To wire or not to wire? It’s a simple difference that many people might boil down to the preferences of the user.
Although wires make the plug and go easy to do in one step, the wireless could be argued to be just as easy with a simple connection dialog. However, the difference between the two is ultimately fundamental.
It’s a Monday morning and you’ve just shown up to work. You start up up your laptop, answer some emails, and get some coffee brewed and flowing through you. Finally, it’s time to resume that big project you have due later this week. However, a few minutes in, your co-workers start chatting a few cubicles down. Then another co-worker starts using the printer. You hear the beep of the toaster oven go off. And now you must refocus yourself, to your chagrin.
If you’re new to office technology, you may be confused on what the difference between a video bar and a webcam is. You’ve probably used webcams for years in many different environments, whether using a webcam on a laptop for a work meeting, webchatting with friends or family, or even having fun in Photo Booth on an iMac. But with the constant innovation in audio-video technology, the video bar is a newer concept left unexplained.
So, you want a Poly bar but don’t know where to start? How much does a Poly bar cost? Will it work in my office space?
Whatever it may be, you’ve made a great decision - Poly’s line of video bars in the Studio X series have been nothing short of legendary in the A/V world. Since being introduced in late 2019, it’s not hard to understand why this collection has been a staple of conference room systems in and after the pandemic, but also been a staple in our JUMPSTART ROOMS room bundles.
AV-as-a-service (AVaaS) has gained a lot of notoriety in recent years - and it’s only gaining traction in today’s continuously evolving subscription economy. For a variety of reasons, organizations are opting for the use of and access to the technology and additional equipment they need to operate versus making cash purchases and outright owning it. These solutions offer more flexibility and protection in a constantly changing business climate.
The simple answer to this question is: it depends because conferencing systems vary constantly based on user specifications.
When interacting with prospects and clients, I hear, “Keep this simple for us!” often. This is understandable. Who wants to struggle with a steep learning curve on mission critical equipment when you’re five minutes from a very important meeting?
Those predicting we’d all be back in the office full time by now were probably wrong. Hybrid environments are here to stay, as a new study from HealthEquity, via Forbes, shows employees prefer to work from home at least 3 days a week.
