When you think about “immersive solutions,” you probably imagine a huge multi-screen array that combines high def video and surround sound audio to produce a convincing facsmile of a “real life” meeting. Such immersive telepresence solutions are crucial for conferences and meetings attended by top-level execs and board members--it’s the video equivalent of that well-appointed upper floor office where big decisions are made and blockbuster deals are brokered.
However, the concept of “immersion” need not be limited to conferencing solutions that mimic the qualities of a top-notch home theater arrangement. When we think about immersive solutions, we should be imagining the ways in which everyday work can be transformed into a malleable yet cohesive flow that anyone can join at any time and from anywhere.
What we’re talking about are immersive collaboration solutions, technological interventions that allow employees to work and communicate in real-time and with shared worfklows, so that team members can come together to solve problems and innovate breakthroughs on any device and from any location.
Back in the day, collaborative work was limited by the nature of space and time. The work people did together was mostly confined to shared physical spaces and consigned to windows of time in which people could make their schedules align. However, with the advent of cloud computing and mobile conferencing solutions, collaboration is being transformed into an ongoing and constantly evolving process that takes into account the temporal and spacial dispersion of the modern workforce.
Consider, for example, Cisco’s brand new collaboration tool, the Cisco Spark Board, which leverages cloud storage to bring collaboration out of the huddle room and into the world at large. An all-in-one collaboration solution that incorporates video conferencing, wireless presentation technology and whiteboard capabilities, Cisco Spark Board keeps everything in the cloud, so when you leave the room you can take your work with you. In fact, you never need to be in the room with the Board in the first place, as any farflung team member on a mobile device can join in at any time.
The Spark Board is but one solution changing the way collaboration happens. We can see similar expansive principles at work in Prime Call Cloud MeetMe, which offers universal browser access that allows users to share content and collaborate with other web, mobile and desktop users, as well as with a wide variety of third party endpoints.But this is but the tip of the iceberg.
