It’s been more than two years since the pandemic disrupted how organizations of every size work and stay connected. Most companies adopted new hybrid collaboration tools to make working from anywhere easier, but we all continue our effort to simplify communication and collaboration. For example, maybe your organization is:
If you’re struggling with any of these areas, we can help through our Microsoft consultancy, Magenium.
AVI added Magenium Solutions to our company portfolio in 2018. They’re a Gold-certified Microsoft Consulting partner with 12 Gold competencies, putting them in the top 1% of all Microsoft partners worldwide. The decision to acquire Magenium was an easy one because:
Magenium doubled in size in just two years (2020-2022), and our AVI and Microsoft Consultancy engineers deployed more than 16,000 Teams rooms in this same period. In addition, Magenium helps clients with:
As our Microsoft Consultancy team works with companies across industries, they hear some consistent themes and pain points from customers.
In the world of unified collaboration and video conferencing tools, there are two essential parts to the equation: AV technology and hardware. Not every AV solutions provider has expertise in both. With our Microsoft Consultancy in place, AVI has both sides covered. Our teams lead with technology and the AV hardware compliments the solution. This allows us to collaborate on how to design and solve the best Teams solution for every customer.
Some companies return to the office only to realize they don’t have the necessary collaboration tools they grew accustomed to while remote. So, they need to identify the spaces that need to be video-enabled – and what those spaces should look like.
These decisions go beyond adding a new video display to a conference room. In today’s hybrid workplace, it’s essential to give employees a reason to come to the office. This means providing the right tools and technology that fits the space and is also easy and fun to use. Only then can collaborative work take flight.
As companies re-examine their use of space, we’ve also noticed a trend of shifting the focus outside conference rooms to other workspaces. For example, if you have a cafeteria, an open atrium, or a large gathering place, adding video capabilities to these spaces provides employees with new tools and environments to use to connect, communicate and collaborate with each other.
When users click to join a video conference, they want it to work efficiently from any device – whether that’s a personal mobile device, a work computer, or a tablet. Our Microsoft Consultancy can deliver a low-friction, device-agnostic user experience with video communication sitting squarely at the center of every engagement.
Not every company has an IT team large enough to stack the implementation and management of unified collaboration tools on top of their workload. So, while some companies want to manage their meeting / collaborative spaces internally, others prefer to let AVI and Magenium proactively manage and monitor them. Our Microsoft Consultancy service includes this option for the ongoing support of all things related to Teams.
Do you need to enable your office and remote workers to collaborate better regardless of where they are? AVI Systems and our Microsoft Consultancy help organizations harness the latest innovations to improve communication, grow their business, boost productivity, stay competitive, and reduce costs.
