Charleston Air Force Base is home to a number C-17 cargo planes that are used extensively for our current conflicts. The system to coordinate the scheduling of flights and flight data is a priority for the staff. The Air Force was looking for a way to be able to change computer driven data at the touch of a finger instead of using a white board, erasing and re-writing data every time a change had to be made. They also had a need for displaying data and writing on top of the data with digital ink with the ability to save the writing so it could be emailed or printed.

The WH Platts Company installed a SMART Technologies SMART Board to take care of their needs. The SMART Board enables them to display computer applications and data, such as schedules or programs and enables the user to manipulate the data with their finger, or pick up a pen and write with digital ink on top of the application. If they write on the board, they can save, email or print the data.

The SMART Board solution has made their operation more collaborative, effective and efficient and probably more fun!
