Global Energy Provider Deploys 28 Conference Rooms in 14 Days


A global organization needed to upgrade its conference room systems. They desired a solution that was easy to use and consistent across their organization. With 2,400 rooms to update, the deployments needed to be efficient, causing as little disruption as possible. Standardization on the platform and room equipment would also simplify ongoing support, training and maintenance.

Microsoft and Wesco teamed up to produce a Room-in-a-Box solution that would address the customer’s requirements and the needs of their conference environments. Through Wesco’s deployment services, each room arrived ready to install, and the first 28 rooms were completed in only 14 days. We surpassed our customer’s expectations. Together, Microsoft and Wesco are making video collaboration easy.
