A few weeks ago I invited my team to a cabin in the mountains to prep for launch. This was in Norway and it's how we get stuff done. I plugged in a Cisco Spark Board and we were off. The Cisco Spark Board was really the only tool we needed to get work done right there and to bring in remote team members for discussions.

The Cisco Spark Board is a team tablet for your wall. It works with the Cisco Spark cloud platform. You can think about it as a physical extension of Cisco Spark into conference rooms and huddle spaces (and cabins).

There's a lot of advanced technology behind the scenes, but for the accountant, web designer, or executive in the meeting, it works a lot like their personal tablets. Hardware, software, and apps come together in one tool that is second nature to use.

All-in-One Gets It Done
The Cisco Spark Board combines three core capabilities into an amazing meeting experience. We picked the three most typical needs in a conference room. And were very clear on the order of priority as we were developing the product: first, the presentation screen and whiteboard, then a conferencing device. This mirrors how frequently people use the equipment in meeting rooms.

I've been in video conferencing for a long time, so it surprised me that this is how I use the Cisco Spark Board as well. I have a Spark Board in my office. Someone will walk into my office, we talk, look at a presentation, and white board our thoughts. Then this white board drawing is there in our 1:1 Cisco space to continue work or look back to refresh memories. No video required.

Here is a quick tour of the all-in-one capabilities:

Wireless presentation device:Showcase presentations, documents and drawings in your Spark room on a stunning 55-inch (or 70-inch coming soon), 4K UHD screen. You can share your presentations directly from the cloud or wirelessly. Or with a cable if you must.

A whiteboard like no other:Create, draw, and white board on a beautiful blank canvas. Team members can edit at the same time even from a mobile device or their own tablet. Cisco Spark instantly saves content to the whiteboard tab in your persistent team space.

The 4k super-bright optically bonded touch panel provides lifelike feeling. Seriously, the digital pen skates across the surface with a tactile experience that feels like a whiteboard marker, only better. It
