A research study carried out by AIMTech, Leeds Universitys research group and sponsored by Steljes, SMARTs exclusive distributor in the UK, shows that the use of SMART Board interactive whiteboards for public safety planning and briefings has resulted in considerable improvements in effectiveness of communication.
The interactive whiteboards contribute to added participation, better attention and reception of what is being discussed. This results in better and more accurate understanding of what has been communicated and better retention of information.
The study also finds that the whiteboards provided a faster build-up of a common operational picture in command and control, and reduced instances of misunderstanding between those involved in the management of an incident, resulting in faster decisions.

In an article by Laura Hailstone on VNUNet.com, she reports on the current trends in sales of interactive whiteboards based on market research by Decision Tree Consulting.
Reportedly, the whiteboard market which is driven mainly by the requirements of the education sector is reaching maturity, which implies that annual sales could be on a downward spiral. According to the news article, about 73000 interactive whiteboards were sold last year, about 10000 less than the year before. This year the sales could go down by another 13000 units.
Sales are expected to remain at the same level for the next couple of years before beginning to go up again.
However, another school of thought projects that the demand from the replacement segment could kick in much earlier than projected and that the sales outlook need not be as pessimistic.
Another related opportunity is for sellers of projectors that are used with whiteboards. This is because the lifespan of projectors is lower than that of interactive whiteboards.
