BroadSoft Announces One-Click Video Conference Room Experience
December 06 2016 - 2:00AM
BroadSoft, Inc. (NASDAQ:BSFT), a global unified communication
software as a service (UCaaS) leader, today announced the
commercial availability of BroadSoft UC-One
®
Conference Room – a one-click conference room system experience
that enables businesses to easily and affordably connect existing
conference rooms to any UC-One virtual conference.
Today’s conference room system experience is not only
cost-prohibitive for most businesses, but complex to install and
use. Meeting organizers and participants navigate TVs and video
cameras that don’t work together properly, requiring different
remote controls for each individual component. These legacy systems
make it difficult to add remote participants or share content. It
is no wonder that 47%1 of employees view meetings as the number one
time-waster at the office.
“The conference room experience has always been a challenge for
traditional UC," said Stan Chizhevskiy, Technical Director of
Access4. "We've found BroadSoft UC-One Conference Room a perfect
fit for this problematic use case giving us an excellent
integrated, easy-to-use and deploy product for conference room
users that need both HD audio/video, as well as instantly available
to collaborate between conference rooms, desktop UC users and
external guests."
UC-One Conference Room works with any standard LCD screen, in
any conference room, and includes Logitech GROUP, a ConferenceCam
featuring wideband audio and HD video. As a result, UC-One
Conference Room makes it easy and affordable to add video to every
room at a price point that is approximately 1/10 the cost of
comparably equipped telepresence systems.
“Logitech is delighted to partner with BroadSoft to overcome one
of the biggest challenges with video conferencing in the meeting
room, which is the ease of joining a call,” said Scott Wharton,
vice president and general manager for Logitech Video
Collaboration. “With Logitech ConferenceCams, BroadSoft UC-One
solves this challenge by providing one-click join, high quality
audio, video and content-sharing, and more, all at a highly
affordable price.”
UC-One Conference Room delivers several features and benefits
that dramatically improve the conference room system
experience:
- One-click join – One-click meetings can be
initiated from UC-One Conference room. All meetings are hosted in
My Room, the BroadSoft virtual meeting space that brings together
voice and video conferencing, multi-party chat and desktop
sharing.
- Easy scheduling – From their office calendar,
users can select any available conference room system to schedule
their video conference. Once scheduled, users just need to
walk into their conference room, click one button and start the
video conference. Users will always know which video
conference rooms are available.
- Content sharing with HD video – Meetings are
intended to increase productivity, not reduce it. Content
sharing functions allows anyone to start a collaboration session
and review spreadsheets, presentations or any other document type;
while wideband audio codecs capture every verbal nuance, and HD
video relays crisp visual details.
- Reduces complexity – By enabling business
users to manage their room video conferences from within the
intuitive, desktop experience they use every day, UC-One Conference
Room can reduce the cost and complexity of multi-point video
conferencing. Desktop and room video users can start conferences
with just a click, and it’s easy to add remote participants,
joining via desktop and mobile devices.
“Most employees attend a whopping 62 meetings every month2, time
that is often highly unproductive because of technology hiccups and
a poor experience for those attending in-person and virtually,”
said Scott Hoffpauir, chief technology officer, BroadSoft. “Now
conferences can be started with the click of a button from our
UC-One desktop and mobile apps, and service providers are now
positioned to offer businesses of all sizes a multi-point solution
that can be affordably and easily added to any conference room as
needed.”
