BUILDING THE MEETING ROOM FOR THE FUTURE, WHICH INCIDENTALLY IS NOW

The demands of the office space has changed dramatically over the past years, where organisations regardless of size, now have to think about engaging with people internally and externally, without the need for in-person collaboration.

We live in a hybrid world, where stake holders can communicate using a variety of platforms to communicate remotely, as well as utilise their office spaces in a whole new way. The difference is now that online meetings, are quicker, more task & action orientated, and more efficient. Whereas, the

in-personal collaboration is now more meaningful, enlightening, open-minded and creative. As many organisations think about how they will meet the demands of this brave new world, iiyama and Stone can help piece together this Jigsaw. It may feel like a mine-field, but simplicity and user friendly devices

are the core of the iiyama philosophy. After all, an over complex meeting room with a spaghetti junction of cables trailing around the table puts users off. iiyama offers a superb range of Large Format displays and Unified Communications devices to set you on the path to meeting room proficiency.

IIYAMA UNIFIED COMMUNICATIONS

Coupled with iiyama monitors, the iiyama webcams and speakers allow IT and AV companies to provide a complete solution package to their clients; guaranteeing an in-person meeting experience.

UC SPK01L

The omnidirectional audio pickup from up to 5 meters with intelligent noise reduction and echo cancellation algorithms .

SIMPLIFY YOUR WORKSPACE WITH THE USB-C DOCK AND KWM-SWITCH

USB-C is fast becoming a de facto standard for many laptop devices, as it provides a universal connection protocol enabling Video & Audio, Data & Network Transfer and Power delivery through a single cable.

The USB-C dock allows you to connect your laptop with a single cable to the monitor to make sure it is both charged and connected to a wired network and a signal is sent from the laptop to the monitor. Monitors with a KVM-Switch allows you to share the devices connected via USB to your monitor with two different PCs. Simply change the signal input in the OSD menu of the monitor and your keyboard, mouse and webcam will switch from your work laptop to your gaming PC.

IT Scale is Stone’s Tech-as-a-Service (TaaS) offering, providing organisations with a smart way to build a bespoke IT infrastructure that can scale up or down depending on your changing business conditions or operational needs.

It’s an affordable and scalable approach to IT asset management, allowing you to keep your devices or infrastructure services for as long as you like, with the ability to upgrade them as needed or return them at any point if they no longer in use.

Our monthly subscription cost scales as you expand or reduce your device or infrastructure requirements. There are no three-year budget peaks for upgrades, as IT Scale allows organisations to refresh as they need to.

Device as a Service - Model Benefits

Stone has several “as a service” offerings, including Device as a Service, so organisations can keep investing in hardware while mitigating risk. As we continue to face economic uncertainty, transitioning to a service-based model means you can eliminate any initial hardware investments from your IT budgets. Instead, end-user hardware updates are easy to forecast and you

can give your teams the tech they need at a lower, more manageable cost. Removing IT ownership also means that organisations no longer need to worry about lifecycle management and the depreciation of assets. And when upgrades are required, the costs are covered, and you can simply give back the equipment you no longer need. Stone Group is in a unique position to

most other ICT resellers as we have our own onsite, fully accredited IT asset disposal facility, meaning when customers have finished with their devices, we take them back, refurbish them and give them a second life where possible. These refurbished models are then either resold or can be offered to other IT Scale customers with limited IT budgets.

Model Benefits

Flexible all-inclusive device subscription service that allows customers to respond quickly to changing demands of their IT environments.

Highly cost effective service models

Scale up or scale down contract flexibility (need more devices? Add them. Too many? We’ll take them away) after 6 or 12 month minimum period.

Secure disposal, recycling and data destruction included upon the return of the device.

Weekly or Monthly automated utilisation reporting.

“Direct Support” – Device hardware support via phone or email.

find the right solution.

Our extensive range of servers and storage solutions is designed to be as flexible and customisable as possible, so you can get the technology that’s best for your organisation at the right price. Whether it’s something as

066 Monitors

Organisations build and drive productivity through a number of different methods - but it’s incredible how often monitors are overlooked when it comes to their impact on everyday working life.

Studies state that users working on larger, higher resolution monitors work faster and more efficiently than those using smaller format, low spec

screens. Better quality and wider viewing angles reduce eye strain and offer more visual space to see and comprehend data. Essentially, being able to view more at once on a quality screen allows people to gain deeper insights and absorb more information, enabling them to produce better and more focused work, more effectively. So whether you need gaming, curved,

ultra high definition or standard business monitors, we can provide a vast range from leading brands such as Iiyama, Philips, Hannspree, Eizo and HP. With all the latest features such as USB-C, height adjust and energy efficient, we have a displays portfolio that will give you the most productive and environmentally friendly workforce.
