Frequently Asked Questions
▶ What does a typical extended warranty contract for conference technology include? Typical services: (1) Advance replacement (replacement device within 1–3 working days before defective device is returned). (2) Software maintenance (firmware updates, security patches). (3) Telephone support (business hours or 24/7). (4) Warranty extension (typically 2+1 or 2+3 years). Costs: 10–20% of new device price per year. |
▶ Is a service contract worthwhile for conference technology? Yes – for business-critical rooms (>10 meetings/week). Calculation: costs of a meeting outage (employee time + missed deal) vs. service contract costs. One day of conference room outage can easily cost 1,000–5,000 EUR. For occasionally used rooms (<5 meetings/week): advance replacement policy (replacement device in stock) can be more economical. |
▶ What is fleet management for video conferencing technology? Fleet management (e.g. Logitech Sync, Poly Lens, Yealink Device Management) is a cloud platform for central management of all conference room systems: remotely roll out firmware updates, monitor device status (online/offline, error code), room usage statistics (utilisation, meeting duration) and alerting on failures. Licence: typically 2–10 EUR/device/month. |
