Achieving superior customer outcomes

Barco is advancing its capabilities to achieve superior customer outcomes and follow a customer-first attitude, by combining hardware, software and services. Across every Barco business, it tries to fully understand customer needs and explore new business models to learn how it can deliver and capture value throughout the solution lifecycle. 

In 2019, consumers are buying experiences more than products and solutions and various researches have shown that customers are driven towards businesses which excel in providing great experiences. Barco always believes in delivering “wow experiences” and will continue to focus on building innovative products and solutions, with experience at its core.

Behind Barco’s slogan of “Enabling bright outcomes” there is a core truth. The products and services it sells often make a significant difference in the way companies work to collaborate and communicate. Its new visualization solution – Barco UniSee, which is completely bezel-less is a huge step forward for the video wall industry. Similarly, Barco ClickShare is a unique proposition for delivering a wireless experience for more effective, intuitive and worry-free collaboration in customer’s meeting and training rooms.
