Software
Which software is suitable for my video conference?
When choosing the right software for your video conferencing, various criteria should be taken into account. Do you need the tool primarily for communicating with employees who work remotely? Or do you also want to hold customer meetings via it? How many participants will attend the virtual conferences on average? These are questions you should ask yourself in advance.
The most important points you should consider when choosing the functional scope of your video conferencing software are:
- Is SD enough for you or do you need HD quality?
- How many participants do you expect in the worst case scenario?
- Do you require functions for sharing the screen? If so, to what extent?
- Should the meeting participants be able to work together in small teams on tasks and documents?
- How important is data encryption to you? Is sensitive content communicated?
- How much are you willing to spend? Which contract types come into question?
There is a large selection of different video conferencing software on the market. We will work with you to determine which product best meets your requirements.
MS Teams and Zoom: Our favorites in the field of video conferencing software
In the field of video conferencing software, we mainly work with MS Teams and Zoom. It is not for nothing that the two providers are considered market leaders in the field of video conferencing solutions. They impress with a whole range of useful functions at an absolutely reasonable price.
In the following, we would like to introduce the two applications to you in more detail:
MS Teams
Microsoft Teams offers everything you need for virtual teamwork: Group chats, surveys, shared file storage and a direct connection to all Office applications, i.e. much more than just a pure video call function. Before starting a video conference, various settings can be made and checked, for example whether the camera and microphone are activated. The participants can easily share their screen. The entire meeting can also be recorded. If you want to plan a meeting in advance, you can send a suitable appointment to selected people via Outlook, who then confirm their attendance with a single click.
Zoom
An alternative to MS Teams that is becoming increasingly popular is Zoom. Similar to Microsoft's software, Zoom is also perfectly tailored to the needs of companies. Zoom also offers various functions that create optimal conditions for all-round successful video conferences, including chat and file functions, virtual backgrounds and recording options. We recommend taking a look at the integrated whiteboard. Here, participants can create mind maps, shared notes and much more. Zoom can be easily connected to other tools such as Microsoft Office, Gmail or Slack and even enables large video conferences with up to 1,000 participants.
We work closely with you to decide which video conferencing software best suits your needs. If you are not happy with MS Teams or Zoom, we will of course also support you in setting up other software solutions. We work solution-oriented and manufacturer-independent and will be happy to advise you on the various options.
Crestron Fusion: The intelligent room planning software
Large companies in particular often have various conference and seminar rooms available. If you want to go to one of these rooms to have some peace and quiet during a video call, it is not uncommon to find that all the rooms are already occupied! Avoid such unpleasant situations and take precautions in good time by relying on room scheduling software. This allows you to centrally manage and book conference rooms.
Crestron Fusion is one such room scheduling software. Crestron integrates autonomous systems and technologies into a complete system. Room planning can be integrated into all common calendar programs. This means that rooms can be booked conveniently and easily directly via the software. If a room is no longer available, this is displayed on planning boards or room signs. And if someone does not show up on time, the room is automatically added back to the inventory and can be rebooked.
Crestron Fusion is available either as a local installation or as a cloud application. We will be happy to assist you with installation and setup as well as integration into your room booking system.
Software for your digital signage applications
Digital signage applications are the future. These offer the advantage of displaying digital media content dynamically via a wide range of technologies, e.g. touchpads, displays or multiscreens. The result is brand content that is presented to consumers in a particularly innovative and appealing way.
When it comes to digital signage software, we rely entirely on the manufacturer easescreen. easescreen creates extraordinary installations with a manageable amount of effort and ease of use. Content to be played can be checked in real time and screenshots can be created. SSL encryption also enables secure data transmission at all times.
smartPerform goes even further: smartPerform has developed unique software that combines touchscreen function with a collaboration tool and digital signage solutions. With smartPerform, you not only address potential customers in a particularly clever way using the latest technologies to draw their attention to your brands, products and services. You can also use the software for creative and networked working, for example on meeting displays, consultant tablets and multi-touch tables, which can be combined with smartPerform to create a holistic working and experience environment. With its particular flexibility, smartPerform is ideally suited to the multiple requirements of companies. We will be happy to advise you on this.
