With flexibility becoming one of the most sought-after qualities in modern workplaces, all eyes are on Microsoft Teams Rooms, Microsoft's meeting room solution for their popular UC platform. The Teams Rooms solution, having reached 300 million in 2022, is a focal point for organizations seeking to cultivate a cohesive, dynamic, and user-friendly collaboration experience.
Choosing Teams Rooms for your organization is only the first step in taking the collaboration experience to the next level. Next, you need to find a way to drive speedy adoption by employees, which, in turn, should increase ROI on meeting spaces. But how?
In a recent talk with Doug Remington, General Manager of EMEA at DTEN, we delved into three key areas driving the adoption of Microsoft Teams Rooms.
- Content Sharing, Video, and Collaboration in Flexible Spaces
The era of designated meeting rooms with limited, specific functionalities is in the past. At present, the emphasis is on creating spaces that seamlessly cater to diverse needs.
"Whether it's a compact huddle room or a spacious conference area, the goal is for employees to be able to walk into any room and find everything readily available," Remington explains.
We're talking about anything from wireless content sharing and video capabilities via Teams to collaborative tools like annotation and whiteboarding.
"This approach aligns with the demands of flexible workspaces, ensuring that every room is equipped for various scenarios, which in turn optimises the return on investment for meeting spaces," he adds.
- Consistent Experiences
The core principle of Teams as a platform lies in delivering a consistent user interface experience, and it is essential for hardware solutions in meeting rooms to align with that.
"It's important to create a unified interface across huddle rooms, small meeting rooms, and medium-sized conference spaces," Remington notes.
The objective is to eliminate the need for users to acquaint themselves with different hardware setups in various rooms.
