RoomReady Tech Lab: Your Playground for Future-Proofing Collaboration Spaces

It’s no secret that the world of work has transformed — and it’s never going back to the way it was. Hybrid work models are the norm, and video conferencing is no longer a novelty — it’s the cornerstone of seamless communication.

But with a multitude of platforms, hardware, and software options, ensuring compatibility and a smooth user experience across the board can be a daunting task at best. At worst, inadequate communication setups can go ignored, with teams not even recognizing they even need upgrades.

As we finalize our exciting move to a new headquarters in Bloomington, IL, we’re thrilled to announce the expansion of RoomReady’s Tech Lab capabilities. This upgraded facility will serve as an even more comprehensive Innovation Center, showcasing the latest collaboration solutions and allowing you to experience them firsthand.

It’s your one-stop shop for demystifying the intricate world of collaboration technologies.

Unveiling the RoomReady Tech Lab: Your Collaborative Technology Sandbox

So, how do you know what a truly optimized video conferencing system should look like? And how can you be sure it can fit into your unique office’s ecosystem? That’s where the RoomReady Tech Lab comes in.

The RoomReady Tech Lab isn’t your typical showroom. It’s a dynamic, hands-on environment designed to bridge the gap between theory and reality for collaboration technology. Here, you’ll step beyond product brochures and static demos to experience cutting-edge AV solutions firsthand.

Think of it as a collaborative sandbox — a playground where you can experience different hardware and software configurations, compare user experiences across platforms, and identify the ideal technology mix to empower your hybrid workforce. Our team of industry experts will be your guides, providing insights and addressing any questions you may have throughout your exploration.

Optimizing the User Experience

Compatibility is crucial, but it’s only part of the equation. At the Tech Lab, we go beyond simply ensuring different hardware and software components work together. We delve into the user experience for legacy products, recent innovations, and beta releases from our vendor partners, allowing you to explore the nuances of various collaboration platforms and how they function in real-world scenarios.

Imagine comparing video conferencing experiences across different platforms like Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Cisco Webex, all while testing the latest in video conferencing hardware and tech like AI features, multi-camera setups, and 360-degree cameras. You can see firsthand how joining a call differs depending on the hardware solution, or how the user experience changes across platforms and desktop clients. This level of hands-on exploration empowers you to make informed decisions about the technology that best suits your team’s workflow and preferences.

The Tech Lab isn’t just about testing individual components; it’s about understanding how they work together within your existing ecosystem. Here, you can assess the feasibility of integrating multiple platforms for a seamless user experience.

If you’re at a loss for where to start with a video conferencing upgrade, we can help you conduct a thorough needs analysis to determine the perfect starting point for optimizing your meeting spaces.

The Tech Lab allows you to explore your options and get a realistic understanding of the associated costs, helping you make informed decisions that maximize your ROI. We can even help you analyze scalability solutions to ensure your collaboration infrastructure adapts seamlessly to your evolving business needs.
