Our Service Areas

1. Teams Rooms Platform Overview: Beyond Standard Teams

Microsoft Teams Rooms are not just PCs running Teams; they are purpose-built, certified solutions designed to deliver consistent, high-quality meeting experiences.

• Microsoft Teams Rooms vs. Standard Teams:

  Teams Rooms: Dedicated room systems with optimized user interfaces for meeting spaces, one-touch join, and enterprise-grade peripherals. Designed for shared use.
  Standard Teams: Desktop/mobile client for individual users, offering chat, calls, and personal meetings.

• Certified Hardware Requirements and Compatibility:

  Microsoft mandates rigorous Teams Rooms certification for all hardware components (cameras, microphones, speakers, compute) to ensure reliability, performance, and a consistent user experience. This guarantees optimal audio/video quality and seamless operation.

• Cloud-Based Management and Analytics:

  Manage your entire Teams Rooms deployment from the Microsoft Teams Admin Center or the premium Teams Rooms Pro Management Portal. Gain insights into room usage, device health, and call quality for proactive Teams Rooms management.

• Integration with Office 365 and Azure:

  Teams Rooms are deeply embedded within the Microsoft ecosystem. Benefit from native Office 365 integration for calendaring (Exchange), identity (Azure AD), and file sharing (SharePoint/OneDrive). Azure provides the secure, scalable backbone.

• Licensing and Subscription Considerations:

  Teams Rooms require specific licenses (e.g., Teams Rooms Basic or Teams Rooms Pro). We’ll help you navigate the options to ensure compliance and access to desired features like advanced management, AI-powered capabilities, and larger meeting support.
