate response and just the right amount of friction to facilitate writing, mark-ups or sketches.

The Neat Board 50 also features Neat’s patented technology, Neat Symmetry. By making virtual meetings feel almost as real as meeting face to face, Neat Symmetry combines advanced AI with a high-resolution sensor to detect everyone in the meeting room whether seated or standing, zooming in to individually pinpoint and auto-frame each person, then presenting them up close on remote participants’ screens.

Neat Board 50 also offers Neat Boundary, removing any background distractions and ensuring that project discussions stay focused. Neat’s audio processing technology also ensures that the conversation flows naturally, without any echo or static.

The Neat Board is an affordable and value-packed option, designed to be the ‘Swiss Army Knife’ of workplace operations — especially in the public sector.

Every government agency is focused on delivering critical services to citizens as quickly and cost-effectively as possible. Neat video devices allow government employees to collaborate and engage with both internal and external stakeholders with ease. For example, healthcare providers can connect face to face with patients and local government offices can communicate directly with their tax-paying residents.

In May 2023, Neat utilised this technology to aid the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS). The non-profit organisation needed help maintaining relations with hospitals, health clinics and departments around Australia, while also allowing its members to train, examine and workshop. By installing the Neat Boards on wheels in RACS, they were able to move the screens into different rooms when required. The smooth incorporation of Neat devices, and streamlining the set-up process for video meetings, enabled RACS members to concentrate on their primary focus — their surgical duties.
