TIG showcases how Crestron can enhance the Hybrid Workplace at Omega Digital’s ‘Extending the Lead’ event in South Africa
Technological Innovations Group (TIG), the exclusive sales agency for Crestron in EMEA with over 120 dedicated Crestron sales professionals and offices in 10 locations, was a proud sponsor of the ‘Extending the Lead’ event, hosted by South African dealer Omega Digital last Friday.
Taking place at the Maslow Hotel Sandton on Friday 9th September, this internal conference saw Omega’s staff and customers explore the latest manufacturer solutions for the hybrid working era. Crestron was a proud exhibitor, showcasing its latest solutions on an innovative technology booth, and explaining how it can ease the way clients work and live, through small-group discussion with the Omega Team in a beautiful breakaway room.
Rupert Denoon, Regional Sales Director for Crestron in Southern Africa, conducted an in- depth presentation about the latest workplace management and collaboration solutions, including Crestron Flex Digital Workplace technology, Crestron XiO Cloud, VC4 control, AirMedia wireless conferencing, DM NVX and DMPS Lite.
He comments “Collaboration enables one to successfully work toward a common goal, that’s why we are excited to collaborate with Jabra and bring Intelligent video conferencing to the Crestron Flex digital workplace platform. We both share a common goal to enhancing the meeting room collaboration experience”
Crestron’s partnership with fellow audio, video and collaboration manufacturer, Jabra, was also showcased at the event. Earlier in the year, Crestron gained Microsoft Teams® Room Certification for its Crestron Flex Conference System with Jabra® PanaCast 50 Video Bars, granting status as an ideal solution for smaller meeting spaces.
Rodney Wearing, Jabra Territory Sales Manager - South and East Africa said: "We are very excited to be joining forces with Crestron to bring intelligent video conferencing to the Crestron digital workplace platform. The Jabra PanaCast 50 video bar’s uniquely advanced system architecture powers a range of intelligent features like 180°video technology, advanced beamforming microphones and powerful room-filling sound ensures everyone can hear and be heard. Together we offer complete scalable and configurable meeting room Solutions designed to enhance the collaboration experience.”
The Omega ‘Extending the Lead’ is an annual conference which aims to bring every Omega employee from the company’s various provincial branches under one roof for one day, to embark on a Sales and Operations strategy session, and enjoy sessions from Omega’s most trusted and valued suppliers.
Presentations, partners sessions and discussions were accompanied by opportunities for networking and followed by a special Awards Dinner to end the event.
