The digital revolution is bring about transformations in almost every sector. Pharmaceutical, trading and financial firms are all striving to take on a leading role in this new era. This fundamental change has not yet fully taken hold in Germany’s business landscape, and so many companies are looking to change themselves from within. One technology producer is helping businesses to thrive in this new age. Find out about the supporting infrastructure on offer to companies from BenQ.

When speaking about developing new business models for the digital age, Mathias Hermann, CEO of comwrap, sees change that is unprecedented in history.
“Our clients have been in business for around 50 years, even 100 in some cases, and they are seeing their businesses models collapse”, says Hermann. “The general trend towards digitalization that we are currently seeing is, in my opinion, an even bigger deal than the industrial revolution.

Driven by this development and by meticulous consultation and implementation of digital projects, comwrap has long been a partner to German heavyweights such as Helios Kliniken and DZ Bank.

Challenge
Even as comwrap itself was helping century-old brands move into the digital age, it was confronted with having to transform its own presentation technology.

Problems with HDMI laid cables began to stack up in 2016. Due to the ongoing frustration, they for forced to start searching for more effective presentation solutions.

A wide range of promising products were tested. However, wireless presentation systems were quickly overshadowed by problems such as poor stability, high latency, and software requirements that were not user-friendly. The meant that some solutions were immediately tossed into the garbage as soon as they crashed.

Solution

Only after fitting a projector to the ceiling of the conference room did the right solution appear.

“I was thinking about no longer bothering with a wireless presentation solution as none of them quite fit the bill”, says Hermann about his thoughts at the time

“And then in came this installation technician with a projector and placed the BenQ InstaShow on my desk. He said its the best solution he knows and that I should give it a go. At this point I was pretty sure that there were no satisfactory solutions. After connecting the InstaShow I was immediately amazed by how simple it was to set up. Simply insert two plugs and your presentation is ready to go without needing any software. And latency times are minimal, especially in video mode! I was absolutely blown away - and that’s putting it mildly.”

A few days after the start of the trial phase with InstaShow, comwrap organized an event with more than 60 attendees. Due to past experiences, Mathias Hermann made sure to have a replacement cable standing by in case of problems. However, even in this extreme situation, InstaShow provided a smooth presentation experience:

“We held the entire presentation with three different speakers and everything was seamless. They could simply click the button and start their presentation. It was absolutely fantastic, and the replacement cable was not used even once. This was the moment that I decided to purchase four of the devices to put in all of our meeting rooms.”

In summary, Hermann finds the convenience, IT support savings, and valuable time saving to be ideal. The real win for him is in the external effects:
“It is the overall impression one gets from the meeting. When an external speaker comes in and give them the InstaShow dongle to connect their device, they are amazed. This is how we want customers to perceive us as a brand - that we are on top of everything we do. I mean, we are the digital experts, right? And we have a solution that few people are familiar with.”
