A Global Electronics Manufacturer

A global electronics manufacturer with a major North American headquarters needed a better way to manage its AV projects, seeking more control, speed, and simplicity than their current integrator could provide. They sought a proven AV partner who could deliver a complete conference room installation in just one week, a promise their team was initially skeptical of.

The Challenge

As a newly hired Sr. IT Manager observed the facilities team’s struggles with a local integrator, the company faced critical challenges:

  • Slow Deployments: The previous vendor monopolized a single room for “weeks on end,” causing significant project delays and frustration.
  • Lack of IT Control: The existing process did not allow the IT team to have sufficient control over the timeline and execution of AV projects.
  • Inflexible Solutions: The company needed a partner who could adapt to unique physical spaces, like a curved conference room , and accommodate last-minute changes to room functionality.

The IT Manager’s goal was clear: find a partner who could deliver on promises of speed, simplicity, and reliability.

The Solution

RoomReady delivered a customized solution focused on demonstrating speed, flexibility, and long-term value:

  1. Rapid, Flexible Installations: RoomReady successfully delivered the primary conference room installation in just one week as promised, even while adapting the setup on-site to fit the room’s curved shape. They also responded to a last-minute change for another room, quickly adjusting its audio to allow for Q&A functionality before the next scheduled panel.
  2. Multi-Platform Video Conferencing: The team enabled the company to expand beyond its traditional use of Skype by installing Webex video conferencing solutions with Cisco endpoints. They also created a clear path to enable Bring Your Own Meeting (BYOM) capabilities for Microsoft Teams and Zoom.
  3. Integration with Existing Systems: To enhance a large training room, RoomReady adapted a standard solution to integrate with the building’s existing Cisco phone system, microphones, and ceiling speakers.
  4. Superior Ongoing Support: RoomReady provides a highly responsive support experience, with an average response time of less than an hour and a 98.3% resolution satisfaction score, leading to a four-year renewal of their support agreement.
The Results
RoomReady’s fast and efficient approach produced exceptional outcomes:

  • Increased IT Control: The new partnership gave the IT team the control over AV projects they had been lacking with previous integrators.
  • Proven Speed and Flexibility: RoomReady successfully delivered a complex installation in just one week and adapted to last-minute project changes seamlessly, proving their agility.
  • Executive Confidence and Expansion: The high quality of RoomReady’s work caught the eye of executives, leading to additional projects and even prompting an out-of-cycle budget request to upgrade another facility.

This success led to RoomReady solutions being deployed in multiple locations across the company’s North American offices, including a training room in Oregon and a divisible space in New York.

Key Metrics

  • Multi-Platform Interoperability: Fully interoperable rooms for Zoom, Webex, and Microsoft Teams.
  • Rapid Support Response: A team that responds to support requests, on average, within an hour.
