All-in-One video collaboration solution provider, DTEN, has recently (April 19th) become a certified Microsoft Teams OEM partner.
Following the exciting news, I chatted with Doug Remington, General Manager of EMEA at DTEN, to hear all about the meaning of the certification to the company, whose been prominently known so far for delivering Zoom Rooms-compatible solutions. We spoke about the certification process, the implications, and the added benefits that DTEN brings to the Microsoft ecosystem.
What Does DTEN Bring to MS Teams?
"One of the most exciting things for us in getting MS Teams Rooms certified is being able to bring what customers loved about DTEN in the Zoom ecosystem to the Microsoft Teams world," Remington says. "This simplified, optimised, advanced meeting room and hybrid classroom experience we offer on a global level."
One of the aspects that users are particularly fond of when it comes to DTEN devices is their signature design.
"Our devices look and feel quite different to other solutions in the market," he notes. "We maintain a sleek, modern design, combined with high-quality audio and video, which allows an enhanced meeting experience. These devices are very intuitive to use, meaning even the most non-technical customers feel comfortable using them from the start."
Another significant benefit, especially in the context of MS Teams, is the company's reputation as driving innovation, which is a perfect fit with Microsoft's fast-paced feature releases.
"Microsoft Teams is constantly releasing new features, which means there's a lot of innovation and new functionality coming out, which is an environment DTEN are extremely familiar with," Remington says.
"We're looking forward to joining forces with Microsoft and pushing that innovation within the Teams ecosystem out to the millions of Teams users."
DTEN has a history of pushing the boundaries on touch, camera and microphone technology as a whole, and specifically in the hybrid meeting space.
"Our goal is to create a hybrid meeting experience that is equal to all participants, both in and out of the room, allowing more natural, engaging, and immersive meetings," Remington explains.
Part of DTEN's way to achieve this is utilising advanced technology sitting behind the audio and video of their devices, enabling them to create easier, more effective working experiences.
It's also important to note that while just having been officially certified, DTEN and its devices are no strangers to Microsoft Teams, which means offering Teams support to their customers comes naturally to them.
