CLICKSHARE 3 min read
We often get questions about the price for ClickShare and how it compares to competitive presentation and conferencing solutions and more in particular to fixed UC rooms. But before we start comparing apples and oranges, let’s look at the total cost of ownership.
Collaboration is essential to make a business run like clockwork. Fortunately, businesses are absolutely not averse to investing in futureproof, agnostic room solutions and collaboration tools, like ClickShare Present or ClickShare Conference.
But we do understand that technology buyers want to scan the market and look for the best price. However, it’s clear that not all price tags are created equal. Some prices may seem attractive at first, but they do not reveal the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), which also includes things like license fees and updates.
Nobody likes surprises, at least when it comes to pricing. If you need to make a substantial investment to boost efficient collaboration in your organization, you need to know upfront what you are getting yourself into. You need to know your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Let’s have a look at what you need to consider when evaluating the TCO of a collaboration solution:
As for Barco’s ClickShare solutions for hybrid meetings, the pricing guideline is simple: what you see is what you get. In other words: the total cost of ownership is what you pay at your initial purchase and no extra additional investments are needed. What you get in return is much more than a piece of hardware and software. It’s a total package that makes management, maintenance and security of ClickShare units throughout your enterprise a breeze.
This package includes:
ClickShare essentially comes in two flavors. ClickShare Present is a wireless presentation solution that allows you to enhance collaboration and content sharing in any meeting space, even in a fixed conference room, such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams Rooms. ClickShare Present allows you to Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and make your meeting much more interactive
ClickShare Conference is a wireless conferencing solution that allows users to host video calls from their own laptop, use their own UC&C solution, and wireless connect to the meeting room display and AV peripherals. We call this Bring Your Own Meeting (BYOM). This solution also allows switching from BYOM mode to fixed room mode in fixed UC rooms.
