In this global economy, the people you deal with are more dispersed than ever. Yet at the same time 75% of business executives consider in-person collaboration an imperative. A recent survey validates experiences that we’ve all encountered first-hand. How many times have you experienced communications that were misinterpreted or failed to engage participants effectively, negatively impacting relationships, projects, and business outcomes? As the pace of business gets faster and more complex, how do you: get everyone on the same page; scale resources to be in more places at once; and maintain face-to-face relationships with widely dispersed colleagues, customers, agencies, partners and advisors?
Visual collaboration is the next stage for many businesses as they put in place collaboration strategies to drive even higher levels of productivity for their business. However, for some organizations the up-front costs — to deploy the technology, train or acquire the right IT skill set, and provide the needed consistent level of inter-connectivity — can be barriers preventing them from accelerating business impact through video.
Customers now have more choice in how they consume visual collaboration. With our Video Solutions with Microsoft Teams, and Zoom platforms Technology can be purchased -as-a-Service (TaaS).
With this Technology-as-a-Service offering, there are even more flexible options for the deployment of video communications the acceleration of a business impact through video is even bigger. With Teams and Zoom delivered from the cloud, organizations experience a predictable OpEx model, simplify operations (including interoperability with legacy video solutions), reduce risk of technology obsolescence, free IT resources to focus on core and strategic initiatives, and gain capabilities to scale based on business demand.
Expanded TaaS service options help users:
Meet any time with an in-person experience. Meeting options provide a personal conference space which can be used to meet securely with your colleagues, customers and partners — direct calling and outlook scheduling options.
Work the way they want/need to work. With cloud-based O365, it is simpler and quicker for businesses to scale video and collaboration to those specific people who can create the greatest impact using video. Companies simply provide or lease the video systems needed to meet users’ varying needs — from in-room solutions to desktop to employees’ personal mobile devices. The CN Technology Group Team handles the rest.
Customize and control their meeting environment. Meeting management options enable real-time meeting controls to help users create the appropriate collaboration level for the topic and attendee profile. For example, hosts can quickly and easily manage participant add or drops, creating messages, changing the layout, muting background conversations, securing meeting access, extending a scheduled meeting or capturing a collaboration content.
