Singapore, 07 July 2021 – Barco, a leader in professional meeting room visualization and collaboration technology, 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 organizations 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%) 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, organizations must be prepared to accommodate meeting and videoconferencing needs of their onsite workforce.
As organizations 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 percent of respondents felt that their employer did not prioritize critical investments in videoconferencing tools. Barco’s ClickShare Conference and Jabra video collaboration solutions enable organizations to have better hybrid meetings with superior audio and video features.
Addressing today’s meeting challenges with Barco and Jabra solutions
To navigate a hybrid workforce investing in a seamless video conferencing experience has become more important than ever. The joint conferencing solution helps to address the core challenges faced by today’s IT managers, business leaders and everyday users.
Barco and Jabra are introducing a solution bundle for the Asia Pacific market to enable easy adoption of the integrated solution.
