2 The History of the Meeting Room PC The concept of including some form of personal computer in a meeting room is not new. The basic use case was quite simple --- people created content while working at their desks, and they needed to present that content to others during a formal meeting in a meeting room. At that time, users wishing to present their PC content in a meeting room had the following options: Option 1 Use a Meeting Room PC Back in the day, many meeting rooms included a Windows PC. In fact, some companies included standard PCs in every one of their AV-equipped meeting rooms. In these spaces, the meeting room PC served as a content source for the large main display or installed video projector. And although the meeting room PC was a full-fledged computer able to run basically any Windows applications, it was used almost exclusively to push PowerPoint presentations onto the main screen. That was it. But using a meeting room PC to present content required the user to transfer the content onto the PC, which at that time was no easy task for several reasons: The PC was usually tucked away in the AV equipment rack in a credenza or in the back room accessible only to AV support staff. The user had to know how to log in to the PC The user had to figure out how to transfer the file onto the PC, which years ago meant using a floppy disk, a CD rom, a flash drive, a shared network drive, or figuring out how to a file to the meeting room s dedicated address. It should come as no surprise that most of the time AV or IT support had to get involved, which meant additional cost and coordination. In addition, for the IT department, managing a meeting room PC was problematic. First of all, the PC had to allow users to login and access their applications and data easily. But the PC also had to be secure enough to avoid unauthorized access to company data. In addition, meeting room PCs were used by many people, and as a result over time many programs and user profiles found their way onto the system. And compared to today, the available remote management tools were rudimentary, leaving the IT team in the dark about the real status of the PC. And worst of all, meeting room PCs typically used a different software build than the thousands of other PCs distributed throughout the company. Author s Note: Some companies tried to run collaboration software on their early meeting room PCs. In most cases, they found that the PCs of the time were not powerful enough to provide an acceptable group collaboration experience. In other cases, the collaboration software apps available at that time were either unstable or lacking in key features or capabilities Wainhouse Research Page 2
3 The net is that the option to use a standard PC in a meeting room was inconvenient and complicated for the user, frowned upon by IT, and somewhat unreliable. Option 2 Use a Laptop The second option was to use a laptop / notebook PC as the content source in the meeting room. To make this work, AV systems included VGA input cables somewhere at or near the meeting room table (see image below of a table box with various cables). This method avoided some of the pitfalls of Option 1 above and even offered a number of benefits, but was not without its own baggage. For example, if the user s laptop was used, the presentation was likely to be on the laptop already (or accessible via a shared network drive). However, back then, laptops were not standard issue for most workers due to high cost and the heavy maintenance burden. As a result, many organizations turned to shared laptops, creating a pool of portable PCs for use in meeting rooms. This, however, increased the logistical and technical burden on the already stretched and stressed AV team. Over time, as cost dropped and reliability improved, laptops became more common, such that today content sharing from a user s PC has become the de facto standard approach used in many meeting rooms. And this too worked against the concept of the permanently installed meeting room PC. The takeaway here is that the meeting room PC has had a troubled past. And frankly, when used as just a content source or a way to show PowerPoint slides on the screen, for many the cons of the meeting room PC outweighed the pros Wainhouse Research Page 3
4 The Rebirth of the Meeting Room PC In the past, meeting room PCs were just a way to open and display a user s existing content within a meeting room environment. At that time, the audio, video, and web conferencing experience was hosted by other systems (e.g. group video conferencing systems). But that was then, and this is now. In recent years, enterprises have started to understand the power and frankly the opportunities associated with the meeting room PC. This renewed interest was driven largely by IT managers who view PCs as Once the ugly duckling of the AV world, meeting room PCs are seeing a resurgence within small, medium, and large enterprises seeking a cost-effective and flexible way to collaboration-enable their conference rooms. more than just a way to show a presentation. These folks see the meeting room PC as an affordable, reliable, and flexible engine for hosting interactive conferencing and collaboration sessions. Today there are two common approaches for hosting meeting room conferencing using a dedicated, purpose-built device, or using a meeting room PC. The table below highlights the differences between these two options: Area Dedicated Collaboration Device Meeting Room PC Form Factor Conferencing Accessories (camera, mic, etc.) Typical Functions Supported User Interface User Experience Reliability Flexibility (ability to support multiple functions) Dedicated appliance (or PC configured to act like an appliance) 1 Typically included in the package Group video conferencing Wireless presentation Typically solution specific Typically very strong Typically very high None device supports only a pre-defined set of functions and capabilities PC (desktop or mini) Typically must be purchased separately Broad range of functions that depends on the application(s) in use Typically the standard operating system (e.g. Windows) user interface or some variant Ranges from acceptable to very strong (depends on PC and app in use) Ranges from acceptable to very strong (depends on PC and app in use) Very Strong functionality depends on software app in use, and user / IT admin can easily load additional apps. E.g. Adding Skype for Business TM (SfB) support requires only the installation of the SfB client. Cost Relatively expensive Relatively inexpensive The takeaway here is that meeting room PCs are no longer the ugly duckling of the AV meeting room. Today s meeting room PCs offer a compelling combination of flexibility and low cost, and this has prompted many organizations to change their stance on the meeting room PC. This is especially true in small meeting rooms (huddle rooms) where cost effectiveness and flexibility are primary requirements. 1 A PC-based appliance automatically loads a specific program when powered up, and does not allow the user to access other programs or the underlying operating system. Essentially, this PC acts like a single-purpose device or kiosk Wainhouse Research Page 4
5 Solution Spotlight The sponsors of this study, HP and Intel, have recently announced a meeting room PC solution called Elite Slice for Meeting Rooms 2 (Slice). But make no mistake Slice is not your grandfather s meeting room PC, and it is far too sexy to be hidden in a credenza or equipment rack. Elite Slice for Meeting Rooms is a mini-pc with an attractive look and feel designed for placement in plain sight (e.g. in the middle of the table, on top of a credenza) in a meeting room. Slice is optimized for use in small (e.g. huddle) and medium meeting rooms hosting informal, collaborative sessions. Slice provides three key benefits designed to enhance the workflow, user experience, and security of group conferencing. One-Touch Conferencing Slice provides convenient, capacitive touch controls on the top cover that allow users to start and end Skype for Business (SfB) calls, adjust volume levels, and mute the microphones quickly and easily. LED indicators provide visible confirmation of connection and mute status. Slice lets you control your SfB calls without opening your notebook or using an external keyboard, mouse, or control panel. 2 HP Slice for Meetings includes HP Slice with Intel Unite software, HP Collaboration Cover and HP Audio Module. Other modules are sold separately Wainhouse Research Page 5
6 Integrated Audio The HP Audio Module, developed in partnership with Bang and Olufsen (B&O), includes a dual-microphone array with 5-meter range. Audio performance is optimized thanks to HP Audio Boost and HP Noise Cancellation capabilities. Slice eliminates the need for external mics and speakers (and associated cabling to an external audio system). Business Level Performance Slice is a fully functional PC powered by a 6 th generation Intel Core i5 or i7 Series processor and running Windows 10 Professional. The integrated VPro system provides remote management support for IT administrators. To simplify system installation and the meeting room collaboration experience, Slice for Meeting Rooms includes the Intel Unite platform pre-loaded with key business applications including Skype for Business. The Intel Unite wireless presentation capability allows notebook users to share content on the meeting room display with just a few clicks. And unlike fixed (appliance) solutions with pre-defined capabilities, Slice will gain new functionality over time as new Intel Unite plug-ins become available. And Slice is protected by HP Sure Start with Dynamic Protection which monitors and corrects BIOS corruption in real time. The combination of a powerful mini-pc, integrated high quality audio, Skype for Business controls, and IT-friendly management and security features makes HP Elite Slice for Meeting Rooms stand out against standard meeting room PC Wainhouse Research Page 6
7 Conclusion The enterprise meeting room environment is in a period of transition. Once dominated by large, expensive, formal meeting spaces, enterprises now see the importance of supporting collaboration in many large, medium, and small meeting rooms within their environment. Many savvy organizations are seeking to leverage software-based conferencing tools within their meeting rooms, which is driving increased demand for meeting room PCs. To address these needs, the sponsors of this study, HP and Intel, created Elite Slice for Meeting Rooms - a powerful, AV-friendly, and centrally manageable mini-pc solution designed for prominent placement within any meeting room. Slice for Meeting Rooms sleek design and advanced features (e.g. on-device call control, integrated wireless presentation, integrated audio, etc.) makes it extremely well suited for organizations seeking a fast and easy way to collaboration-enable small to medium conference rooms. WR expects meeting room PC deployments to grow significantly in the next few years, and solutions like HP Slice for Meeting Rooms is likely to play a key role in that evolution.
