Zoom helps launch video conferencing hardware startup Neat

▤ Summary

Zoom needs tightly integrated hardware to compete with Cisco, which offers all-in-one video systems designed to work with Webex Meetings. He spearheaded the development of the Cisco Spark cloud messaging platform before it merged with the companys Webex online meeting product. Neat will sell and ship Zoom devices directly to customers, rather than relying on resellers as most other enterprise hardware vendors do. Poly showcased an all-in-one video bar for small and midsize conference rooms, while DTEN launched two touchscreen collaboration boards. "Its an exciting time to be part of the video conferencing industry," said Tim Root, Polys vice president of products, in a statement following the launch of Neat.
