Transforming Michael Hill’s Workplace with Microsoft Teams Rooms and Conferencing Technology
Michael Hill, a well-established Australian and international jewellery brand, sought to enhance collaboration and productivity for its 280 employees at their new headquarters in Brisbane.
Goals
The main objective was to outfit their Cannon Hill office with high-quality workplace and conferencing technology. Michael Hill aimed to foster seamless communication and efficient collaboration among their teams.
Our Solution
- Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTR): We deployed large projection-based MTRs in both a divisible training room and the town hall space. These rooms facilitated efficient virtual meetings and presentations.
- Various Teams Rooms: We installed seven Teams Rooms of varied sizes, catering to diverse meeting needs. These rooms were equipped with QSC audio, AV (Audio Visual) over IP transport, Sennheiser microphones, Samsung displays, NEC projectors, and Screen Technics Screens and lifters.
- BYO Huddle Spaces: We also created multiple smaller huddle spaces for impromptu discussions.
Challenges
- Supply Chain Crisis: The global supply chain crisis at the time posed significant challenges in terms of stock availability.
- Tight Timeline: We had to meet delivery deadlines without any buffer for delays.
Outcome
Despite the challenges, we successfully delivered a fully functional workplace solution. We achieved this through leveraging our vendor relationships and engineering resources. Michael Hill was delighted with the outcome, appreciating our technical proficiency, understanding of their needs and risk management.
Next Steps
We look forward to supporting Michael Hill as they extend the project further. If your business needs workplace conferencing systems or advice on office technology, we’d love to assist!
