Harman Announces Strategic Alliance With Zoom, Debuts Side-By-Side Zoom Room And Meeting Space Control
Zoom Video Communications, Inc. and HARMAN Professional Solution’s AMX Acendo Core Collaboration System
HARMAN Professional Solutions has announced an exciting new alliance and product offering with Zoom Video Communications, Inc., that transforms standard meeting spaces into powerful collaboration centers. Available immediately, two new solutions integrate the AMX Acendo Core Collaboration System and the Zoom Meetings service as well as AMX Modero G5 Control Panels and the Zoom Rooms Controller app to give users the freedom to make meetings more productive, efficient, and impactful.
The AMX Acendo Core Collaboration System is immediately ready to support and natively run the cloud-based Zoom Meetings application to instantly launch one-touch Zoom Meetings. Zoom Meetings offer users simplified, streamlined video communications and messaging, including the ability to record meetings locally or to the cloud, as well as many additional features to deliver a more interactive meeting experience. The AMX Acendo Core platform delivers a flawless end-to-end meeting experience and features wireless document sharing, web browsing, room scheduling and more.
AMX Modero G5 Control Panels supports the cloud-based, Zoom Rooms controller application to expand Modero G5-controlled standard rooms into complete, fully ready-to-collaborate, meeting spaces. The AMX and Zoom collaboration is the first of its kind to offer users the ability to simultaneously and seamlessly run the Zoom Rooms app alongside touch-based room control applications and other onscreen functions such as powering on/off lights and displays, opening and closing shades, and controlling the environment.
“The Acendo suite of collaboration products from AMX is targeted to modern conferencing needs especially for huddle spaces, smart classrooms and higher education. While Intuitive setup and operation, ease of use and convenience are key, it’s also important to incorporate versatility and integration with the latest desktop conferencing tools available. From the context of the India market, we are seeing Indian customers demanding the same level of functionality and power as available globally on collaboration platforms. The rapid growth in huddle space meeting rooms especially in the co-working environment where the ability to have meetings on-the-go is fueling huge demand for applications such as these. We are excited with this development and look forward to rolling this out to our customers soon” said Prashant Govindan, Sr. Director, Harman Professional Solutions, India and SAARC.
