Smarter, more inclusive meetings, wherever your people are

Hybrid working is here to stay, and meeting spaces across New Zealand need to evolve to keep pace. Ricoh, in partnership with Poly and Microsoft, is helping organisations across Aotearoa transform traditional rooms into high-performing Teams Rooms, spaces that bring people together, no matter where they are.

Whether you're joining from the office, from home, or somewhere in between, Teams Rooms ensure meetings start on time, run smoothly, and leave no one out of the conversation.

Why Ricoh Teams Rooms?
