THE OPPORTUNITY

GSK was preparing to move staff from multiple locations to one location and required more formal and informal meeting spaces. To accommodate the needs of all GSK staff, an easy-to-use AV solution that promoted collaboration between external offices was needed. GSK wanted to create meeting rooms with advanced active conference and collaboration technology to unite employees and create interactive presentation environments.

THE ADVANCED SOLUTION

Advanced worked with GSK to create an integrated and collaborative solution for each meeting space. From small, formal meeting spaces to more open, informal collaboration spaces, each room was designed to accelerate innovation.

For all rooms, both formal and informal, Advanced installed the latest SMART Board technology to improve the way the Company shared information. The interactive whiteboards make it possible for employees to share digital notes with each other, irrespective of physical location, within seconds thereby increasing productivity and enabling a spirit of teamwork and camaraderie.
