The Surface Hub, which is available with a 55-inch or 84-inch screen, is designed for collaboration, and enables multiple people to work on the device at the same time in a range of Windows 10 applications. With digital inking capabilities, each Surface Hub comes with two Surface Pens that enable users to write directly onto the screen. Integration with Microsoft services such as Skype for Business means people can work together remotely and easily share what they create in different ways, including email, OneNote or OneDrive.
“We are focused on providing organisations with the best possible collaboration tools to ensure employees are able to work together more easily and effectively,” says Wayne Mason, EMEA UCC Practice Lead and General Manager, Westcon-Comstor.
“The Microsoft Surface Hub absolutely ticks the box both from a technology perspective and in the culture of collaboration it creates. With our ability to wrap additional services around the Surface Hub and a comprehensive portfolio of complementary solutions for Skype for Business we are creating a very strong offer for the VAR community.”
“The addition of the Surface Hub to Westcon-Comstor’s portfolio will ensure that they are able to offer the VAR community the best possible collaboration solutions for customers throughout the UK & Ireland,” says Ryan Asdourian, Windows and Surface Lead, Microsoft UK.
