An Investment and Asset Management Firm

An investment and asset management firm with over 3,000 employees needed a simpler, more reliable meeting room solution to replace its older collaboration tools across 60 rooms. They sought a technology partner who could deliver a consistent, Cisco-only experience, even in their most complex spaces—a challenge other competitors said couldn’t be done.

The Challenge

When employees tried to launch a video conference, the firm faced critical challenges:

Unreliable Technology: The firm’s meeting rooms had older, unreliable collaboration tools that might or might not work, a situation described as being “like playing roulette”.
High Operational Costs: The bills for repairing malfunctioning equipment were mounting, and IT team members were often required in meetings to create workarounds, resulting in wasted time.
Need for a Consistent Experience: The firm wanted to use only Cisco Touch10 control panels for consistency, but competitors claimed the technology wouldn’t work in complex spaces like divided meeting rooms.

The company’s goal was clear: find a simpler, more reliable meeting room solution.

The Solution

RoomReady, as Presidio’s AV integration partner, delivered a customized solution that proved the seemingly impossible was achievable:

Customized Cisco Control Panels: Leveraging a deep understanding of Cisco technology, RoomReady’s team customized the Cisco Touch10 panels for the firm’s unique needs, including complex divisible rooms, to provide the consistent experience employees needed.
Tailored Room Solutions: For rooms where an all-in-one endpoint was not feasible, RoomReady helped build a custom solution that acted and felt like all other standard rooms to the end user, reducing complexity as much as possible.
Company-Wide Standards: The RoomReady team helped the firm build room standards to roll out company-wide, a strategy designed to decrease installation time and substantially reduce technology expenses.
Virtual Control Rooms: To give the firm’s internal AV team more hands-on involvement, RoomReady built virtual control rooms for use in training rooms and executive boardrooms.

The Results

RoomReady’s innovative approach produced exceptional outcomes:

Achieved the Impossible: RoomReady helped Presidio complete an installation that every other competitor said couldn’t be done by making the Cisco Touch10 panels work in complex spaces.
A Consistent User Experience: The successful customization of the Cisco panels gave the firm’s employees the consistent meeting room experience they needed.
Reduced Complexity and Costs: By creating custom solutions that felt like standard rooms and by building company-wide standards, RoomReady helped decrease installation time and substantially reduce the firm’s technology expenses.

Ultimately, RoomReady’s innovations helped Presidio bring simplicity and consistency to its customer’s most complex meeting rooms.
