Synergy SKY allows all SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) based endpoints to connect to Microsoft Teams meetings. Synergy SKY has developed a new patented solution for interoperability between video conferencing platforms.
The scope of the Synergy SKY technology leverages years of multivendor expertise to ensure a transparent and consistent user experience, no matter the SIP endpoint type or age, when joining a Microsoft Teams meeting.
Join every meetingBook the meeting as you normally would in your email client, and simply invite the video alias to the meeting. In a few seconds, the green join-button will appear for all meeting participants (including on endpoints for individuals and meeting rooms), and you can join the meeting in one click, regardless of the vendor you or the participants are using.
E.g. One-Click dial from Cisco and Poly into Teams meetings
Why are one-touch meetings important?
The average time it takes to start a meeting is 12 minutes. Dial-in issues is a common struggle, especially when in mixed vendor environments and external meetings. These delays eats up valuable meeting time and creates pressure on the IT help desks, which eventually becomes costly for the company and the employees.
Automatic release of no-show roomsThe Synergy SKY management suite enables IoT sensor technology in Cisco Room Series or separate Synergy Sensors, to automatically release booked rooms when no one shows up for the meeting. This often happens when the participant(s) decide to conduct the meeting from their desk, from home, or a different remote location.
The virtual meeting remains untouched.
Why is the automatic release of no-show rooms important?
No-show meetings are costly for the company, as it gives the illusion of having insufficient meeting space when in fact the rooms are left empty.
Book ad-hoc Teams meetings directly from the meeting room on your Cisco Touchpad and invite participants directly from the directory. Join the meeting immediately with one click.
Meeting insights
Helps organizations understand collaboration trends and patterns. It provides the analysis needed to make fact-based decisions on collaboration investments, divestments, training and service changes. Analytics data contributes to an increased ROI for collaboration, and in addition, provides clear evidence and key insight to stakeholders. Get reports like:
- Meeting platform reports
- Meeting room and video conferencing / UC utilization
- Meeting trends and RoI
- Meeting tools usage
- Meeting room cost efficiency
...And much more.
The software serves IT and facility departments with insights that can be leveraged to optimize resources and cut costs where rooms and UC investments are used in little to no degree.
Why are meeting insights important?
Improving efficiency and saving cost always begins with measuring and analyzing data to get the insight needed to make further decisions – simple as that.
End of meeting alerts
Ending a meeting on time is just as important as starting on time. With end of meeting alerts, all participants in the video conference will be notified when the meeting is coming to an end, and when the meeting is running overtime.
Why are end of meeting alerts important?
When a meeting runs over time it can affect participants' future meetings and tasks, and result in participants missing out on important information. Sticking to the agenda and upholding meeting times is important for efficiency and saving time.

... And much more
Why is control of company meetings important?
With a control panel for all meetings you get the overview, insight and technical features needed in order to save time and cost on your company meetings. You can also use control to gain insight in to meeting habits to take action where needed in order to improve efficiency.
People count Count the number of participants attending the meeting with the help of the Synergy SKY management suite IoT sensor.
Why is people count important?
One common scenario we find is that employees use big meeting rooms for only 2 or 3 participants. Based on the information provided by people count, they can then more efficiently leverage the rooms.
No-show detection and With the Synergy SKY management suite IoT sensor technology, the meeting organizer can get notified if the meeting room is empty and will be given the option to hold or release the room.
Why are no-show detections and e-mail alerts important?
No-show meetings are costly for the company, as it gives the illusion of not having insufficient meeting space when in fact the rooms are left empty. With an email alert, the meeting organizer is in control and can decide whether the room should remain booked or released for others to use.
