A new category in collaboration technology is now officially available. Polycom, Inc. announced that the Polycom® RealPresence Centro, the industry’s first solution purpose-built to put people into the centre of collaboration, for customers in the UAE.
The RealPresence Centro solution introduces a brand new paradigm for group conferencing that drives deep engagement and highly productive meetings by bringing people to the centre of collaboration. The RealPresence Centro solution keys on the instinctive human behaviour to gather in a circle to work together in a more natural way. Research indicates that when people gather in the round, they are more collaborative and productive, and the RealPresence Centro solution is the first to do this in such a way that all members of the video collaboration – both near and far end participants – have an equal and immersive experience. Moreover, the RealPresence Centro system anticipates the needs of its users, displaying exactly who and what you need to see at all times. The four brilliant touch-screen displays and intuitive interface allow for an easy touch-to-join experience and installation is as easy as plug and play. The Centro solution introduces a new paradigm for group conferencing and represents the first “centrepresence” video conferencing solution on the market.
“The workplace is evolving and technologies that allow us to work naturally will have a dramatic impact on increasing productivity and for the first time in the industry, inspire creativity. RealPresence Centro transforms meeting experiences and outcomes, and is the first and only collaboration experience that draws participants into the centre of the discussion through a human-centred design.” ” Ahmed Sousa, Regional Manager & Solution Architects, MEA & Turkey, Polycom.
