Ultraframe Case Study

The Client

The latest communication and collaboration technologies help keep Ultraframe at the industry’s forefront, delivering unrivalled design, manufacturing and installation solutions across the UK. 

A recent group decision to upgrade their collaboration equipment saw Ultraframe call on Avoira who have helped bring various dispersed workforces much closer together on a global scale. 

Avoira recommended a StarLeaf GT Mini 3330 system which transforms any meeting room or huddle space into a complete video conferencing suite. 

Its powerful features bring together team members, customers and partners worldwide to collaborate and discuss as easily as if they were in the same room.

Business Needs

Ultraframe’s parent, Latium Enterprises Inc., recommended Avoira when, as Head of Information Systems and Programmes, Jason Hinson explained, the company “required a complete overhaul of our video conferencing experience.”

“The GT Mini 3330 provides exceptional quality high definition video and voice while guaranteeing a fully secure, encrypted,connection. It can also be used with other systems including Skype for Business which allows collaboration with anyone within the group,” he emphasised.

“Regular conference meetings have been transformed and we can also easily communicate with Latium colleagues over in America especially on R&D projects. Everyone is working much closer together in an intuitive and seamless way without always having to be sat in the same room. It’s one of the best decisions we have made in terms of return  on investment.”

The Solution

Avoira provided Ultraframe with system demonstration to highlight StarLeaf’s ease of use and powerful features. A site survey ensured the best solution was delivered in terms of lighting, acoustics, and camera angles etc. Cable routes were  also assessed to ensure all wiring  is hidden.

“Avoira also provided us with a Barco ClickShare wireless presentation system so anyone in the meeting room has the  ability to mirror their content  onto the screen.” “Users simply plug a USB-powered device – the ClickShare Button –  to their laptop, PC or MAC and at  the click of a button the content from their device is displayed. It’s fantastic.”

“There are no cables, no set-up, and no waiting to join in.  Also, content from iOS and Android-powered mobile devices can be shown directly to the screen using the specialised apps, allowing guests to also participate.”

The Benefits

Jason says the Avoira equipment has helped revolutionise communication within the Group and beyond.

Ultraframe can communicate more frequently and more effectively with clients and suppliers – delivering increased productivity whilst dramatically cutting travel costs.

He concluded: “We are now able to deliver a very professional video conference experience. There’s interaction within the business internally via StarLeaf, plus the ability to still have Skype for Business users on the call. There’s great flexibility for laptop users too with non-office-based personnel joining meetings much easier.”
