The benefits of ClickShare: Getting the most from your investment

When you’re the one with the final say on new investments for the company you, understandably, want and need that investment to pay off. With so many people making requests - from end users asking for new meeting room equipment to the IT department proposing a new range of software - it’s often difficult to say no to some requests and yes to others. As manager, you're never a 100% sure which will benefit the company as a whole.

Discover ClickShare

ClickShare is the kind of room system where everyone from IT managers, everyday users, guests to members of the board can instantly benefit. Spending money on any technology has its risks, but with ClickShare your ROI is ensured. With automated smart meeting flows users do not waste time trying to set up and run meetings. They are engaged and efficient, making the investment a win-win for all. When displays are not used for conferencing or presenting, they can be used for digital signage to impress and inform.

Our range of innovative wireless solutions, which include wireless conferencing and presentation systems revolutionize the way teams and employees meet and collaborate. Here’s how.

Embracing new methodologies

The ways in which people work are evolving. Seemingly overnight we moved from primarily face-to-face interaction and working 9 to 5 to home working and remote collaboration. But the initial excitement has ebbed away. There’s clearly growing fatigue in an exclusively work from home approach and businesses are trying to find a new balance between the home office and the workplace. Remote working and flexible working hours are more prominent as employers and companies take a more considered approach to personal lives. New ways of hybrid collaborating and hybrid meeting are required to suit changing working patterns, and hours.

When new people come into a company with fresh ideas and methods, they have the potential to help shape the future of the business and where it’s going. Investing in seamless technologies, combined with flexible and hybrid working and even BYOD, means the millennials and talent you’re recruiting have the potential to really flourish.

Attracting millennials and new talent to the business

New technologies help companies attract the best talent, that's been proven. Recent ClickShare research pointed out that video conferencing technology is the number 1 investment priority for employees worldwide, 77% believe all meeting rooms should be equipped for videocalls (Outlook for the post-covid workplace, 2021). Attending an interview in a meeting room equipped with the latest technologies and systems helps to portray your company as a forward-thinking, innovative business. By offering new systems and modern ways of working, a Digital Workplace Manager helps to gear up for the future.

Changing meeting methods and habits

Working from home or any remote location helped contribute to a rise in BYOD – Bring Your Own Device – with users able to work on their own devices rather than standardized equipment brought in by the IT department. The growth in BYOD has then opened the door for BYOM – Bring Your Own Meeting – where users host a meeting on their chosen devices and preferred location.

If you want to cater the BYOD and BYOM needs of your employees, you'll need to find those tools that match the requirements of your IT department and at the same time address the needs for intuitive solutions that users require. ClickShare has been developed with both in mind.

Connecting to the central ClickShare Base Unit through the company’s Wi-Fi network with a Button or App, a ClickShare wireless presentation system enables up to eight users to connect, share their screens and even annotate what is displayed on the meeting room screen depending on their chosen ClickShare system. It's the perfect add-on for your fixed conference room, but can also be used as a stand-alone.

Everyone actually feels a key part of the collaboration process. Users contribute more to the meeting bringing about better or more creative ideas, which in the end boosts productivity and efficiency of your business too.

If presenting isn’t the most suitable approach for a meeting, or you can’t get everyone in one room at the same time, ClickShare wireless conferencing systems make it possible for people to come together via a hybrid meeting instead. Busy schedules, hectic personal lives, lockdown measures or economical or ecological decisions,no matter the reason, it's a fact that people don't travel so much for meetings anymore and that important discussions get postponed, but a remote or hybrid meeting ensures that negotiations and constructive discussions can still take place through our intuitive wireless conferencing room system.

Connecting to your existing meeting room solutions and collaborating on content via the ClickShare Button or Desktop App, teams can get down to business without the need for additional investments in any cables, headsets or AV-equipment. ClickShare Conference works with a wide range of solutions, in any meeting room setup.

As businesses take their next strides forward digital strategies and innovations are becoming increasingly important. Modern marketing has already changed and now workplace practices are evolving to ensure that strategies and processes are futureproof.

Also, designers might be required to transform unused office space into new huddle or meeting rooms and the data provided from the ClickShare systems installed to help facilitate these productive discussions. Our solutions are built to adapt to changes in workplace technologies.
