A total of 14 devices were installed in the company headquarters in Vienna. The interactive, 70-inch display features a 4K resolution, ensures productive collaboration and connects decentralised teams in virtual and hybrid meetings. The display is optimised for Microsoft applications and fits seamlessly into Wiener Netze’s existing work environment.
