The quality of the conference room technology is critical to the success of meetings. When people feel unable to communicate with one another during meetings due a technical issue, the team experience is diminished and productivity suffers. A bad experience at a meeting can cause a decrease in morale of office and remote employees. The good news is, the implementation of boardroom technology can help organizations reduce stress and cost through improved productivity and remote collaboration.
The type of meeting and the environment where it will be held will determine the best technology to be used in your conference room. There are solutions for every venue that range from small huddle spaces to large conference rooms and executive boards. You’ll need a solution that can be scalable, cost-effective and easy to use.
Participants can collaborate more easily with flat panel interactive devices, like digital whiteboards in comparison to traditional methods. They provide a wider screen for more immersive presentations and can be equipped with touch screens or mice to allow hands-free access. Some of them also have HD cameras that eliminate the fish-eye effect and provide remote users with the most natural view of the speaker.
Video conferencing is becoming increasingly popular in meeting rooms. New high-definition video cameras and audio systems can provide more realistic engaging video calls. Meeting participants feel more connected. Many video conferencing software tools include document sharing features that eliminate the need to send emails back and between attendees, allowing them to collaborate and produce documents in real-time.
