Powered by Microsoft Teams, Connect Meeting Rooms as a Service focuses on the ever-growing number of organizations that allow employees to work remotely, either part-time or full-time. According to the business and technology website, EarthWeb, only 3.4 percent of Americans worked from home prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. That number jumped to 18 percent during COVID. Today, 99 percent of those remote workers wish to continue working from home in the future. This is a statistic that David Ellis, Vice President of Growth at Continuant, considers a huge opportunity.

“Until now, many organizations have struggled to keep up with the technology required to conduct meetings in a hybrid work environment,”” Ellis said. “Our research identified an unmet need in the mid- to large-size enterprise, where conducting meetings in a hybrid work environment has become the norm. What we offer is a cost-effective way to strengthen the bridge between the physical and the digital world.”

According to Ellis, Continuant Managed Services created Connect Meeting Rooms as a Service to help organizations that require anywhere from 10 to 1,000 meeting rooms, while at the same time dealing with outdated technology and budget constraints. “By offering meeting rooms ‘as a service,’ we make it easy for organizations to scale up or down as needed,” he said.

Most meeting rooms include control surfaces (hardware and software), enriched audio and video technology, high-performance monitors, cameras, microphones, and lighting. What sets Connect Meeting Rooms as a Service apart is that Continuant pre-configures these rooms prior to delivery and installation, Ellis said. “By developing an ‘off-the-shelf’ solution, Continuant is able to deliver a cost-effective solution to the challenges many organizations face dealing with the post-pandemic workplace.”
