Aspire Removes Barriers to Video Conferencing and Brings Usability to the Boardroom

Industry: Wellness Services

Practice Area: Video & Web Conferencing

The client is a publicly-traded, leading provider of weight loss products and services, having helped millions of people lose weight over the course of more than 45 years. The company offers safe, effective and scientifically-backed weight-loss plans, with a distinguished Science Advisory Board and strong clinical studies.

Challenge: Too much complexity leads to frustrating meeting experiences

The client had an existing video conferencing solution in its executive boardroom that was unreliable, cumbersome-to-use, and made it difficult to connect and share presentations with external business partners and remote offices. The challenges with the existing technology resulted in inefficient meetings, lost productivity, unnecessary travel, and general frustration. Senior leadership needed a solution that was easy to use, provided a high-quality meeting experience, and would lead to broader adoption and use of their collaboration technology investment.

Solution: Transforming the meeting experience

Working with our partner RoomReady, Aspire designed a tightly integrated Cisco Collaboration meeting room solution that brought together industry-leading video conferencing infrastructure, endpoints, and Webex conferencing services to deliver an exceptional boardroom meeting experience. Removing the complexity, the Cisco technology provided a seamless, user-friendly platform combining wireless presentation, digital whiteboarding, and high-quality audio and video conferencing all managed from an easy-to-use device.

Outcome: Intelligence and usability in the boardroom

Leveraging the latest Cisco collaboration technologies, Aspire implemented a solution that removed the barriers to using video. With just the push of a button, the client is now able to easily launch a video call. Senior management, staff, partners and clients share applications, presentations, and reports. Teams now communicate as naturally as they would in person – with every expression, gesture, and nuance clearly visible. The easy-to-use technology has improved staff productivity and meeting efficiency, and the boardroom features an appealing aesthetic design that helps the space “stand out like it should”.
