The User Interface
ConnectKey 2017 gives you a consistent, intuitive user experience, whatever the model.
This means your users will learn one device and know them all. IT Managers and administrators will be pleased to learn there is only one device driver for all ConnectKey devices.
Large tablet-like, interfaces that tilt into place, let you swipe, tap and pinch through operations. Common functions as well as downloadable apps look familiar and work the same way.
Wizards speed through set-ups without the need for IT support. Customer self-help videos and troubleshooting tips can be viewed directly from the device's touch screen, providing quick solutions when the occasional intervention is required and without needing a service call. All designed to save time and minimise training.
You can set up a personalised experience for individuals or teams - including only the functions needed, customising the sequence of apps and providing the workflow that meets the specific requirement, creating a bespoke system in a matter of minutes.
