With its CX5100 and CX5500 products, Polycom (the sponsor of this study) has taken an innovative approach to resolving this situation. The CX5100 and CX5500 are 360 degree camera systems that sit in the middle of the conference room table, providing remote Skype for Business/Lync users with a better “connection” to the meeting room. And unlike traditional video conferencing systems, the “camera in the middle of the table” approach is flexible enough to support both standard / formal meetings and teaming sessions.

Sr. Analyst and Partner at Wainhouse Research, Ira Weinstein, and his team spent months evaluating Zoom. Here are their findings.

The concept of all centralizing all communication methodologies (presence, instant messaging, voice, video, and messaging services) within a single system, a.k.a. unified communications or UC, is not new. One of the most popular platforms is Microsoft. In fact, Microsoft has indicated that it has 110 million Skype for Business or Lync users around the world. However, many organizations have yet to fully embrace the video conferencing capabilities available within Skype for Business / Lync. Overall we view Skype for Business (SfB) video conferencing as an excellent choice for sessions involving only SfB users. However, the SfB experience is focused more on content sharing and less on live video.

In this paper, Wainhouse also compares two options for companies seeking better video capabilities.

Polycom Pano, a wireless and wired presentation solution, is designed to make it quick and easy for meeting participants to present and share various types of content. Polycom commissioned the Wainhouse Research test team to perform a third-party assessment of Pano. To facilitate this effort, Polycom provided a pre-release version of the Pano device, and a Sharp PN-L703B 1080p touch-capable 70” display. This report contains the results of our hands-on testing.

In December 2012, Wainhouse Research (WR) and Polycom jointly created and fielded a WR-branded survey focused on the benefits that organizations realize via the use of video conferencing. Invitations to participate in the survey were released in numerous ways including: - Via email invites to a list of Polycom end-user contacts - Via email invites to a list of WR end-user contacts - Via clickable banners on numerous websites This document provides a top-level view of the survey data, along with some additional findings and observations.

"Over the years, the features, functions, and capabilities offered by group video conferencing systems have expanded and evolved. And the requirements and expectations of collaboration users have changed along with them. This 2016 Buyers Guide helps end users understand the features and functions needed to collaboration-enable five of the most common spaces found in enterprises of all sizes; - small (huddle) rooms - teaming spaces - standard meeting rooms - executive boardrooms - reconfigurable (and perhaps divisible) spaces Download the ""2016 Buyers Guide: Making Smart Group Video Collaboration Decisions"" by Wainhouse Research that will help you make informed decisions regarding your video collaboration strategy."

In the past, business meetings were treated like formal events. They were scheduled days or weeks in advance, often on a recurring basis (e.g. every second Tuesday), and had a defined start time and end time. Typically, these meetings had a named meeting host who managed the session and guided the team through a pre-published agenda.

"Over the next few years, advanced collaboration products and services will make their way into the millions of smaller meeting rooms (a.k.a. huddle rooms) in order to create flexible, productive work environments. Wainhouse Research believes that huddle rooms should be an integral part of every organization’s meeting room and collaboration strategy. Download this study by Wainhouse Research to get insights into how to maximize usage of small meeting spaces."

This study, sponsored by Polycom, is intended to raise awareness of the value and importance of these misunderstood, mismanaged, and often under-appreciated meeting spaces.
