For the first time in more than 30 years, conferencing specialist, Konftel, is selling more video solutions than audio in the UK and beyond. State-of-the-art kits like the C20Ego and all-in-one CC200 from Konftel are transforming the way people work. This represents a perfect fit for the dispersed trends of the workplace.
Jeff May, the UK Sales Director, says that video solutions now account for around 65% of demand, overtaking audio sales by a significant margin. However, Jeff also pointed out that audio is still a popular solution, particularly when companies are forming a powerful room environment for their teams. Companies need a strong combination of audio and video.
A Massive Shift to Video
Over the last six months, there’s been a rapid shift from standalone audio investment to video. These trends were growing long before the COVID crisis emerged too. The evolution is moving beyond using laptops for Zoom and Teams. Companies need more immersive technology experiences. Konftel is opening the door to advanced Bring Your Own Meeting options to people who demand a genuinely professional, high-quality experience.
Konftel provides full flexibility in the video landscape, with a wide range of collaboration and video cloud services to choose from. These days, the company is seeing a significant shift in the landscape, with around 8 out of 10 website inquiries moving to video. Everyone should be considering their own strategy for video, and Konftel helps with that.
Jeff noted that demand for USB solutions is incredibly high right now, probably caused in part by the rapid panic buying at the beginning of the COVID-19 lockdown. Now, more considered sales are on the rise, with lots of reseller opportunities emerging as people return to the office while working from home too.
Exploring the Benefits of Video
Konftel believes that the video landscape has a lot of potential, unlocking larger and more lucrative reseller projects with hundreds of units for huddle rooms, remote workers, and large meeting areas too. Health authorities have invested heavily in video tools for internal meetings and triage, with educational groups also embracing video at a massive scale.
