Reference from Prenzlau State School
Phil McPhail and his team at Prolam Brands have shown a level of customer service and professionalism above reproach. Over the years we have dealt with Prolam Brands we have found their knowledge and expertise has guided us in ensuring we found the best fit technology for our desired purpose. Throughout the process of acquiring our Interactive LCD panels, all communication between Prolam Brands and our school has been prompt and succinct with any questions answered with an appreciated level of personalised service. Prolam Brands clearly understand the needs of schools (of all sizes) and have always made us feel a valued client. From initial consultation to personal delivery of our product, Prolam Brands have gone above-and-beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. Whilst on site they ensured installation flowed smoothly, adhered to EQ safety protocols and of course any of our own site expectations. We have been delighted with the quality of our panels and they certainly are what we were looking for in our educational setting. One of the significant reasons for selecting Prolam Brands was the products being value for money and undoubtedly, their product knowledge. No question goes unanswered and we were always made to feel in control of the decision-making in order to find what was a best-fit for us in our small school context. Prolam Brands deliver on time with a friendly smile and provide a level of service second to none!

Prolam Brands’s 19th Year with QASSP
It’s Phil MacPhail your Audio Visual Business partner here!
I stood out front at the recent QASSP branch presidents meeting at Belise and was introduced to you all for the 19th time. I must say that that in itself is a stand out performance! Looking around the room I recognised just over half the group this year. You can imagine over my time with QASSP I have dealt with five QASSP Presidents, namely Tom Hardy, Tony McRuther, Norm Hart, Michael Fay and now Leslie Single. I have also seen a lot of members go into retirement, start their new role as a Principal and get transferred all around the state. I’m lucky to say that I have forged some really good friendships over the last 19 years. I am now hoping, with your continued support that we can make it to 20 years in 2019.
I would like to personally visit as many branches as possible this year, albeit that’s a big task. I would appreciate if you could advise me of your branch meeting schedules for this year so we can work together and bring along a lot of our new products for the group to see. We are now at the forefront of STEM and have many products which have been aligned to the Australian Curriculum to make it easier to purchase. Don’t forget your STEM grants need to be spent somewhere.
We are also conducting Conferences around the State on “how to create a STEM precinct in your school”. I can discuss holding one of these in your area if you are interested.
I really appreciate your support. Our financial contributions to QASSP are significant each year and on top of that, we support the QLD State School Education Community in many ways. So it is important that we work together to keep this alive. Our product range is more than current and presents as good or better than our competitors, none of which provide the financial support that we do to the QLD school community.
The enormous PRODUCT GIVEAWAY is on again at the State COMBINED CONFERENCE, later this year. You don’t have to wait to get into the draw so please communicate to your IT, Deputy and BSM’S as to who we are and stress how important it is to ensure we are included in buying decisions. Unfortunately many members forget to do this. I can personally guarantee our products and their value, in which will stand up to any test. I have been doing this now for 21 years for our Schools.
All the best for 2018, it’s already moving too fast.
Interactive LED Touch Panels VS Interactive Whiteboards
With technology continually updating and changing it is fair to say we can all get a little overwhelmed with the options available on the market.
How do you decide what technology you need?
When do you upgrade your existing technology?
When it comes to efficiency, productivity and engagement levels. You really should consider integrating a Interactive LED touch panel into your classroom, meeting room or office environment.
Lets have a look at the comparisons between the Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) technology and the new Interactive LED touch panel technology.
Interactive whiteboards were a fantastic piece of equipment when they launched. This was the beginning of interactive learning. The level of student engagement increased as students were able to physically participate and interact with the teachers and the learning material on the whiteboard.
Fast forward to 2016 and the Interactive LED Touch Panel is well establish and started to take over the Interactive Technology market. These panels not only look the part, they don’t have the same ongoing costs of the IWB. For instance, an Interactive Whiteboard would require yearly bulb replacement, calibration, and filter cleaning making it more hands on for the teachers and IT departments at schools. Not to mention getting up on ladders and taking the machines down to fix and clean.
The anti-glare technology on the Interactive Touch panels allows teachers to teach in a well lit environment. As far as cleaning goes, you need a damp cloth to remove finger prints. That is all! Oh did I mention the IWB usually required the rooms to be blacked out to reduce glare?
The Interactive LED Touch Panels are as easy to use as your standard Televisions. Plug-in and play. There are various screen sizes available, wall mounts and electronic mobile trolleys. Making it easy for you to integrate this new smart technology into your environment.
Usually you will upgrade your technology when your existing products no longer perform they way they once did, or your current running costs exceed the outlay to purchase the latest technology.
We offer a TRADE UP program. Where you get a discount with your upgrade to a new Interactive LED Touch Panel and we take your old IWB off your hands, dismantle and dispose of in an environmentally conscious process.
