A few years ago, video conferencing was still something special. Today, it is standard. Yet it still creates challenges for many organisations.

The world of work has changed. Teams are spread out, no longer concentrated in one place. People work from offices, from home, from anywhere. This only works if communication technology is reliable. When it is flexible and easy to use.

We have spoken to many companies that have exactly these questions: How do we build a video conferencing infrastructure that really works? Which partners should we work with? And what is important anyway?

Choosing the right video conferencing technology

Damovo works with various manufacturers, including HP Poly, to provide video communication systems that meet the requirements of modern companies. HP Poly develops specialised hardware, such as:

• Smart cameras
• Conference kits
• Noise-cancelling headsets
• Corresponding software platforms.

But hardware alone is only half the battle. Integration is crucial. Your systems must fit your existing IT infrastructure, work with other applications and be adaptable to the specific requirements of each company. This is where Damovo’s integration and managed services experience helps.

What can modern video conferencing technology do?

The range of functions has grown significantly in recent years. Automatic camera control that follows the course of the conversation. Systems that create notes from conversation content. Integration with project management tools. Centralised management of devices via specialised platforms. Much of this is now standard, not the exception.

But here’s the important thing: technology is only part of the equation. It is also crucial that your employees enjoy using the systems. This means intuitive operation, reliable functionality and a pleasant user experience. When video conferencing works smoothly and does not cause frustration, it contributes significantly to productivity, and to the satisfaction of your teams.

Which features are relevant for your company depends on your specific requirements and the usage behaviour of your teams.

From small to large installations

We have worked with companies of various sizes. From smaller installations in individual conference rooms to company-wide deployments across multiple countries and hundreds of devices. This experience shows us that there is no one-size-fits-all solution.

Every company has different requirements. Different workflows. Different security policies. Different budgets. That’s why we don’t work with standard solutions, but first listen, understand the situation, and then develop the right solution.

Video conferencing in a larger context

Another important point: video conferencing technology is one area among many within modern IT infrastructure. Damovo also offers solutions in other areas. This means we can look at your entire communication and working environment, not just individual components.

Sometimes the best solution is a combination of different technologies. Sometimes it’s not more technology that’s needed, but better integration of existing systems. We can only see this when we understand the big picture.

What does this mean for you?

If you are currently considering how to set up or renew your video conferencing infrastructure, talk to us. We will answer your questions. We will look at your situation. And we will help you find the solution that is right for your business.

Not the fanciest. Not the most expensive. But the right one.
