Yeah, if you want to build a whiteboard, it may be a good solution. But
other than that, what can you use it for?

That's only EUR 3000 per board. How much does a projector cost that can
do at least 1600x1200 and comes in the professional quality probably
needed for what they are trying to do? How much does the canvas to
project on cost? What's the price for installing and setting up the
system? For training the users? EUR 3000 sounds about right for all
that, not even much.
The other question is, what do they need so many whiteboards for?
