The mobile workforce is growing at a rapid rate, and its workers need technology that enable them to be more efficient at collaborating and communicating. Gavin Sear, Manager Global Product Marketing at Plantronics talks about the new Calisto 7200 in his recent blog:

"Today I have the pleasure of letting you all know that Plantronics has added to the Calisto family of speakerphones by introducing Calisto 7200 to the market. This new, sleek and compact speakerphone is designed specifically for small “huddle rooms” for up to six people, to provide a meeting experience beyond compare. With the addition of Calisto 7200, our partners can now offer their customers a complete selection of audio collaboration devices: headsets, personal and small group speakerphones.

We created this product in a collaboration that began last year with Polycom, a leader in the conferencing space, as we share a mutual goal of providing users with superior user experiences. There’s no doubt the need for small conference rooms is growing quickly. A Nemertes 2018 study found 67 percent of IT leaders are evaluating now, or planning this year or next year, to invest in meeting rooms. Even in today’s open-office environments, the need for smaller conference and collaboration rooms is increasing.

Calisto 7200 offers a professional audio experience on both ends of the call, powered by Polycom. Four highly-directional microphones pick up speech from every corner of the meeting room, with a great reduction of the “cave effect” of room reverberance. In addition, Calisto 7200 comes with wide band support for natural-sounding meetings with a small group of people. Noise cancelling technology filters out undesirable background noises like keyboard typing and paper shuffling when nobody in the room is actively speaking.

One of the best things about this speakerphone is that it can help increase adoption of unified communications (UC) systems. Because it’s so easy to use, with intuitive, plug-and-play connectivity for both PCs and mobile phones, it’s just flat-out simple to connect with UC applications. An additional side benefit is that businesses placing these in their huddle rooms don’t need to worry about post-installation availability. Calisto 7200 comes with a combined USB audio and security cable. However, without the locking cable, the device is portable, so you can take it on the road with you if you wish. To top it all off, there is software support for asset management via our Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering, Plantronics Manager Pro. With the subscription of Plantronics Manager Pro, IT can track these (and other) Plantronics audio and mobile devices to control inventory, update firmware, pre-configure and lock device settings remotely to ensure consistent audio across all devices.

Calisto 7200 connects easily via a USB cable, or you can connect wirelessly via Bluetooth. It has touch-sensitive controls to make it easy to manage calls and the Bluetooth memory can be cleared of previously paired devices which is essential for a shared audio device. And it’s affordable enough to install in all of your huddle rooms, small conference rooms and collaboration zones."

When you're designing an office for your business, there are often an overwhelming number of options available for décor and it becomes difficult to make a decision.

Most suppliers offer not only furniture, but stationery and other office supplies too. When you visit their website or physical store, the sales people can't offer much more guidance than colour choices or information about what is in stock, because they themselves aren't entirely sure about the details of every individual item.Office Stock has changed all that.

They are the new market leaders in office furniture and specialise in giving tailor-made advice to their clients for their varying needs. Their manufacturers and suppliers are all experts in the furniture world, and the Office Stock consultants know the difference between veneer and laminate. They can also explain to you why a particular desk will work better in a particular space, not simply based on aesthetics, but also taking your unique needs and staff preferences into account.

You will be able to furnish your entire office, with a fully blended and consistent design, while still ensuring that there is an executive suite for board meetings, a specific chair for the boss who has a back problem, and a smooth-lined desk for the receptionist so that she doesn't hook her dress on the corners.

These are the kinds of finer details that Office Stock considers, and why they are miles ahead of the competition.

Office Stock are the experts in ergonomics, smart office design, and high quality furniture that can be custom-made. Can't find a desk to fit into that odd-shaped corner? No problem. Office Stock will ensure you find the perfect piece at the price you can afford, and if they don't have it in stock, they will manufacture it for you according to exact specifications.

The Office Stock website is the go-to hub for corporate furniture information and office decor.
