Welcome to the new decade! As with any new year, we all have the opportunity to redefine ourselves. Maybe you will become a yogi or a world traveler or a coder, the possibilities are endless. Just like you, here at Dell, we are working to redefine how our customers work and with Dell + Intel Unite® solution, we are proud to give them a solution that will redefine user-friendly meeting spaces.
With Dell + Intel Unite® software on OptiPlex 7070 Ultra, we are combining the flexibility of choice our customers love from the Ultra with the breadth of business plugins and UCC applications available on Intel Unite solution, to deliver an innovative work experience built for a new decade.
Meetings are an everyday part of our customer’s lives. From large enterprises to small learning spaces meetings to the healthcare industry, meetings are a must, but Forrester recently found that over 82 percent of IT decision-makers cite integration challenges with their meetings tools[1]. This can leave customers feeling frustrated, meetings delayed and productivity severely limited. With Intel Unite collaboration solution, we are bringing a better user interface and extended IT features to our customers. From allowing meetings to begin faster via PIN, a meeting link, ultrasonic meeting join, or badge scan access to the ability for attendees to switch presenters instantly, share high-quality images, audio and video, or feature up to 4 simultaneous presenters per monitor, all with real-time annotations, this solution works as hard as you do.
We are proud to introduce this breakthrough collaboration solution, with the new OptiPlex 7070 Ultra driving Intel Unite collaboration software. This allows users to experience an all new way to meet with a powerful and secure collaboration solution.
Available to customers now, Intel Unite® 4.0 offers several new features, including:
- Native Touch and Touch Back: Users can control the Intel Unite® App from a touch display and access plugins from a meeting room display. They can also control Windows 10 devices from the front of the room.
- Refreshed User Interface: Intel Unite® solution has updated its look and feel and is now touch-enabled. Users can:
