Spin Master Headquarters
a leading global children's entertainment company, recently acquired Melissa and Doug, a renowned toy manufacturer. This acquisition required a comprehensive IT and technology migration to integrate Melissa and Doug's operations with Spin Master's existing infrastructure.
A significant part of this migration involved refreshing the meeting room technology across 16 newly acquired spaces, ranging from small huddle rooms to a large executive boardroom.
