Evoko Continued

Grant's Perspective on ... the Evoko meeting room booking system.

Last week, I posted on the Evoko and focused on the fact that no training is required for people that currently use Microsoft Outlook. Here are four additional features to look at:

1. It's a POE (Power Over Ethernet) device. On a POE enabled LAN, no AC power would be required at the Room Manager panels,

2. No software needs to be installed,

3. Service alerts for any malfunctioning AV equipment in the room can be sent right from the Evoko Room Manager's touch panel,

4. Instant meetings can be booked right on the panel, and meetings can be extended or  ended right from the panel.

Evoko Meeting Room Booking Device

Grant's Perspective on ... the new Evoko meeting room booking device that becomes a user on a Microsoft Exchange server.

One of the  manufacturer's at the Inland AV Driving Technology show had the new Evoko on display. The Evoko makes booking meeting rooms easy. While there are a number of great features I really liked the idea that it is set up as a user on a Microsoft Exchange server. Most people who use Outlook know how to invite people to a meeting. Now you just invite the "room" to the meeting just like you currently invite the meeting attendees.

The photo below shows the touch-screen that is installed outside the meeting room. You can use the touch-screen to check the rooms availability and the green illumination lets you know if the room is in use or not.

The Evoko is a simple solution that should be easy for everyone in an organization to use.

There are many good features that I can cover in a future post.
