At First Metro Bank in Alabama, the team recently started using two NearHub S75 boards to improve their meeting experiences. Here’s a look at how they’re putting these boards to work in their day-to-day tasks and the improvements they’ve seen.
How First Metro Bank Improves work with NearHub Whiteboard
Before: Blurry Projections and Complicated Setups
Before adopting the NearHub S75 boards, the bank relied on traditional projectors for meetings, which often resulted in blurry images and technical issues. Screen sharing was a hassle, and meetings lacked clarity and efficiency.
After: Screen Casting for Smooth Meetings
Now, with the NearHub S75 boards and the Tail tool, screen casting has become smooth and effortless. Employees can easily share their screens during meetings, whether it’s a presentation, a report, or another important document. The image quality is crystal clear, and the process is straightforward—just plug in the Tail tool, and you’re ready to go. This has made meetings more efficient and interactive, with everyone able to see the content clearly.
Before: Crowded Meetings Around a Single Laptop
Previously, joining meetings meant crowding around a single laptop, with sound only coming from one person’s computer. If the whole team needed to be seen or heard, they had to use third-party cameras and speakers, making the setup cumbersome and time-consuming.
After: Real-Time Annotation for Clear Communication
The NearHub S75 boards have changed the game with their all-in-one functionality. No more huddling around a laptop or setting up external equipment. The board’s built-in features, like various camera modes, including speaker tracking, make it easy for everyone in the room to be seen and heard clearly. Additionally, the ability to annotate directly on the screen during meetings has been a game-changer. Team members can highlight key points, make notes, and emphasize important information in real-time. This has been particularly helpful during strategy sessions and when reviewing complex financial data.
Before: Writing on a Physical Whiteboard and Manual Saving
In the past, notes and ideas were scribbled on a physical whiteboard, which couldn’t be saved automatically. Important information had to be captured with phone cameras, which was neither efficient nor practical.
After: Presentations Made Easy
The bank now uses the boards for client presentations with great success. The large, clear display makes it easier to show clients financial projections, loan options, and other important information. The ability to annotate on the spot allows the bank’s representatives to tailor the presentation to the client’s needs, helping to answer questions and make decisions more efficiently. Plus, with the Canvas feature, notes and annotations are automatically saved to the cloud, eliminating the need for manual saving or taking pictures. Different projects can be easily created and stored, making collaboration seamless across various locations.
Before: Disconnected Virtual Meetings
With multiple branches, First Metro Bank often had virtual meetings, but the experience was disjointed. The technology struggled to keep everyone connected, and the lack of clarity made communication difficult.
After: Staying Connected Across Branches
Now, with the NearHub S75 boards, virtual meetings are much more connected and efficient. The boards provide a large, clear display for everyone to see, whether they’re in the same room or dialing in remotely. The improved connectivity has made it easier for teams across locations to collaborate and stay on the same page.
