After the pandemic, the acceleration of digital technology has shown that classrooms and lecture theatres need no longer be bound by physical walls, and can become a much more flexible environment. The education sector can benefit from the outcomes of using the right technology, to further the relationship between teacher and student even in a digital space.
In years gone by, companies have previously had to choose between high quality audio and video solutions that were typically expensive or complex, or personal webcams that were of a lower quality with the inability to include more than one individual. Even before the pandemic, this situation was quickly changing and now there are a growing abundance of solutions that can deliver a quality meeting experience.
As widely reported, COVID-19 has forced organisations into speeding up their digital transformation projects in order to accommodate the abrupt change in working habits created by the pandemic. It’s clear that the more traditional ways of working have now given way to a rise in video conferencing and a significant shift to a hybrid workplace. While some businesses have been used to this model through flexible working approaches, for many organisations this is a newer concept.
As businesses across the world begin to adapt to a hybrid working environment, it’s key that the right technology and devices are put in place to ensure teams can communicate effectively, regardless of location. Helping to support video meetings that connect people in-office and working remotely, Logitech recently launched a new range of devices, including the Rally Bar and Rally Bar Mini.
The way businesses have worked over the last year or so has without doubt presented unexpected challenges, with so many organizations shifting to a home working environment. For many, this was a monumental change and will have kick-started various new digital transformation projects.
It’s safe to say that the traditional office working environment will never be quite the same as it was before the start of the pandemic. Many office workers have now been working from home for over a year, with some expecting to never return to the office full-time.
Cisco is home to a comprehensive portfolio of collaboration solutions designed to help you achieve effective, productive meeting spaces of all sizes. Keeping teams connected, Cisco Webex brings the meeting experience to life, with Webex Devices, Webex Meetings and Webex Teams. Intelligent video and audio communications are designed for meeting spaces of all sizes, simplifying teamwork and bringing people together - whether in the office meeting room or working from home.
As much of the world has become accustomed to working from home for the last 12 months, it has been crucial for businesses to remain agile and resilient when it comes to productivity and day-to-day operations. Video conferencing and online collaboration have quickly become the norm, with organizations of all sizes across all sectors quickly deploying new collaboration technology or building on existing technology. Thus ensuring communication channels remain open and cater for both the small minority still in the physical workplace (particularly in certain job roles and sectors) and the vast majority working remotely.
