We're attending LUPC & SUPC virtual conference 2021 

As universities welcome back students and members of staff to in-person education, Banner want to ensure this transition back to ‘normality’ is a safe, comfortable, and stress-free one!

The future of education settings will look a little different than we’ve been used to, and here at Banner we’ve got you covered. We provide the products needed to refresh your environment and protect students and colleagues alike, enabling universities to re-open safely.

The concept of digital transformation has many components but put simply, it is fundamentally deploying the use of technology to change the way people do things to streamline efficiencies.

Digital transformation was a buzzy trend before the COVID-19 pandemic, but it has had a resurgence of interest in light of the changes to the workplace in 2020 with organisations adopting new digital tools and process to better support remote work.

With the last 12 months totally changing the way we work; flexible working has now become a hot topic within the workplace.

If your team wants to continue working flexibly, you can help them get there by giving them the right tools to do so. Work isn’t somewhere you go, it’s something you do. So however (or wherever) you need to work, there’s a Jabra product that can help you get the most out of your day.

Jabra have spent years developing a world class portfolio of devices to enable productivity. Their range of headsets, speakerphones and video conferencing tools have been meticulously designed and engineered to support you – so whether you’re working from home, or from your smartphone, or need to take meetings where you are, we’ve got you covered.
