Integrating Video Collaboration Into Your Everyday Business for Success

There are more online meetings than ever before. The average employee meets 8 times per week. For executives in high-tech industries that number shoots up to 17 online meetings a week. A collaborative, connected workforce is fueling rapid growth in virtual meetings. More than one-third of all meetings are now virtual meetings. Participants can attend from remote offices, the road, or anywhere with a phone line.

That´s why today’s mobile workforce highly depends on technology to stay connected. A device with the right technical amplification can stretch the physical boundaries of the office and act as a virtual meeting room. Throw in modern office solutions such as Microsoft 365 and you increase the demand for compatible video conferencing solutions as part of your overall Unified Communications (UC) strategy.

All the conferencing hardware and software is built-in to a computer or laptop.

Multiple screens or monitors are used to make everyone feel like they're joining the meeting in-person.

The video conferencing technology is built-in to the room itself (e.g. Huddle Room).

With Microsoft Teams as part of Microsoft 365, easily start video calls directly from various applications (e.g. Microsoft Outlook). Microsoft and other partners offer a special conferencing solution that has been tested and certified for Microsoft Teams. Microsoft’s Modern Workplace is user-friendly and ensures an engaging, high-quality user experience, releasing the full potential of your team and significantly improving collaboration at a reduced cost.

The workplace has changed on a foundational level. Today’s modern team doesn’t need to be located in the same rbuilding to be productive. The age of the hybrid, flexible, and remote worker has finally arrived. In this new landscape, companies are downsizing their physical real-estate, reworking their employment strategy, and making significant changes to the way teams will connect in the years to come. The meeting room is one of the most significant environments facing a massive change in the age of hybrid work. Now that around 74% of the workforce wants to continue working from home for at least 2 days per week, the hybrid workforce appears to be the design of the future.

No question about it, video conferencing that is simply serviceable or rigid and unevolving is no longer a viable option to support modern, hybrid work. Building a thriving Human Enterprise in the coming years hinges on video communication — ultimately finding a better way to support the humans behind modern work.
