We noticed that people

lost 10 minutes, at the

start of each meeting,

to get their technical

equipment right.

ClickShare is an easy-

to-use solution that

perfectly helps overcome

these problems

The new headquarters of French telecommunications expert SFR is an ambitious

real estate project, carried out in two phases. While the ﬁrst employees moved

into the new building in November 2013, the rest of the campus is set to open in

2015, thus enabling 90% of the French SFR team to work together under one roof.

To understand the audiovisual needs of these employees and draft a technical

tender, SFR contracted Atelier Audiovisuel. One key conclusion: SFR people

and visitors often can’t meet efﬁciently due to technical compatibility issues.

The solution: Barco’s ClickShare presentation system. In addition, the SFR home

features Barco projectors and Barco video walls (rear projection and LED).

Always a pioneer when it comes to

introducing innovative technology,

SFR insisted on its headquarters being

fully automated and controlled mainly

by smartphones – a ﬁrst in Europe.

Every SFR employee has an Android

smartphone, which (s)he uses as a

smart key and to control the heating,

the blinds, etc. The new Barco AV

equipment perfectly ﬁts that hi-tech

approach.

Thanks to the ease of

sharing information

on the central screen

of the meeting room,

all the participants are

actively involved. This has

improved decision-making

during meetings and

collaboration sessions

Real Estate Manager & Corporate Supplier Michel Moussa was the one who, together

with Atelier Audiovisuel, introduced Barco’s ClickShare solution. His requirements

for the new meeting room presentation system had been straightforward: he

absolutely wanted a simple concept that would make the life of the employees

easier and, consequently, help them save time. The solution had to be advanced

and innovative and allow anyone – SFR people and visitors, Windows and Mac

users – to put their content on the screen with ease.

Barco met all of these criteria. VIDELIO-IEC, the AV integrator in charge of the

project, delivered 270 CSM-1 ClickShare units for the conference center and ﬁve

CSC-1 units for the boardrooms.

Barco’s broad product offering

Besides ClickShare, SFR also chose several other products from Barco’s broad AV

offering. The conference rooms, for example, also feature Barco’s RLM-W12, RLM-W6

and HDX-W14 projectors, which display ultra-bright images during conferences and

events. The 275-seat auditorium is equipped with a Barco 3D projector, which is

used for pre-première screenings. Last but not least, SFR installed two Barco video

walls. A video wall consisting of 40 OLF-521 rear-projection cubes and three ECU-

100 controllers were set up in the SFR control room, where the telecoms network is

monitored. In addition, the SFR lobby features an 11 m

C5 LED display with a unique

corner conﬁguration. The bright C5 LED tiles are mounted with 90-degree corner

joints to form a giant, seamless video screen.

Clear customer beneﬁts

SFR is a satisﬁed customer. The projectors and video walls are doing a great job.

And every single SFR employee loves ClickShare. Barco’s wireless system allows

them to easily put content (videos, PowerPoint presentations, PDFs, etc.) on the

wall during meetings, via their laptops or via their smartphones, which feature

the free ClickShare apps. Moussa: “Everyone was won over by ClickShare, as they

immediately experienced that the system helps them save time while fostering

meeting productivity. Moreover, the ease of sharing information on the central

meeting-room screen ensures that everyone is actively involved in the meetings,

which surely enhances decision-making.”
