Case Study: Xero achieves global agile collaboration and 90% cost savings with Google Chrome (Chromebox for Meetings)

Xero Keeps Global Offices Connected And Nimble Using Chromebox For Meetings

Xero is a cloud accounting company founded in Wellington that has grown to over 1,000 employees across 15 cities and serves 400,000+ customers. Rapid expansion threatened its startup-like agility, and disparate, hard-to-set-up video conferencing systems made cross-office collaboration slow and inefficient.

Xero rolled out Chromebox for meetings—scaling from six units to nearly 100 in every meeting room—and uses it for room-to-room calls, regular global team check-ins and CEO all-hands. The solution simplified setup (no cables, minimal infrastructure), integrated with Gmail/Hangouts for easy joining and document sharing, delivered significant cost savings (about one-tenth the cost of traditional systems), and helped the company keep its nimble, innovative culture while scaling.
