Solutions that promote efficient collaboration – a key issue in today’s business world

The unified communications sector made significant forward strides over the course of 2017. Unified communications refers to the integration into a given work environment of communication media such as classic telephony, video conferences, email, voicemail and instant messaging – the goal being to make it easier, in a host of different ways, to communicate with external partners to make collaboration and partnership more efficient, and thus expedite business processes.

And while implementation in this realm – which is being driven by initiatives for digital transformation in numerous modern companies – has done wonders for collaboration between the relevant users, in the wake of years of capital investment for innovation the time has now come when ROI simply must be achieved. This situation is subjecting today’s IT teams to enormous pressure. IT department managers need to ensure that a dependable network infrastructure can be provided that meets the requirements of cloud-based services – and at the same time allows for an exceptional customer experience.

Telecommunication solutions are simply indispensable in today’s business world

Audio and video communication has become an absolutely essential tool in virtually all of today’s companies. Studies have shown that up to 40 percent of all business communication is now realized via videoconferences. The trend that is prompting ever growing numbers of employees to communicate via solutions that are geared to and promote collaboration is set to pick up speed this year, particularly in companies that are building out their implementation of team messaging and telecommunciation solutions.

collaboration solutionsAnother key element in this regard is browser-based and in-app communication. Direct integration of real-time multimedia communication functions enables companies to greatly improve the productivity and interactivity of their customers. Most interactions with customers now take place online, whether in the form of online live chat with partners or employees, or by dint of the ability to exchange ideas with business partners in real time via any device.

ConX Cloud: a sector-wide collaboration solution

Virtual cloud-based conference rooms enable users to communication with anyone they wish to, at any time. Thanks to the interoperability of SIP, H.323 and Skype for business, internal and external partners can now “attend” all types of meetings using virtually any device and a broad range of collaboration solutionsvideoconferencing services. ConX also supports dual-stream video and data feeds – which, being cloud-based, enable customers and users to interact with each other either in real time or in alternation, and to participate, live, in presentations, data sharing and other initiatives.

Videoconferencing technology and telecommunication solutions have undergone a sea change over the past decade or so. Whereas in the early days of this evolution, cloud-based videoconferencing was only available in a handful of very large companies, cloud services such as videotelephony and ConX Cloud have become an indispensable element of today’s work environments.

InFocus breaks the local limitations of digital whiteboards with ConX

As they do each year, InFocus participated at InfoComm in Orlando (USA) this year. InfoComm is the largest pro-AV fair in North America, with over 1,000 exhibitors from 110 countries. It is a must for every visitor who feels “at home” in fields of unified communications and collaboration, digital screens, and video and control systems..

Infocomm2017

This year, InFocus again showed significant efforts and presented its ConX Whiteboard. This is an interactive whiteboard that can be shared by all participants of the ConX Cloud together. The only condition is that a participant must be dialled in from a Mondopad in the ConX space – no matter from where or from what network. Those who have not dialled from a Mondopad can see the Whiteboard, but still cannot interact with it. This function will be the next step in the ConX Whiteboard development.

Working together anywhere in real time – virtually any device at anytime

With ConX Cloud, teams can now work more comfortably and flexibly than ever before. It is ideal for small team meetings, but also for large-scale conferences or company-wide meetings. The ConX Virtual Conference Room solution provides much of what is necessary for networking, collaboration, ideas, and information. An important aspect is that ConX gives participants the freedom and flexibility to actively take part in virtual conferences, regardless of which device or operating system is being used.

The ConX Cloud Virtual Conference Room solution video conference system from InFocus also offers a trouble-free, integrated co-working option with devices and conferencing solutions from other manufacturers. InFocus places great emphasis on compatibility with other systems and high functionality, since the real world is very versatile.

ConX Cloud – Teamwork in real time

ConX Cloud enables reliable video conferencing and high-performance teamwork from virtually any location – in real time. The Cloud not only shows a single-sided presentation of data in a meeting, but also distributes the common work in all directions, so that all participants can see each other and the information at the same time.

In ConX Cloud, the connectivity and communication platforms are essential advantages, because the video conference system is interoperable with SIP, H.323, and Skype for Business. The video conference participants can make presentations, comment, create, edit, share, save, and send information in real time – and all of this can be done via a whole selection of endpoints and services with InFocus and other existing devices. This is a close equivalent to a conference in person.

ConX Whiteboard and Mondopad

ConX Cloud gives users the opportunity to join and connect, from many different end-devices, but Mondopad is one of the most versatile terminals. With it, teams become capable of sharing all kinds of content, even video or audio documents, with all other present and externally connected people. From now on, Mondopad will support the new ConX whiteboard function. Each ConX conference participant who uses Mondopad – no matter from what location he accessed the virtual conference room – can now work on the same whiteboard, like all other ConX participants. This means he can highlight fields, add text or graphical images, change content, or simply use annotations. The Whiteboard content is stored in the Cloud and can then be then comfortably distributed to all participants.

touch display

The Mondpad offers all the features which usually require multiple devices in traditional conference rooms: large touch display, HD video conferencing system, interactive whiteboard, 1080p or 4K screen, audio conference system, and a powerful Windows PC. The ConX whiteboard function allows all team members to work together on the same whiteboard. Make your presentations with an intuitive user interface, add annotations, and save documents to be passed into the network. The overall product package is completed by a high-quality camera and loudspeakers.

Thanks to its affiliation to the ConX Whiteboard, the Mondopad is an outstanding teamwork system that easily and reliably connects people, devices, and information immediately upon start up.
