With fast-faced, international business operations, frequent web conferences are essential. Originally, the company used a speakerphone with a built-in 360° camera from another company, but they were not satisfied with both the sound and image quality. Mr. Niitsu, the company's office manager comments "With the previous system, you have to bring the PC to the conference room and connect it to the speakerphone, so it took 3~5 minutes to start each meeting, which is a huge waste of time. In addition, the system struggled to pick up everyone’s voice which often adversely affected communication." An office relocation proved the perfect time to consider new video conferencing solutions. Mr. Ohno, the distributor of Eizo System Co. Ltd commented after the seamless implementation “There’s no complicated wiring and the tabletop looks very neat with no wiring cluttering things up.”
