For some time now I have made my living by designing and installing collaboration rooms with using Cisco technology and peripheral equipment including mics whether they be table or ceiling or even wireless.

Whilst I can appreciate the design and ease of use that the Sparkboard offers it does make me think that having seen so many of our offerings become commoditised that the bespoke room is going the same way.

I do accept that there will always be some higher spec environments where the Sparkboard is just one element but not some many of these compared to a standard room.

Our expertise seems to get less relevant as technology moves forward.
