Steljes signs a new exclusive distribution agreement with SMART Technologies
Ian Goodhind, COO of Steljes commented “this announcement is testament to the strength of our relationship with Smart Technologies. We have been distributing SMART Board™ interactive whiteboards since they first came to the UK in 1997 and have steadily grown the UK market share year on year, carving out their position as the leading interactive whiteboard brand.”
In this time there has been much progress from the original glass-backed boards, to the lightweight and resilient SMART Board 600i interactive whiteboard systems we see today. SMART’s technology portfolio has continued to outpace the market and now includes award-winning products such as Notebook™ collaborative learning software, SychronEyes™ classroom management software, Sympodium™ interactive pen displays, Airliner™ wireless slates and the new Senteo™interactive response system.
On their stand at BETT 08 this week, Steljes and SMART will be demonstrating a range of brand new products to be launched this year. These include the latest version of the award-winning interactive whiteboard software - Notebook 10, the SMART Learning Marketplace, Senteo 2.0, and brand new SMART Board interactive whiteboards.
“SMART has enjoyed a close and collaborative relationship with Steljes for more than ten years,” says Nancy Knowlton, SMART’s CEO. “That relationship allows us to strengthen our position as a leading provider of ICT products and group collaboration tools, while maintaining a long-term focus of satisfying customer needs.”
