Description

What do Mark Zuckerberg's home, the University of Notre Dame, the biggest casino in Reno, and Shopify's offices all have in common? They're all powered by Crestron technology. Who is this $1.5B silent leader that's transforming how we live, work, learn, and play? Crestron was founded in 1971 and has come a long way from its A/V nerd roots. Here in 2020, Crestron is at the forefront of cutting edge technology that is, in a nutshell, making our lives easier. Crestron is partnering with companies like Apple and Amazon to connect all facets of our lives. For example, in a Crestron-powered meeting room, you could say, "Alexa, start my meeting," and you will automatically be dialed-in to a conference line with your presentation displayed on the screen. However, meeting rooms aren't all they're doing. Crestron's circadian lighting is helping improve productivity AND sleep schedules. Its smart home technology is customizable and easy to use. They're making "smart" hospital rooms that improve patient and physician experiences. Recently, Crestron announced a new partnership with Logitech to deliver a premier video conferencing, room control, scheduling, and management experience for rooms of any size. These workplace solutions pair the Crestron Flex C series with Logitech MeetUp, Logitech Rally or Logitech Rally Plus to deliver a complete unified communications experience for small, medium, and large rooms. Each system is compatible with Microsoft Teams Rooms® or Zoom Rooms™, providing greater choice and flexibility for customers. In addition, each system includes room booking capability powered by Crestron Room Scheduling, as well as a Management portal powered by Crestron XiO Cloud™, that seamlessly integrates Logitech's Sync APIs, aggregating Logitech, and Crestron products into one common management platform. I invited Nic Milani, executive director at Crestron onto Tech Talks Daily to share how this partnership came about and what the two companies hope to provide to their customers? Nic also talks about how it will enable support teams to easily manage all of the technology in a meeting room with a simple set of tools, while also providing key insights about how employees work and how the workspace is being utilized. I learn how Crestron and Logitech technology works together to provide customers a seamless room experience from videoconferencing to advanced room controls such as lighting, occupancy sensors, wireless presentation, source switching, and beyond.
