These days, it seems like there is a ‘new normal’ every six months! Regardless of the current situation the future of work is clearly here! This future promises us a new ‘digital revolution’ and is within our grasp: remote and hybrid workforce, flexibility, adaptability, efficiency – all within the digital environment. But before we get to realize these promises, IT organizations, in particular, must suffer through numerous problems: sophisticated technology, complexity, lack of interoperability, and integration headaches. Remote and hybrid meetings are an essential part of our business lives now. There is no going back. Recent US stats indicate that on average 37% of employee time is spent in meetings, with some busy professionals attending over 120 meetings per month. If we can make virtual meetings stick and gain long term value and productivity, there are enormous benefits to be had for any organization. Part of building the future work environment, therefore, is creating a state-of-the-art conference room system with effective audio-visual capability. That doesn’t mean you have to invest in complex and expensive technologies. You must create a space that facilitates effective interaction and collaboration. Collaboration during hybrid and remote meetings must be simple, seamless, and intuitive for both on-site and remote users. Poorly implemented technology is doomed to collect the proverbial dust and sit in the corner without generating a return on capital.
