OVERVIEW

Community Living Essex County is a non-profit, charitable organization that supports people with intellectual disabilities and their families in southwestern Ontario, Canada. The combination of Logitech GROUP, SmartDock with Surface Pro, and Skype for Business—each with amazing quality, clarity, and reliability—facilitates and enhances the organization’s face-to-face video conferencing, information sharing, clinical treatment consultations with physicians, and remote support for clients receiving services in their home, workplace, or community.

CHALLENGE

Community Living Essex County was looking to modernize its business practices to include the ability to collaborate with others through video conferencing. Initially, the organization decided to install three complete in-room systems that were easy to use and offered outstanding audio and video quality.

SOLUTION

Logitech GROUP, a video conferencing solution for mid- to large-sized meeting rooms that’s as simple to use as a mobile phone and as affordable as an office chair, serves as the backbone of a turnkey system that includes the Logitech SmartDock control console bundled with Surface Pro.

Together, Logitech GROUP and SmartDock with Surface Pro enable users to enter a conference room and start a Skype for Business meeting with a single click. Community Living Essex County now enjoys exceptional quality audio and video, massive cost savings, and the ability to creatively expand its support services.

LOGITECH SMARTDOCK

“We’ve done some studies to determine how much we’re able to save by moving to video conferencing for meetings. For an average meeting of one hour with eight managers attending, we’re saving about $500. When you look at those savings over the course of a year against the cost of our investment in Logitech video conferencing equipment, we’re quite happy with our return on investment.”
