ESC's new HQ is ready for tomorrow's technology

Since its founding in 1999, the Belgian company ESC has grown into a well-known total solution provider in the ICT sector. At the end of January, their 260 IT experts moved to the new headquarters in Sint-Denijs-Westrem. Play AV was given the opportunity to make this new, modern workplace meet the latest requirements of hybrid working.

A new era with hybrid working

The digital acceleration brought about by corona has brought us into a new era of working.

CEO Benny Van Hyfte is happy to tell us his views on this:
"In the ICT sector, it is an absolute necessity to be innovative. This includes having our own systems keep up with today's technology, and be ready for tomorrow's technology.

Today, employees come to the office to work together, but hybrid working has rightly claimed its place. It used to be normal to come together physically for a meeting, but today a lot of activities happen remotely. However, you expect the same experience as a physical meeting and therefore a quality infrastructure is necessary."

Solutions with innovative technology

Several Logitech Rally solutions, Samsung displays and Epson projection were chosen in this project.

The Rally solutions are compact, but deliver a good experience both in sound and vision. This solution also incorporated innovative technology. Another plus to this solution is its expandability. For example, additional microphones, cameras, etc. can be added for an even better experience.

Teams is more than just chat and video conferencing

Online conferencing is here to stay. Microsoft previously told us that Teams has more than 270 million monthly active users. Where 2 hours used to be set aside for a meeting, we now count at most one hour. Besides saving time, a digital meeting also reduces your carbon footprint.

ESC has been integrating this Teams solution for corona at its customers for quite some time. ICT expert ESC tells us that the power of this application is much greater than just chat and videoconferencing solutions. You can link this solution perfectly with other business applications and integrate it with your telephony.

"I would love to find an example of a type of meeting that we never organize through Teams, but I'm going to have to disappoint you. I can't find a single example of a meeting we don't hold via video conferencing." CEO ESC Benny Van Hyfte tells us.

A new, fun dynamic at ESC

ESC employees had been looking forward to the new meeting facilities for some time. In fact, Benny tells us more: "We are even finding that employees are coming to the office to hold Teams meetings with clients, where previously people would call in individually. The experience and collaboration involved make for a very fun dynamic in the organization."

A high level of customer service at Play AV

ESC and Play AV have been partners for 10 years. That partnership works both ways. But why does ESC enjoy doing business with us so much? ESC already told us a few words of praise: "There is a very high customer-friendliness and they think along with us to work out a correct solution. We would definitely use Play AV again for future projects."
