Introducing our Video Conferencing Solutions

Video conferencing systems and collaboration solutions have taken on a new significance in recent times. The shift to hybrid working has acted as a catalyst for a greater adoption of a technology that was already on the rise. Today, organisations must now consider how their meeting room solutions and collaboration platforms can be deployed to meet the needs of a hybrid workforce. Whether you are in the office or working remotely, secure solutions that eliminate technology frustrations, offer interoperability between conferencing platforms, provide intuitive collaboration tools and most importantly, deliver high quality audio and video are vital in keeping your teams connected and productive .

Defining your video conferencing strategy can be a daunting prospect. There are so many considerations. In addition to industry-specific or even regulatory requirements, careful planning is crucial in balancing the needs of employees in the office and those working remotely. Furthermore, you need to consider how to connect with external stakeholders. If they are not using the same platform, how can you guarantee a seamless video experience without being hindered by technology frustrations. To ensure your video conferencing strategy is clearly defined, you need a trusted partner with the expertise to help you consolidate your vision, taking into account your requirements now and how these will evolve in the future.

Cinos partner with leading manufacturers across the video conferencing space to ensure whatever your requirement, we can identify a solution for your organisation. Whether you are looking at Cisco Webex, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, or taking an agnostic approach we can help you identify the right platform for your organisation now, and in the future.

When you have decided on your platform, getting the right mix of hardware is crucial for productive video meetings, and Cinos are perfectly placed to help. We partner with leading hardware providers including Cisco, Crestron, Poly, Yealink, and Logitech to ensure whatever your requirement, from the desk to the boardroom, we have you covered. Our specialist integration services ensure your meeting spaces will deliver high quality audio and video coverage, offering an inclusive experience for all users, whether they are in the room or joining remotely.

Webex Meetings

Millions of people use Microsoft Teams every day. It is the hub of collaboration within the Microsoft suite that integrates people, content, and the tools teams need to be more engaged and effective. Bringing this experience into the meeting room has been one of the most sought-after requirements of organisations around the world. Historically, AV integrators have been able to create premium meeting room experiences but the ability to scale has always been costly.

Working with certified manufacturers, Microsoft have brought the native Teams experience we all know from our devices, into the meeting room. Organisations can now transform any space into a MS Teams video collaboration hub, offering participants a first-class user experience including one click to join, screen sharing and high definition audio and video, all controlled from an interface that is familiar to participants. If you are looking at Microsoft Teams Rooms for your organisation please get in touch, Cinos have delivered these solutions for organisations of all sizes including installing over 120 Yealink Microsoft Teams Rooms for a Leading Utility Provider.

Zoom Rooms

Originally, Zoom primarily existed as a platform on personal devices such as phones, tablets, and laptops. While AV integrators could replicate this experience in the meeting room, the process of expanding such capabilities always incurred substantial costs. However, in response to the changing needs of the modern workforce, the demand for a seamless, native meeting room experience at a larger scale grew significantly.

Today, by forging strategic partnerships with leading manufacturers including Crestron, Poly, and Yealink, Zoom have brought their native video conferencing experience into the meeting room. Organisations can now enjoy that familiar experience in any space they operate without having to worry about custom systems or scalability issues.

Cinos are officially recognised as Zoom Certified Integrator and has successfully implemented Zoom Rooms for a diverse array of organisations including installing Poly-based Zoom Rooms for a Global Investment Company and replicating Roku’s Zoom Rooms setup in their UK office, underpinned by Cisco technology.

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) solutions are a viable option for meeting spaces when you need to connect with partners or customers who are not using your chosen platform. They enable your users to control the meeting from their own device and connect to the meeting room systems (cameras, microphones, and speakers) to enjoy an immersive meeting room experience whilst collaborating on the platform of choice.

Cinos partner with leading BYOD manufacturers including Barco and Mersive to ensure you have the choice you need when evaluating your video conferencing options. It was certainly the case when Ewen Hunter, IT Manager at The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo contacted Cinos requiring “an updated system that would integrate with the technologies that we use as a business but also something that was flexible enough to work with other solutions for video conferencing technologies, if needed.” If you think BYOD is the right fit for your requirements, please get in touch.
