Overview
Delivering a flawless start to any meeting, Acendo Core Meeting Collaboration System (
FG4051-00
) includes wide support for Web
Conferencing Platforms including one-click Skype for Business meeting launch, document sharing, web browsing, room scheduling,
and more, directly from the meeting space touch display or keyboard and mouse. This chapter provides a brief overview of the
functional capabilities, details about connections and wiring, and product specifications of the Acendo Core System.
Features
Wide support for Web Conferencing Platforms, including one-click Skype for Business – Users can quickly and easily join
a scheduled Skype for Business meeting without having to find a link or meeting invite, enhancing productivity by
reducing wait time.
Built-in Document Viewers – Users can present content without bringing any devices to the room. Users simply walk into
the room, start a session, navigate to their document (USB drive, network drive, or the web), and start their
presentation.
Network Drive Support – Many enterprises choose to have all their documents stored on network drives. If a user
authenticates into a meeting, they will have access to content stored on those drives. As Core is always on, there is no
waiting for boot up time allowing users to access their network content quickly enhancing workforce productivity.
Active Directory Authentication – By natively integrating with Active Directory, users can authenticate into Acendo Core
and access network drives. Furthermore, administrators have the option to require authentication in order to use Core
for secure document and network access.
Simple and Intuitive On-screen Scheduling – At a glance users can see the status of the meeting room. From the start
screen, users can book the room if it is available, start their meeting, or book a nearby room quickly, therefore
minimizing wait time and improving productivity
End-of-Meeting Notifications – Meetings start on time because the previous meeting ended on time. Meetings have an
opportunity to wrap up cleanly and capture actions effectively because users are provided with a calender icon changing
to amber 5 minutes prior to the end of the scheduled meeting time.
