Simonsen Vogt Wiig

At Filipstad Brygge, we find Simonsen Vogt Wiig's new offices. Sleek, modern, and forward-looking spaces with a view of the Oslofjord.

When SVW was moving to new premises, they chose to enter into a framework agreement with Core AV, which was to develop and deliver solutions tailored to the organization’s needs.

For Simonsen Vogt Wiig, it is important to offer quality at all levels. This also applies to their meeting room equipment, to ensure that the lawyers can stand tall in meetings and know that the equipment works when it matters. Important factors in this project have been that the equipment is of good quality and easy to use, as well as that it is possible to hold meetings on all platforms used.

The collaboration began with a thorough needs analysis, where Core AV interviewed employees from the organization with different ownership of the meeting room and presentation solutions. Based on these findings, Core AV used their methodology to match the organization’s needs and wishes with our self-developed concepts. 

Solution

SVW wanted the same good and intuitive user experience in all rooms. The composition of equipment is adapted to the different room sizes, so that everyone can see and hear each other well in all meetings. It is important for SVW that the AV equipment works every time the meeting rooms are to be used and that it is easy to start the meeting, as well as to present content.

The solutions are Cisco-based with Teams as the primary platform, but they also support Zoom, Webex, and Google Meet. All platforms are operated via a touch panel on the table. The meeting rooms are easy to book, and one can choose to bring, for example, a Teams link if it is a hybrid meeting.

A unique feature is that employees can enter the room with a meeting on their mobile phone, and the room will ask if the meeting should be transferred to the room's equipment. The same applies when leaving the room and wanting to continue the meeting on the mobile phone.

The screens in the rooms show a self-selected startup image with information about the guest network and, when the screens are not in use, a slideshow starts. The screens turn off and on automatically at designated times.  

Good overview
Outside all internal meeting rooms, meeting room panels are installed that show whether the rooms are available or in use. Employees can book meetings directly on the panel. Sensors in the room will notice if the room is in use and display this on the panel - even if the room was not booked in advance (a so-called “ad-hoc meeting”).

Onboarding
To ensure a safe and smooth transition to new meeting room solutions, onboarding sessions were held for employees. They have been shown how the solutions work in practice and have been given access to necessary information and guidance, should the need arise.

Proactive maintenance

The client has a technician available on agreed days and times, who can receive questions and at the same time do preventive work to be ahead of any problems. The technician will ensure that the users of the meeting rooms are satisfied at all times and that the equipment always works.

The key to success in the project has been good collaboration, involving employees for a good understanding of needs, and close communication with the client all the way. 

Multi-use area
In the social area, Core AV has delivered a 165” LED screen, ceiling microphones, and speakers. We have chosen solutions that facilitate the execution of meetings and live-streams with intelligent multi-camera solutions.

The screen is a clear eye-catcher in the room and serves as a decorative element when it is not in use for various gatherings for guests and employees.

We thank Simonsen Vogt Wiig for their trust and look forward to further collaboration.
