Creating mood boards offline using the
TRADITIONAL METHOD, including the
board, tape, adhesive, Stanley knife & labels, &
software-based using photo editing programs like
Photoshop is useful.

What SampleBoard
can do for you
concept creation online
Professional Visual Concepts in Minutes

1. Minimized overhead costs
SampleBoard provides an affordable alternative to traditional out-of-the-box
software such as Adobe Photoshop, significantly reducing software costs, hardware,
power, support staff, administration & security. In exchange, your organization will get a
longer-term cash flow that is more predictable because of a relationship that is service-
based.
2. Ease of speed & deployment
SampleBoard requires little or no integration & involvement with your IT department
for the initial implementation, long-term maintenance & support. The interface is
designed to be easily configurable & delivered as a service that is hosted, supported,
and maintained by SampleBoard.
Designed from the ground up to be “multi-tenant,” it can support many users
concurrently using the same version of software on Mac or PC.

3. Easy to learn, requiring little, if any, training
Traditional enterprise software is not always easy to use because user interfaces are
often created before it is known exactly how the software will be used, thus the need for
training. SampleBoard’s software is easier to use due to the streamlined, intuitive
interface that can be customized to suit your organizations needs with the ability to
analyze which elements of the application are being used (or not used) and customize
the solution accordingly.
4. No upgrades required
With the ability to upgrade with new features without impact to the core technology
stack, SampleBoard can make new releases instantly available, which means the costly,
time-consuming, and often delayed upgrades that plague traditional enterprise software
are a thing of the past.

5. Fewer backups and storage
Your organization will not have to store the software or data on your computers or
hardware. That means the elimination of need for big storage facilities for data and/or
large image files. It is also a convenient model since data storage and backups are now
the responsibility of the host company ie SampleBoard
6. Simplified budget signoffs
SaaS solutions are gaining traction in enterprise and institutions because unlike
traditional enterprise software, which requires the buy-in and support from multiple
divisions within a company, enterprise SaaS departmental applications like
SampleBoard can be sold directly to the line of business owner such as the Creative
department.
