The Situation
Cenero began working with Holman (formerly ARI Fleet Management) in 2012, helping to upgrade collaboration spaces at their Mount Laurel, NJ headquarters (4001 building). Over the years, the partnership expanded to include a wide range of services. Most recently, Holman sought to rejuvenate their post-COVID, in-office experience across their corporate campus with a focus on enhancing collaboration through advanced meeting room technology.
The first step was to renovate the 3001 building. Holman outlined several key goals for the project, including a user-friendly system with one-touch meeting joins, seamless Zoom integration along with support for alternative platforms, consistent user experiences across rooms and excellent audio/video quality. Additionally, the system needed to be cost-effective, modular and scalable, with flexibility for a future transition to Microsoft Teams. Holman also required collaboration with project management and IT teams to ensure smooth integration, training, and support.
The Solution
Cenero recommended an Android-based Zoom room system which provided the desired performance and future-proof capabilities that were required. A senior engineer from Cenero worked closely with Holman’s project team to define AV requirements and ensure seamless integration with the overall building design. Cenero’s project manager oversaw the implementation, ensuring the project stayed on track and within budget.
The solution provided one-touch meeting joins, consistent user experiences across all rooms, and advanced AI features like Smart Gallery, which focuses on individual participants in a meeting room during a video call for more immersive meetings, all of which met Holman’s criteria. The scalable solution was deployed in the 3001 building and is now being expanded across the campus to the 4001 and 2001 buildings. Cenero also worked with Holman’s IT team to provide training and support, ensuring a smooth transition.
Looking ahead, Cenero will help Holman transition all systems to Microsoft Teams and support similar solutions for remote offices and subsidiaries.
