IComm, Australian workplace integrator, has unveiled a demo space in Sydney which showcases the range of new products and technologies which will be ideal for the shift to hybrid working.

Businesses will have to adjust to the ‘new normal’ as people start to head back to the workplace following COVID-19 lockdowns. Research shows that 74% of companies intend to shift some employees to remote work permanently and 83% to continue working from home in some capacity when lockdown ends.

The IComm showroom in King street lets visitors experience first-hand the conferencing and collaboration technology such as Poly Room Solutions for Microsoft Teams Rooms, which offers the latest tools to deliver best-in-class audio and video experiences, such as automatic group framing to speaker tracking technologies, and can be demoed to show how they work in meeting rooms of all sizes.

Earlier this year IComm became a part of the Cloud Collective, an alliance of three leading Microsoft Gold partners providing innovative end-to-end digital solutions to customers. The IComm Sydney expansion has seen the creation of five new roles so far, specialising in video conferencing or heavy architectural experience.

“We’re excited to feature the technology that will power the future of working to the Sydney market via our new Sydney showroom,” IComm managing director Rob Dell says.

“The cutting-edge products we can demo here, such as Poly’s Microsoft Teams end-to-end solutions, fill a vital gap for many organisations as they transition to hybrid working.

“We’re currently living through an unprecedented public health crisis that has wide-reaching impacts for our wellbeing, careers, businesses and the wider economy. We hope to demonstrate the different opportunities for hybrid working and how these technologies can support and enhance productivity and new working practices,” he added.
