Shaping the Smart Meeting Devices Market

Descripción

The way we meet, collaborate and share ideas is being fundamentally reimagined. In this episode of Digitise This, host Steve Chad is joined by Ian Neale, EMEA Channel Sales Director at PFU, and John Gallagher, AV Technical Lead at ADI Global Distribution, to explore the fast-evolving world of smart meeting devices. From laser projection lighting up theme parks and digital art galleries, to 360-degree cameras bringing true meeting equity to hybrid teams, to ultra-portable OLED monitors redefining where work happens, this conversation unpacks a market full of momentum. Together, Ian and John reveal how PFUE's focused three-pillar portfolio and its growing partnership with ADI are opening up new revenue streams for resellers and integrators across EMEA, and why the biggest opportunities may be hiding in plain sight. What you'll learn in this episode >> Why the AV market is bigger than you think - from a $4 billion projection market to a 360-camera segment forecast to hit $2 billion by 2030, and what that means for resellers looking to grow. >> How meeting equity is changing expectations - why organisations are demanding more than hardware, and how 360-degree AI-powered meeting devices are helping remote and in-room participants feel genuinely present. >> The case for laser projection in 2025 and beyond - why projection isn't legacy technology, how EU sustainability regulations are reshaping the market, and where versatility gives it the edge over LED. >> The monitor reinvented - how PFU's lightweight, touch-enabled OLED displays are transforming everything from airline boardrooms to car showrooms, and why they're built for a world of hot-desking and flexible work. >> How to unlock new revenue as an integrator - why security-focused resellers are ideally placed to cross over into AV, and how the PFU and ADI partnership is designed to support partners from first conversation to full deployment.

Scaling digitisation in healthcare: A BPO perspective

Healthcare digitisation isn't just a technology challenge, it's a matter of governance, patient safety, and operational survival. In Episode 5 of Digitise This, host Steve Chad is joined by Ola Cafferty from Data Scan Document Services and Paul Day from FileStream, to explore what large-scale healthcare document digitisation really looks like on the ground. From a regional hospital pilot processing 5,000 documents a day across a closed-loop network, to the complexities of scanning ECG traces, hospital charts, and records spanning nine decades, this episode goes beyond the theory and into the operational realities of one of the most sensitive and high-stakes environments imaginable. Together, Ola and Paul share how the right combination of hardware, automation software, and human expertise is helping Irish healthcare providers get ahead of the Digital for Care 2030 agenda and why the people side of digitisation matters just as much as the technology. What you'll learn in this episode >> How Ireland's Digital for Care 2030 strategy is driving urgent demand for healthcare digitisation and why GP practices, hospitals, and primary care providers are all approaching that challenge differently >> What it takes to run a proof-of-concept scanning pilot inside a regional hospital group, from building a standalone closed-loop network to training staff with no prior scanning experience from scratch >> Why automation is the difference between a scalable bureau operation and one that constantly struggles and how custom scripting and workflow design make the difference between viable and unviable >> How FileStream's server-based software handles the complexity of multi-document types, encrypted-at-rest data storage, and real-time quality control and why on-premise solutions still matter in sensitive healthcare environments >> What the procurement process taught Data Scan about trust, relationships, and why being a specialist, not the biggest player in the room can be the deciding factor in winning complex public sector contracts Meet our guests Orla Cafferty is the CEO of Datascan Redaction Services and Datascan Document Services, with 20+ years of experience delivering data protection and document management solutions across sectors.
