There’s nothing quite like a crisis to reorder our lives. For everyone, the Covid pandemic was the perfect storm. It wasn’t just a health crisis. It upended everything – including when, how and where we worked.
Crises have consequences. Today the remote and hybrid work model is the new normal. Whereas pre-Covid, it was a farfetched notion that millions of workers would opt – demand actually – to work from home. The pandemic did indeed change everything.
But it was only possible with powerful collaboration and meeting platforms. Companies with market-proven unified communications platforms were suddenly thrust into a crucible of surging demands for their solutions.
And The Winner Is… Microsoft Teams
Success is where luck and preparation meet. And for companies like Microsoft with unified communications tools, it couldn’t have been better because the Covid crisis was a boon beyond their wildest expectations.
Today, more than 270 million people use Microsoft Teams monthly. That’s no small feat. Leave it to Microsoft. It doesn’t squander a crisis.
Bounce Back from the Pandemic. Can We Talk; Here; Now?
Once upon a time, meetings and presentations were held in large boardrooms and corporate meeting rooms. No more.
Welcome to the post-Covid era. Remote conversations are more spontaneous, more agile and more flexible. In the spark of a moment, attendees join a meeting from all over the world.
Welcome to The Room
Gone are the days when companies spent significant IT budgets on meeting room hardware. Room systems today provide a simpler, more efficient alternative.
Room Systems offer comprehensive tools to enhance existing collaboration software and meeting tools. For instance, a Microsoft Teams Room system provides everything to launch a presentation in seconds and turn any space into a conferencing hub.
