ScreenBeam Creates Unified Collaboration without ANY Apps

In today’s workplace, sharing content is critical for collaboration. Without seamless collaboration, productivity crumbles. Most unified collaboration systems that work with wireless display require employees and guests to use an app to share content.

In addition to using hardware like cables and dongles to share content, having to use apps also causes friction in the conference room. Especially for guests. The ideal future of wireless display and unified collaboration is to be app-free. That’s why IT and AV professionals seek unified collaboration solutions that reduce the added friction of requiring them.

When polled on use of apps with new generation collaboration devices which offer a variety of features, the majority of participants said apps create too much friction when trying to share content. While 44% said that apps are acceptable when accessing more features. Essentially, as long as screen sharing is accessible through protocols like Airplay, Miracast, or Chromecast, people don’t mind having to use an app to access the additional features. But for the most part, people want to screen share without having to use an app.

For IT/AV professionals, the ideal setup is simple and flexible. A setup that works for the long term. You need a device that can support cross-platform screen sharing without requiring an app. You need a device that allows guest access and supports personalized configuration that does not compromise security. In a perfect world, meetings become a one-click experience.

App-based collaboration systems may still have a place in the game, but they will need to find a way to invest in being able to support enterprise needs. ScreenBeam understands enterprise needs, the network and the users. With ScreenBeam 1100 Plus there are no apps whatsoever.
