Client Comments:
We’ve been able to use (media:scape) to edit presentations as a group, real-time. The advisors love the space to hold client meetings and show off the new technology. …employees have said they can’t wait to get to work because our open office environment now matches the collaborative culture of our company.
All the visitors to our space are very impressed and the building owner has given several tours to guests.
