BroadSoft Announces One-Click Video Conference Room Experience
December 06 2016 - 2:00AM
Conference Room app allows businesses to easily and affordably add
multi-point physical conference rooms to any virtual conference
GAITHERSBURG, Md., 2016-12-06 08:00 CET (GLOBE
NEWSWIRE) -- 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."
