Biamp Systems announces white paper examining role of huddle rooms in corporate environment
The paper explores how organisations can expand the desktop into a conferencing space by pairing high-quality audio and video with traditional desktop services to enable state-of-the-art collaboration in huddle rooms — spaces for up to five people, connecting with their remote colleagues and working together on various projects.
After phasing out traditional high-end AV conference rooms and individual office spaces for a more open-office design, many companies have discovered this open concept does not lend itself well to small-group collaboration. At the same time, bandwidth has increased and the cost of software applications and services has decreased significantly, resulting in more employees using desktop applications for day-to-day collaboration with coworkers. To capitalise on employees’ familiarity with desktop applications and to promote small group collaboration, companies are turning to huddle rooms where employees can use high-quality audio and video equipment via familiar software, but tucked into smaller spaces throughout an organisation’s facility.
“In today’s teleconferencing world, it’s apparent that the huddle room is quickly becoming one of the best tools an organisation can employ in order to get the most productive results from teams,” says Paul Waadevig, unified communications product manager at Biamp Systems.
