Skype for Business set to take over the Conference Room

AV -RL2_HD

Skype for Business has changed the way many collaborate with coworkers, clients and business partners. The professional software offers online meetings that include messaging, calls and video with up to 250 people via telephone or Internet connection, even if they aren’t Skype for business users. And with full Microsoft office suite compatibility, it’s easy to share and collaborate using applications like Word and PowerPoint.

Sounds great right? For smart devices and desktop computers, but what if you could extend that into the conference room?

Now you can…

rl_2_compCrestron RL2 combines the Skype for Business software with the reliable and trusted hardware that can only comefrom Crestron for a complete all-in-one collaboration solution for your conference room.

Imagine the convenience of scheduling meetings with Outlook, no fubbling for phone numbers or having to use a separate program to set up a meeting, in fact, the software automatically links to your conference room scheduler to book the room.

Once you’re ready to attend your meeting, all it takes is a touch of a button to link all invitees instantly. But full integration means more than just setting up a call, you also have complete control of everything in the room, from window shades to room lighting and temperature to all your AV devices, whether you need a specific pre-set or need to make changes on the fly, it’s all just a few taps away from your touch screen.

The compatibility goes beyond just calls, along with video teleconferencing, you could also share and annotate through interactive whiteboards or by sharing documents such as PowerPoint.

And with top security and account management, you can trust your information is safe.
