Get started with video collaboration

As you explore options for video collaboration, consider these important variables for your workspaces:

• Understand the range of different work environments you have, and their requirements. For example, cubicles, home offices, open workspaces, executive offices, training rooms, etc., all have different functions and noise challenges.
• Find solutions that are designed to overcome the unique challenges of each workspace and deliver a superior collaboration experience.
• Explore how people work in each space and make sure that the video collaboration solution seamlessly integrates into your business processes and natural workflow.

Here's how to select the best video experience that drives business forward:

• Make sure the solution is easy for everyone to use, so time and money aren't wasted on training.
• Shift people's focus to the meeting—and away from the technology—by finding solutions that adapt to your workspace.
• An effective video solution should provide the ability to help you easily share content from any device—including personal computers, mobile devices, document cameras, the Web and even cloud storage.
• It must be flexible enough for users to connect with HDMI/VGA cables—or even wirelessly when the application demands.

Unleash the full value of collaboration by choosing a solution that works well with your unique business processes and existing collaboration tools.

• Look for a solution that is standards-based and designed to adapt to your changing business environment.
• Select a solution that can fully integrate into your existing UC collaboration tools, like Microsoft Lync/Skype for Business.
• Confirm the total cost of the video collaboration solution, including what steps are necessary to integrate it with your other systems.
• Find a reputable vendor in the industry, known for quality, customer service, technological leadership, and excellence in delivering open, standards-based solutions that interoperate with leading UC platforms.
