Our eXcellerate virtual series kicked off with January’s webinar on “How to Host a Great Hybrid Meeting!”

NWN Carousel’s VP of Visual Collaboration & Workspace, Brian Fichter, invited Microsoft’s Jimmy Vaughan to hold a lively, interactive discussion on best practices around how to support the hybrid worker. The conversation focused on creating a strategic approach to hybrid work. In order to truly make it effective — attendees learned you can’t achieve success based on only one consumed service, or tool — it must be holistic!

Ways to Solve for Remote Employees who Feel Disconnected

“One of the aspects NWN Carousel really embraces with the solutions we deliver is no matter what type of room you’re in, you are going to get the same experience; the same ease of use,” said Brian.

One major way to make employees feel connected is establishing the right infrastructure, and physical office space, to allow for effortless collaboration. This will ensure everyone can be equally heard and seen.

“Excellent combination of including a MS team member to compliment Brian’s message. Good to understand the diligence put towards certifying MS Team devices from third parties.”

Modern Device Management

Bandwidth is critical to the home office worker. For many employees, their at-home Internet connections aren’t able to meet their working needs. To guarantee that employees can work from home successfully, NWN Carousel works with our customers to ensure they have an adequate bandwidth connection.

“The cameras, the bandwidth and the processing have come a long way,” said Brian.

But you don’t want to diminish your meeting experience by not having enough bandwidth to allow your Internet speed to work at maximum efficiency. Nor do you want an incomplete view of your devices, which can cause a security risk.

Checklist for a Hybrid Work Model

• How will we extend a continuous collaboration platform?
• What are the devices & how will they connect to the network?
• Is connectivity going to be secure?
• How do I manage this holistically from an IT perspective?

While the Road Warrior may use both personal and mobile devices; the At Home Worker may have different needs. And the In Office Worker even further distinct demands. NWN Carousel’s core offerings within our new Hybrid Work Suite includes solutions for each persona.

“NWN Carousel has the best engineering staff in the industry. We consult the customer with how they want to use the technology and talk about the pain points. We build a roadmap to gain positive business outcomes,” said Brian.
