Blackbaud

Blackbaud wanted its new headquarters in Charleston, SC to be a communication-friendly place without any connectivity issues. One of the goals of Blackbaud as a company is to actively engage with the communities where it has office locations. Always ready to lend a hand, Blackbaud allows local non-profits to use its new high-tech space for large meetings.

Because outside groups would be regular users of its new facility, Blackbaud wanted to make sure that the communication and connectivity systems were very high-end yet straightforward and easy to use. Single-touch quick access was needed to simplify the communication process. From the large conference halls to the smaller huddle spaces, simplicity was a key design element the company required.

Solutionz Inc developed an integration plan for Blackbaud’s meeting and connectivity goals across locations. Blackbaud wanted a one-touch Cisco video setup linked to Outlook and Webex. The idea was to have a real-time connectivity mechanism whereby all team members using Outlook could simply book a meeting. The system would take care of connectivity between two or more team rooms, whether in one building or multiple locations around the globe.
