Poly and Insight Win IDC European Future of Work Award

July 02, 2020

Poly enabled modern offices of Insight, Germany, boost activity-based work, employee satisfaction, business productivity and collaboration with the remote workforce 

MUNICH, Germany, July 2, 2020 – Plantronics, Inc. (“Poly” – formerly Plantronics and Polycom) (NYSE: PLT), a global communications company that powers meaningful human connection and collaboration, and Insight, a Fortune 500-ranked global provider of intelligent technology solutions and services, have been named winners of the Future of Workspace category in the inaugural IDC European Future of Work Awards

Insight’s innovative Modern Office scheme, designed for its German offices in Frankfurt and Munich in collaboration with solution provider Poly, was recognised for creating productive working environments for Insight employees to connect, collaborate and socialise. 

The newly-designed offices feature a mix of hot desking, lounge, quiet zones and relaxation areas, provisioned with Poly enterprise solutions for seamless collaboration with colleagues and customers, no matter their location.

Insight have selected the Poly Savi 8200 Office and UC Series headsets, which come with active noise cancelling (ANC) to ensure Insight’s employees don’t lose any productivity from distractions in the new open-office environment. With unique close conversation limiting, everyone on a call hears only the person talking into the headset — without the interfering background noise from neighbouring co-workers.

The Poly Voyager 5200 UC headsets are also used for Insight’s "corridor warriors" who prefer — or need — to walk and talk while on a call. With four adaptive microphones, voices are crystal clear to everyone listening and the discreet wearing style and ergonomic earpiece make them easy to wear throughout the day.

Using Plantronics Manager Pro, from Poly, Insight’s IT managers also have control, with the ability to remotely manage the Savi 8200 and Voyager 5200 UC headsets via this software as a service solution.

“When working in a busy office, there is always the challenge of staying ‘in the zone’, so choosing the best technology to enable optimum productivity, focus and collaboration for Insight’s employees was key,” said Paul Clark, senior vice president, EMEA managing director, Poly. “Having practiced smart working for several decades at Poly, we are ideally placed to share our knowledge and experiences with organisations like Insight to ensure they can create collaborative, productive office environments that complement work from home strategies.” 

"As a provider of advanced IT solutions, we know the power of technology in driving new ways of working and building business resilience,” said Birgit Köther, facility manager and project leader for the Modern Office Project, Insight. “By adopting an even smarter working approach, we are leading by example and inspiring a raft of clients to make their own changes to boost flexibility and work-life integration. Our goal at Insight is to make meaningful connections that positively impact the lives of our clients, partners and teammates. Poly has been a valuable partner and advisor in ensuring our Modern Office scheme delivers on that goal, working closely with us throughout the planning and implementation process to ensure success.”

“Insight’s innovative Modern Office initiative, supported by Poly, really shows that European organisations are going above and beyond in their quest to make the workplace better for employees and make organisations work more efficiently,” said Jan Alexa, research manager, IDC European Future of Work Practice.
