BUSINESS BRIEFING technologyreseller.co.uk 25 With its TEOS ecosystem and BRAVIA Professional Displays, Sony offers the most comprehensive, end-to-end portfolio of solutions for workspace management Available through Northamber, TEOS by Sony is a suite of workplace management solutions that gives AV, IT and facilities managers full control over devices, signage and content across the entire workplace ecosystem. “Today’s agile workplaces demand the seamless integration of services and intuitive management tools to keep things running smoothly. If we want people to make the most of their time at work, we have to make sure they can get the most out of their working environment. TEOS is leading the way in driving the broader workplace transformation agenda and enabling organisations to adapt to the normalisation of flexible remote working in the post-pandemic age,” said Adam Dover, Trade & Segment Marketing Manager, Sony Professional Displays and Solutions. Making the smart workplace a reality TEOS workplace management solutions are a complete suite of solutions designed to unlock productivity, creativity, communication and collaboration. Users can orchestrate their entire workspace centrally with personalised signage, room booking and desking, automated visitor sign-in and technologies to enable better collaboration. “From meeting rooms to reception areas, the TEOS workplace management solutions optimise connected devices in working and learning environments, saving our resellers’ customers time, money and energy, while being flexible and scalable to meet changing workplace needs,” said Kiel Hillier, Head of AV Product, Northamber. “For example, TEOS Reception is an efficient and secure sign-in solution for organisations without a dedicated receptionist. Visitors can announce their arrival using a dedicated tablet or interactive touchscreen and the system generates a customised badge and discreetly alerts hosts by SMS or email,” he added. Optimise the use of meeting areas “With features including TEOS Book, Meet and Connect, the platform is designed to enable people to master meetings,” said Dover. Employees can find and book meeting rooms in an instant using an interactive tablet which displays a meeting room’s name, availability, current meeting information, and a list of forthcoming meetings – helping organisations to optimise the use of meeting areas. “TEOS Meet gives users’ complete control of booking, sharing and collaborating in person and remotely. It provides users with visibility of the applications and services available in a meeting room, whether that be a BRAVIA display or projector, so users can prepare their content accordingly and reduce time spent setting up technology at the beginning of meetings. It also enables users to have complete control of the room, including lighting, blinds and temperatures,” he added. “Additionally, with TEOS Meet, it’s easy to keeps teams connected wherever they are through a mobile application to manage meetings and hot desks. It combines booking, room control and mirroring, with no need to be on the company network.” Collaborative work sessions TEOS Connect enables users to present wirelessly from laptops to Sony’s BRAVIA Professional Displays. “Meetings become more efficient as people can share work without worrying about cables and input settings,” Hillier explained. Available in sizes up to 100”, Sony BRAVIA slim, energy-efficient professional displays combine spectacular 4K or 8K HDR picture quality with versatile integration options and low running costs. They’re made for business, fitting seamlessly into today’s networked AV environments with smart customisation and management features. Other solutions include wayfinding for easy workplace navigation. Wayfinding content for interactive BRAVIA and touch tablets helps users navigate and enables them to easily book rooms and access key information such as a floor map, hotspot or security location. “This functionality, which takes the form of a floor map integrated into the central TEOS software, will also work for floating desks to facilitate a more seamless user journey throughout the working environment,” Dover explained. Cloud-enabled With its new cloud offering, Sony is extending the platform’s access to SMBs without requiring investment in on-site hardware or physical infrastructure. The cloud-enabled TEOS platform features revamped interface and template designs, new room and desk booking and signage workflows, as well as features that enable flexible working, and importantly for resellers, provides a recurring revenue stream as well as the flexibility to scale and grow as customer needs change.
