Case Study: UmbraGroup achieves seamless global hybrid meetings with Barco ClickShare Conference

Umbra Group conceives global strategy for hybrid meetings as employees return to the office

UmbraGroup, an aerospace and defense manufacturer with global offices, faced a significant challenge with an unreliable and difficult-to-use video conferencing system that hindered collaboration between its US and Italian teams. The company needed a secure, agnostic solution that was easy for employees to operate. They turned to vendor Barco to address this critical communication problem.

Barco implemented its ClickShare Conference solution, a wireless BYOM (Bring Your Own Meeting) system that seamlessly integrates with various conference software like Zoom and Microsoft Teams. The results were flawless performance with zero complaints, a cost reduction of about two-thirds compared to the previous system, and a notable improvement in cross-divisional collaboration and communication. Barco provided the perfect tool for the company's hybrid work model during the pandemic.
