Managing a large meeting room estate can be overwhelming if the enterprise does not have a standardized model for deployment. In this session, we'll review the current state of conference room technology with various scenarios, highlighting the frustrations and inefficiencies stemming from a lack of standardization. We'll then discuss the tangible benefits of a standardized approach, including:

  • Increased Productivity: Users will be able to start meetings faster without technical difficulties.
  • Reduced Training Time: The universal interface means less time spent on training and more time on actual work.
  • Streamlined IT Support: A consistent technology stack makes troubleshooting and maintenance significantly easier.
  • Proposed Solutions & Next Steps

We'll explore the various options in the industry by room type and show benefits and misses by manufacturer for each room type. We'll also explore potential solutions, such as adopting a single A/V platform, and discuss the process for creating and implementing a company-wide standard. Attendees will leave the session with a clear understanding of options to enable them to move forward with standards.
