SMART Technologies and Logitech Announce Availability of TAA-Compliant, High Secure Interactive Video Collaboration Solution

SMART Technologies – the leading innovator in interactive technology – proudly announces the availability of its new TAA-compliant M Pro Series interactive displays. These state-of-the-art panels were developed to meet stringent TAA requirements, for use in U.S. federal, state, and local government as well as corporate workplaces. 

Interactive display technology has become increasingly sought after in recent years, but exceptionally hard to source in accordance with TAA compliance. To be TAA eligible, a product must be manufactured or substantially transformed in a “designated country,” ensuring that the U.S. government procures goods from reliable and compliant sources for national security needs.  Such products reduce the risk of supply chain vulnerabilities and security risks.

For federal agencies and organizations these considerations are critical. In a recent webinar, a federal agency IT Project Manager commented that “We have been SMART customers since 2013. The new TAA-compliant M Pro is a necessary addition, ensuring our programs remain collaborative and secure.”

SMART and Logitech Collaborative Solutions

SMART isn’t the only technology leader investing heavily in TAA solutions. Logitech, the leading designer of software-enabled hardware products, has developed a trusted portfolio of TAA/NDAA-compliant solutions that seamlessly integrate with SMART interactive displays delivering simple, scalable, and secure all-in-one meeting solutions.

“As more government agencies transition to flexible and hybrid work practices, TAA/NDAA-compliant solutions are critical,” says Sudeep Trivedi, Head of Video Collaboration Alliances. “Logitech, in partnership with SMART, delivers complete solutions for rooms of all sizes, empowering more engaging and effective workforce collaboration experiences, while fulfilling the security and compliance requirements of our government customers.”
