KORTRIJK, Belgium, September 2020 — Barco, global leader in professional meeting room visualization and collaboration solutions, is proud to announce that leading meeting room players Logitech, Jabra, Vaddio and Yamaha have joined its brand new ClickShare Alliance Program. Together with key partners Barco aims to bring better hybrid meetings, powered by the ClickShare portfolio and peripherals from alliance partners. As a result, customers can enjoy one simple, one-click wireless conferencing solutions with guaranteed compatibility for their workplace.

A perfect match for hybrid working

Dealing with the challenges that the pandemic brought on, a much needed new balance between home office and workplace resulted in hybrid ways of working and meeting (i.e. employees are partly remote and partly in-office), where video has been accepted as a natural way of collaboration. Now, as businesses embrace this new normal of hybrid ways and step-by-step return to the office, it has become clear that connecting in-room and remote participants in meetings is still far from an engaging experience. That’s why we developed ClickShare Conference, the world’s most intuitive wireless conferencing solution.

Building a collaboration and conferencing ecosystem where customers win

Combining complementary strengths with partners that have great expertise in productivity, control, peripherals or unified communications, Barco wants to build a solid ecosystem for meeting and collaboration experiences.

“At Barco we believe solid and long-lasting partnerships are key for growing businesses effectively. Having these best of breed partners onboard in our Alliance Program only underlines the market attractiveness of our ClickShare proposition. And more importantly, we are able to offer customers tested, validated and certified solutions for better hybrid meetings. Because great things happen, when partners click,” says David Fitzgerald, VP Global Alliances at Barco.

Barco’s ClickShare alliance partner program features three different partnership levels, from Compatible to Strategic. The first partnership level, Compatible, brings customers meeting room solutions that have been verified for technical compatibility. The second level, Certified, brings customers even more peace of mind, as products are tested and validated every quarter for compatibility. And at the third level, Strategic, product functionalities can be integrated between Barco and the partner, for a superior user experience. Needless to say that the different partner levels also come with distinct co-marketing and joint business development benefits for partners.

Starring our new certified partners

A customer-first approach and a high esteem for innovation are the starting points of our new joint partnerships with Logitech, Jabra, Vaddio and Yamaha. Their “best in class” selection of products have been certified to work seamlessly together with Barco’s ClickShare Conference portfolio, offering total solutions for customers that are crucial for the new ways of  collaboration in the hybrid workplace. Together we can connect both in-room and remote participants in the most simple and seamless way of wireless collaboration with the highest technological quality.
