Following a migration from Skype® for Business software to Microsoft Teams® platform, Cushman & Wakefield needed a native video conferencing solution that would address the needs of retrofits in their existing offices and also serve as a room design blueprint for new locations. Sagar Modi, Global Unified Communications Architect at Cushman & Wakefield, and his team set out to refresh these offices with the latest conferencing and room scheduling technology.

The Cushman & Wakefield meetings rooms were designed to cater to the user experience and meet the requests of employees to address any pain points and create a frictionless experience. In other Cushman & Wakefield offices, design standards have been developed using Crestron Flex that focus on the technology needs of each area. The variety of form factors in the Crestron Flex portfolio has made it possible to maintain a consistent Microsoft Teams experience throughout the offices.

Additionally, Crestron room scheduling offers a simple and consistent experience for room booking. Employees can easily see when a room is booked or available and schedule an open space directly from the panel.

Cushman & Wakefield has deployed over 300 scheduling panels globally, which has made managing rooms more efficient throughout the offices. Supporting the technology across their global offices is no small task for Modi and his team. The Crestron XiO Cloud® Technology Operations Management Platform is used to monitor every Crestron solution deployed globally. Since XiO Cloud can be used over any network, IT support can happen from anywhere to any device saving both time and money.
