Barco, a global firm in professional meeting room visualisation and collaboration technology, has announced a tie-up with leading engineering communications and sound solutions, Jabra, in the Asia Pacific region. The two audiovisual powerhouses have joined forces to promote the easy adoption of simple, one-click wireless conferencing for organisations as they embrace hybrid working to create more intuitive meeting experiences in-person and remotely.
Barco’s ClickShare Conference and Jabra video collaboration solutions are fully agnostic, mix-and-match conference functionalities for meeting room spaces of all sizes and can work seamlessly with everything, everywhere. It is as simple as selecting a device, choosing a videoconferencing platform and display of choice, and clicking to conference. With few easy steps, everyone in the meeting – whether remote or physically present – is seen and heard. With quick, easy, and frictionless functions, IT managers can quickly prepare hybrid meeting spaces for returning employees.
As employees have become more accustomed to working from home, they have developed a preference for Bring Your Own Meeting (BYOM) models (70 per cent) according to a recent ClickShare survey. The survey also indicated that many office workers struggled with hosting meetings from the office, with 48 percent finding it difficult to connect to meeting rooms. Another 65 percent struggled with figuring out different setups when moving between meeting spaces. With the average worker spending 0.5 more days in the office in 2021 than they did in 2020, organisations must be prepared to accommodate meeting and videoconferencing needs of their onsite workforce.
As organisations embrace hybrid ways of working, connecting in-room and remote participants in meetings is still far from an engaging experience. With video calls becoming a necessity nowadays, businesses need to invest in flexible, straightforward video meeting ecosystems to enable seamless collaboration to grow their productivity. The survey further states that 42 per cent of respondents felt that their employer did not prioritise critical investments in videoconferencing tools. Barco’s ClickShare Conference and Jabra video collaboration solutions enable organisations to have better hybrid meetings with superior audio and video features.
“As a leader in wireless presentation and conferencing, Barco’s partnership with Jabra ensures that we provide the best value in product offerings and affordability to help organisations reap the benefits of excellent hybrid meeting experiences,” said Marc Remond, Vice President, Meeting and Learning Experiences, Barco APAC.
“Office workers expect their employer to invest in superior video conferencing solutions, while business leaders trust their in-office and remote workers to stay engaged and productive. We find that we are addressing a critical need in the changing workplace with the Jabra and ClickShare solution,” added Remond.
