Distributor Westcoast is reporting a ‘boom’ in USB-based video conferencing, with sales of plug-and-play devices rocketing by more than one third in the last year as more organisations take the simple route to collaboration success.
Westcoast’s UC Business Manager Sam Armstrong says the shift to USB- based hardware is being fuelled by the BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) trend and a desire for simpler and quicker installation and configuration.
He said: “Whether in the office or working elsewhere, simple plug-and-play deployment is becoming a dominant factor in the buying process. Gone are the days of a big clunky piece of hardware sat gathering dust in the corner of a boardroom because no one knew how to use it.”
Westcoast works with many UC vendors including Boom Collaboration whose business ethos is based on delivering ‘better meetings simply’.
Boom Co-founder Holli Hulett said: “USB connectivity is the way forward for many and is becoming widespread across our product portfolio.” This includes UNO and HALO videobars and a dedicated Work From Home kit.
