62 Modern businesses need meeting spaces where everyone – in-person and remote – can participate equally. So, when SAP Finland wanted to create a new boardroom and event space, an intuitive content and collaboration system was essential. SAP is a global innovator in enterprise applications and business AI. Its Finland headquarters previously relied on traditional meeting rooms for everything from routine discussions to high-stakes conversations. Meanwhile, formal events required the company to partner with external venues. SAP Finland was eager to enhance its workplace experience and expand its capabilities. It launched a project to create two new meeting spaces: a purpose-built boardroom for executive meetings and a versatile multi-purpose event room for larger gatherings. With no prior blueprint for either type of space, the team had a blank canvas to design a premium, futureready collaboration environment powered by the latest and most efficient technologies. SAP Finland turned to long-standing partner, Ictum, to drive this transformation. With more than 20 years of audiovisual (AV) and videoconferencing expertise, the company was a natural fit for the project. Early demonstrations had already given SAP Finland confidence in the Crestron platform. Building on that, it further recognised that Crestron’s reliability in mission-critical environments made its content, collaboration and control solutions ideal for supporting its new spaces. “Crestron stood out for its proven reliability and ease of maintenance, but equally important was our team’s deep experience with the platform,” says Tomi Aarne, executive partner at Ictum. “We knew we could trust Crestron to support the high-calibre collaboration we envisioned for these new spaces.” Two spaces were central to the project: a high-profile boardroom for executive meetings and a multi-purpose event room designed to host everything from presentations to cocktail receptions. Both spaces were outfitted with Crestron intelligent video solutions, including multi-camera systems powered by 1 Beyond intelligent video solutions, Crestron Flex for Microsoft Teams Rooms, and DM NVX AV-over-IP technology to power an immersive and natural multi-camera experience. Beyond these key rooms, the project also introduced Enterprise application innovator SAP Finland builds future-ready meeting spaces with Crestron CASE STUDY: SAP FINLAND Bringing people together
