Logitech, Jabra, Vaddio and Yamaha have joined Barco’s ClickShare Alliance Program.

Working in coalition, the program aims to improve hybrid meetings, powered by the ClickShare portfolio and peripherals from alliance partners.

Dealing with challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Alliance gives its members a balance between home and office, a hybrid way of working and meeting.

Building a collaboration and conferencing ecosystem, the ClickShare Conference from Barco gives customers an intuitive wireless conferencing solution.

“At Barco we believe solid and long-lasting partnerships are key for growing businesses effectively. Having these best of breed partners onboard in our Alliance Program only underlines the market attractiveness of our ClickShare proposition,” Barco vice president of global alliances David Fitzgerald says.

“And more importantly, we are able to offer customers tested, validated and certified solutions for better hybrid meetings. Because great things happen, when partners click.”

The ClickShare Alliance partner program features three different partnership levels from compatible to strategic.

Compatible partners bring customers meeting room solutions that have been verified for technical compatibility. The second level, certified, gives customers a range of tested and validated products. And the third level is strategic, products whose functionalities can be integrated between Barco and the partner for a greater user experience.

With the new joint partnerships announced in Logitech, Jabra, Vaddio and Yamaha, the products work seamlessly with Barco’s ClickShare Conference portfolio.

“Employees and business decision makers expect a superior conferencing experience for local and remote participants to stay engaged and productive. With Jabra conference solutions and ClickShare Conference, we are solving a critical need in the changing workplace. Everyone in the meeting – remote or present – is seen and heard, with a truly plug and play approach,” Jabra senior vice president, intelligent vision systems Aurangzeb Khan says.

“We are excited to work with Barco and pleased to offer products that are certified to work seamlessly with ClickShare Conference. Together, we are solving an important need for business users to simply start a high-quality video call when bringing their own device to the conference room and flexibly deploy any cloud video service they want without wires.”
