CRESTRON ASIA: Driving the Future Of Unified Communications with an Umbrella Of Solutions
While unified communications has evolved as a strategically important technology to provide a complete infrastructure for better communication, collaboration and productivity across an enterprise, they come associated with challenges that need to be addressed for enterprises to derive maximum benefits. Most often, organisations run into challenges with deployment of UC systems, integration of these systems with disparate technologies and gaining access to them from different locations. The foremost requirement of enterprises utilizing this technology is to collaborate with a solution provider that offers UC systems which can be integrated with existing technologies as well as, be made accessible both on the company’s premise and other locations, giving them a one stop solution to leverage a robust initial investment and a full ROI. In a quest to be the best solutions provider in this domain, Crestron Asia has been committed towards aligning with the aforementioned requisites, bringing advanced control and automation systems that reinvent the way people live and work.Incorporated in 1971, Crestron has been utilizing the domain expertise that they have gained in the last 40 years to bring together novel technologies in design and manufacturing of advanced control and automation systems. Crestron Asia, headquartered in Hong Kong with offices across India, has been providing solutions that seamlessly integrate systems and devices in buildings onto a single open platform so that the reality of any-to-any communication is achieved in a cost effective and productive way.

Enabling Seamless Collaboration across Enterprises
Recognising that productivity in meetings often depends upon the ability to share various types of information with ease, Crestron has created audio visual (AV) solutions that enhance interactions with clarity and intuitive presenter control, thereby simplifying sharing of information in any format. Among the solutions proffered by Crestron is a server-based application, Crestron RL 2. This advanced group collaborative solution combines Crestron hardware with Skype for Business software, enabling real time group collaboration and unified communications with customers and partners, anywhere, anytime. The solution can additionally integrate with Crestron Fusion, an enterprise management platform, to support room scheduling and management, using existing IT infrastructure to monitor and control operations across the entire enterprise. Another unique feature of Crestron RL 2 is that it integrates with its own automation solutions, allowing users to control AV, lighting and climate from the same touch panel.
Crestron RL 2 thus serves as a complete turnkey solution for conference rooms and executive offices, rendering efficiency while saving time and costs incurred.
