One of Europe’s leading research-intensive universities, <\/strong>University College Dublin<\/strong><\/a>(UCD), is among the education institutions that have chosen DTEN solutions to standardise their hybrid meeting rooms, enabling staff and students to connect seamlessly from over 70 rooms.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Challenge<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

UCD, like many others, had implemented a range of video conferencing solutions over the years resulting in  an assortment of meeting rooms with varying degrees of success. In many cases, there was a high level of IT Support required, with users often unfamiliar with the solution in place or not having an adapter if connecting via a Mac or tablet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, Customer familiarity and confidence in the disparate solutions was low which is why in February 2022, a university-wide group at UCD was asked to make a recommendation for a standard hybrid meeting room solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn order to enable UCD staff to continue to work effectively, we needed a hybrid meeting room solution that could provide an engaging and user-friendly experience for all participants regardless of their location.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nBrian Morrissey, Head of Enterprise Applications at University College Dublin, IT Services<\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Among the determining factors, integration with Zoom Rooms and Google Calendar were paramount, both from the perspective of ease of use, and in aligning the solution with our chosen meeting and collaboration platforms. The Zoom Rooms features are an integral part of the Zoom solution roadmap and UCD wanted to ensure that their chosen solution leveraged developments in that area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Solution<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Working with Image Supply Systems<\/a>, a leading Irish audio visual integrator, UCD set out to achieve their simple objective \u2018To provide faculty and staff with clear guidance on video conferencing equipment to enable rooms for hybrid meetings.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With several competing solutions being reviewed, UCD selected DTEN\u2019s foundational D7 All-in-One Solution<\/a> as the standard solution for meeting room spaces across the university. They opted for both 55\u201d and 75\u201d screen sizes to suit their requirements of 70+ rooms, ranging from small huddle room spaces to large conference rooms.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morrissey adds: \u201cFor ease of use, management of the facility and integration with our Zoom environment, the DTEN solution stood out.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Benefit<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With the vast majority of the DTEN D7<\/a>\u2019s wall mounted, Image Supply Systems were able to install up to 5 rooms in a day, due to the plug and play nature and slimline All-in-One profile. The benefit of this was the cost savings against a multi-component solution, as well as the minimal impact it had on the University with rooms not being unusable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ease of use of the D7 All-in-One is something that UCD have benefited from. Morrissey comments:<\/strong>  \u201cStaff are familiar with the solution and are comfortable presenting and managing meetings in any <\/strong>DTEN-enabled room.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morrissey  concludes: \u201cThe support required from local room managers is very low because of this broad familiarity and because there are very few \u2018moving parts\u2019 in the solution. It was imperative that the solution chosen actually reduced the support requirement involved in conducting university business.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easy to Install. Easy to Use. Easy to Manage.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
