The challenge: hybrid meetings without friction

At Bechtle France, reliable hybrid collaboration is essential. The company regularly welcomes external guests for training sessions and partner meetings, often involving a mix of both in-person and remote participants.

Before ClickShare, meeting rooms were equipped with a traditional, cable-based setup that required users to connect via different ports and adapters. This made it difficult for employees and guests to quickly connect, share content, and start video calls. Meetings were often delayed, and the experience varied from room to room. As a result, Bechtle sought to bring greater consistency to its meeting spaces, ensuring every room offers the same straightforward way to collaborate.

Simple and inclusive hybrid meetings

As an IT distributor with experience delivering conference room projects for its customers, Bechtle France knows first-hand how important simplicity and security are in hybrid collaboration. This expertise makes their choice to adopt ClickShare especially meaningful.

Teams at Bechtle collaborate with a wide range of partners, each using different videoconferencing tools. This means meeting invites often arrive via various platforms such as Zoom, Teams, and Cisco Webex. With ClickShare, hybrid meetings start in seconds regardless of the platform. Employees simply walk into a room, plug in the Button, and start collaborating. Video calls launch effortlessly, delivering a consistent and hassle-free experience.

“Now it’s effortless. You enter the room, connect the ClickShare Button to your laptop, press it, and your screen and video call are immediately up,” says Audrey Clement, marketing operations team lead at Bechtle France.

To ensure equal participation for both in-room and remote attendees, Bechtle France relies on ClickShare’s ConferenceView feature, where remote participants and shared content are shown side by side, keeping everyone part of the conversation. ClickShare CX-50 2nd gen’s dual-display support further enhances meeting equity by separating participants and content across screens. And with TouchBack functionality users can control their laptop directly from the room’s touchscreen display, boosting interactivity.

Simplified management for IT with XMS Cloud

Beyond delivering an intuitive experience for end-users, ClickShare simplifies things for Bechtle’s IT team. With the XMS Cloud management platform, IT staff can monitor and manage all ClickShare devices centrally, troubleshoot remotely, and roll out updates with just a few clicks. In addition, installation is straightforward, integration into existing environments is seamless, and the solution scales easily as needs evolve:

“It’s really easy to install, and it also makes for cleaner rooms that allow us to host external people in spaces that breathe, looking clean without cables running in every direction,” explains Audrey Clement.

Effortless meetings, for everyone

By standardizing its meeting rooms with ClickShare, Bechtle France creates a seamless and inclusive hybrid meeting experience for both employees and guests. The solution enables truly equitable video calls, ensuring no one feels left out, while also making IT’s life easier. By choosing ClickShare for its own offices, Bechtle France demonstrates the same commitment to simplicity and reliability that it delivers to its customers every day.
