Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a Videoconferencing and Digital Signage professional, I deploy multiple solutions for small, medium, and executive meeting rooms from multiple vendors. Since the pandemic and the massive usage of collaborative tools: companies seek efficiency, flexibility, and creativity. Many companies struggle with siloed equipment for every single feature. A dedicated codec for Videoconferencing, a TV with lots of cables for sharing, and a mix of microphones for audio, and for Videoconferencing. The Lifesize Share is an all-in-one solution for a full-featured meeting room. It provides all that every modern meeting room needs. On one project, a customer had a physical whiteboard (and nonworking markers), HDMI, DVI, VGA (and more) cables, a legacy Tandberg equipment. He decided to deploy a Lifesize Share, a solution on top of 20 years of experience and innovation efforts Lifesize put in meeting room conferencing solutions. Now the video meetings are 4K, brainstorming on a whiteboard is easy, and sharing content is intuitive and cable-free and without any intervention of an IT technician. They now are more than ever focus on business matters rather than old technical problems. This truly liberates the productivity and efficiency in meetings.
