Editor's Notes

• #3: Work takes place everywhere from being on the go to large community gatherings and there are video collaboration opportunities within each of these workspaces. The most common workspace with video is in the office for medium to large conference rooms. These are generally rooms that have been deemed “Videoconference rooms”. These rooms are setup with displays in the front of the room and a camera attached with a conference room table facing the display for anywhere to 5-20 participants in the room. Focusing on these medium to large meeting rooms, there are different options for video collaboration solutions. source: Knoll Workplace Research, Activity Spaces onedrawingaday.com
• #4: When purchasing for these rooms there are two options. Traditionally, there is the custom build where an organization desires to design a system for each specific room. This is a great option if you want to choose certain components and build a system for a room with unique requirements. It can get complicated because each room can have different equipment so training and maintenance is not streamlined. The new option that many organizations are turning towards are all-in-one solutions. These solutions are similar to buying a laptop – where everything is included and no construction is needed. It provides a consistent look with a standard set of components. Generally, there are not options to customize the solution and is considered a “one size fits all” solution. This helps streamline training and maintenance as well as increases user adoption with a consistent user experience. Depending on your needs, each of these solutions are available. Today, we want to talk about all-in-one solutions simplifying your organization’s deployment.
• #5: When looking for all-in-one video solutions, organizations have many considerations: They need video collaboration to be reliable, easy to use, integrate into their current platform, straightforward ordering process, cost-effective, simple to maintain, high quality at low bandwidth and easy to install without the need for construction. Additional points for each requirement Reliable– increased quality of video makes it feel like people are in the same room, not thousands of miles apart Easy to use – systems must be simple to use or user adoption will drop. Platform Integration – organizations can’t change their infrastructure quickly so video must be able to work in any environment Straightforward ordering – everything must be included for easy deployment and the ordering process must be simple Cost effective– with decreasing budgets, organizations seek a low total cost of ownership solution Simple maintenance – if the system malfunctions, they need to be able to service it in the field instead of sending the entire system in for repair to minimize downtime Low bandwidth requirements – organizations need low bandwidth from video in order to maintain their network status Easy installation – organizations do not want to spend money on construction or remediating current rooms. The solution must be very simple to install as not all locations may have the technical knowledge to support
