It assesses the various technology benefits of high-quality audio and how it increases the overall value and return on investment (RoI) of collaboration solutions.

"Once offices reopen, health and well-being regulations will require employees to have minimal contact with shared surfaces. Therefore, there will be a great demand for touch-less conferencing," explained Robert Arnold, Principal Analyst, Connected Work, Frost & Sullivan. "As enterprises build a robust conferencing ecosystem, the adoption of A/V technologies that aid simple deployment, intuitive operation, and seamless compatibility with leading collaboration platforms will experience significant growth."

Jim Schanz| Vice President, Global Integrated Systems Sales at Shure, said, "To optimize audio performance in rooms connected to any conferencing service as well as to streamline room audio management, organizations must emphasize standardization of certified audio devices. As no meeting can be effective without quality audio, investing in a scalable infrastructure can position businesses of any size for greater success as they battle evolving market factors."

Technology buyers and investment influencers need to perform due diligence to identify the best solution for their specific needs. The most important benefits include:

· Enhanced ownership through a single-source provider that simplifies purchasing and deployment and serves as a single point of contact for support.

·Standardization that delivers a common set of monitoring and management functions to streamline routine IT tasks performed from anywhere and at any time, reduce help desk tickets, and assure uniform security and consistent user experiences for any meeting across the organization.

· Certified interoperability with popular third-party conferencing services, which expands usage and use cases to accelerate RoI.
