How work gets done is changing. Enable people to collaborate naturally, from anywhere Adam Jacobs | Principal Microsoft Architect

• Work within the Polycom CTO team • Specifically focused on voice and video solutions that integrate with Skype for Business and Microsoft Teams • Used to live in London, UK and moved to San Francisco Bay Area almost five years ago – although my heart is still in London! • I’m a Skype for Business MVP, co-lead various UC user groups, speak and geek out around unified intelligent communications

Including Equipment in Scheduled meetings ▪ Scheduling mechanisms often require additional software ▪ Endpoints equipment (location & VTC model) may not be known by organizer ▪ Many room systems do not support native Outlook scheduling Meeting Join ▪ May require deployment of client-side plug-ins ▪ Many VTC models have no keyboard – painful to type long dial-in strings In Meeting ▪ Majority of existing solutions require “meet on the bridge” – not native Skype for Business MCU and integrated roster ▪ Many interop solutions fail to show shared content correctly or to all participants
