Crestron, the global leader in commercial AV and meeting room technology, announced it will begin shipping Crestron Mercury, the most complete, easy to use, easy to deploy and manage tabletop meeting and collaboration system, in EMEA from the middle of May. The sleek, all-in-one console is all that’s needed to transform any space into highly effective collaboration space. It combines all the must-have conferencing and collaboration features employees need, along with the fast, secure cloud provisioning and management required by IT managers.
“Mercury addresses all the challenges that arise as more meetings involve remote participants with disparate applications running on personal devices, rather than in local, dedicated rooms with installed hardware. It provides everything needed for conference calls, BYOD presentations, and web collaboration in a single console, while making it easy, secure, and cost effective for businesses to deploy and manage the technology across an enterprise.” – Ted Colton, VP of UC Strategy at Crestron
