MS Surface to be launched in retail banks and offices.
Logica, a leading IT and business services company and Rabobank, a leading international financial services provider, are for the first time launching a client facing interactive and multi-touch MS Surface meeting table. The solution is set to revolutionize visual communication between the bank and its customers as well as internally between its employees, thereby facilitating new ways of collaboration at work.
The MS Surface table will allow the bank to explain mortgage and loan facilities to its customers in an easy to understand, interactive way. Rabobank will also install the table in their central office in Utrecht for employee meetings. Logica will coordinate the project and in partnership with Rabobank will analyse the various possibilities of this new collaboration method.
The MS Surface table has a multi-functional touch screen. Just by using your fingers it's possible to open programmes and move documents or pictures to every corner of the screen. It is also possible to let multiple users work with the table and to communicate online with clients or colleagues across multiple locations. Participants will therefore have the ability to meet in an extremely interactive and productive way.

Logica is the first IT service company to launch ready to use interactive tables for European customers. We expect the table to become an integral instrument within companies that helps improve corporate work processes in the years to come."
Logica is currently implementing the table in the Dutch province of Zealand together with provincial library in a programme to teach grammar school children the dangers of traffic.
