An efficient and productive office
In my experience, since setting up multi monitors in our front office, productivity and effiency has definitely increased. Our customer service representatives are always busy – on the phone with customers while at the same time working on sales proposals and also handling customer walk-ins. With multi monitors they are now able to manage their time more efficiently. They are now able to display two sales contracts at once. One screen with one contract, while opening the other screen with another contract for the call-in customer or the walk-in customer. Emailing has also been easier to do. Drag and drop images, documents etc. from one screen to the other. There is a recent study conducted by the University of Utah that found that using multi screen display can increase efficiency and productivity by 44% over a single monitor display. Having multi monitors on your pc will not blow your office supply budget. It’s affordable and easy to set-up.
