Smart Office Collaboration Rooms
More efficient communications expedite collaboration and decision making. Oversubscribed knowledge worker needs a higher level of engagement so they stay focused and get more done, in less time. Why be burdened with the complexity of a separate collaboration app with yet another address book and login? Smart Office Collaboration starts instantly and is a logical extension of the user's UC client (use a client or web browser). Each user has their own personal collaboration room with credentials that don't change so if a meeting moves by 30 minutes the meeting invitation doesn't change. Use a full client or invite guests with a web browser, anyone can connect and participate - in the office or from the road. Meet with one person or use Outlook to invite dozens of participants. Once connected, participants can hear and see each other in full HD, use group chat for sidebar discussions and of course, share screens or content. Smart Office tools enable users to connect, collaborate and make decisions so they can move on to the next task.
Powerful Moderator Controls
To be productive collaboration users need to stay focused on the task at hand. Seeing body language and non-verbal cues offers tremendous benefits over a traditional audio-only conference call but that doesn't mean participants can't get distracted. Thankfully, Smart Office gives moderator's powerful tools to manage their Collaboration Room including:
- Mute Audio - per person, all participants (with personal override) and all participants
- Mute Video - per person, all participants (with personal override) and all participants
- Remove participant
- PIN option for restricted access
- Lock conference (to preclude new attendees)
With Smart Office, the moderator has the power to keep their meeting focused and productive.
