Productive, seamless meeting rooms
Hybrid Working demands a seamless, consistent experience no matter where your team are working or on what equipment. No location is more important than meeting rooms, which house some of your most populated and therefore most expensive meetings, and the experience generated for everyone at every end of the call is a priority.
Your meeting room can be transformed by:
- Interoperability with all major Hybrid Working Platforms.
- Quality microphones and acoustic management.
- One click login for calls and wireless sharing.
- A single control panel for lights, screens and cameras.
- A room booking system using Outlook integration and a room door tablet.
Make home working a super strength
A hybrid working strategy is only as strong as its weakest link. The most visible (and audible) sign of this is AV. Low-quality microphones and cameras will always pose challenges, particularly in noisy offices or with poor mobile connectivity.
That’s why we have an AV team specialising in solving these often-overlooked problem areas, making sure you have the resources to work and be productive anywhere.
FAQs
Hybrid working employees spend some time in their central office, and some time elsewhere, either at home or in another location. Of course, successful hybrid working relies on solutions that bridge the gap between office and home.
While a big driver has been the pandemic, the move to more flexible working, including hybrid, has been around for a while. The advent of cloud and BYOD culture are two drivers which have already helped show organisations the potential of remote working.
Much like how we work with our clients, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. This entirely depends on your hybrid working goals, your current environment, and your end users. Naturally, we offer solutions and consultancy to help you succeed in all these areas.
This is where your on-premises users can connect to Teams, where they can take advantage of the multiple cloud services offered.
Hybrid deployments are currently supported in Microsoft 365 plans that support Azure Active Directory synchronisation. Microsoft 365 Apps for business and home don’t support hybrid deployments, while these do: Business Standard, Basic, Academic and Government, and midsize plans
