SMART Vantage technology-management software

vantage

SMART Vantage is web-based software that makes it easy to manage your schools’ SMART Board interactive whiteboards and projectors. It gives you data that can help you increase efficiency, reduce costs and make more informed decisions about maintaining and allocating technology.


Get the most from your investment

With SMART Vantage, you get information on the SMART Board interactive whiteboard systems in your school or district, including how they're used and how much time remains before their projector bulbs need replacement. This data can help you reduce technology downtime by letting you know in advance when to perform maintenance. You can also generate reports, compare data, and even set schedules for powering SMART Board interactive whiteboard systems on and off.

It's easier to make informed decisions when you have the right data to guide you – that's why our technology-management software is an ideal planning tool. You get details on how much use your interactive whiteboard systems are getting and which software applications are used most often. This information can help you make data-based decisions on how to allocate technology, funding and professional development.
