Ashurst in Frankfurt: Efficient solutions for hybrid meetings

Initial situation: The demands of the modern working world

Ashurst LLP, a renowned international law firm with offices in Frankfurt and Munich, faced the challenge of adapting its conference rooms to the needs of modern, hybrid meetings. The existing space was not optimally designed for seamless collaboration between on-site and remote teams, leading to frustration and inefficiencies. It was clear that a comprehensive technology refresh was needed to meet increasing demands and improve communication.

The planning required a solution that not only met Ashurst’s high standards, but was also easy to use and reliable. The existing infrastructure was reaching its limits and the need for a flexible and scalable solution was becoming increasingly urgent.

Cooperation and analysis: FORTÉ as a competent partner

In this situation, Ashurst turned to FORTÉ Germany GmbH to develop a customized solution. Due to previous successful projects, a trusting relationship already existed, which paved the way for an effective collaboration. FORTÉ was involved in the planning phase at an early stage, which made it possible to analyze Ashurst’s specific requirements in detail.

Together with Ashurst’s IT and facility teams, the existing systems were examined and weaknesses identified. This thorough analysis was key to laying the foundations for a successful implementation and ensuring that all relevant aspects were taken into account.

Technical implementation: Tailor-made solutions for maximum efficiency

With a clear understanding of the requirements, FORTÉ developed a bespoke solution around the Crestron UC Flex platform. This platform proved to be the ideal choice due to its flexibility and ability to seamlessly integrate Microsoft Teams Rooms and BYOD solutions. The intuitive room control ensures that the user experience is simple and seamless.

In addition, LG displays and biamp audio systems were implemented to ensure excellent audio and video quality. This targeted use of state-of-the-art technology has provided a future-proof and scalable solution that not only meets current needs, but is also equipped for future requirements.

Results and impact: An improved working environment

The introduction of the new systems has led to a significant improvement in efficiency in Ashurst’s conference rooms. The user-friendly interface makes it easier to manage meetings and significantly reduces technical disruptions. Employees can now focus on the essential content of their meetings, while guests experience a modern and technologically advanced environment.

The solution exceeded Ashurst’s expectations by redefining the efficiency of meetings and strengthening the firm’s competitiveness. This successful implementation is an impressive example of how customized technology solutions can sustainably improve the working environment and efficiency.
