Omnix International announces the successful implementation of Smart Workspace Collaboration Meeting Rooms powered by Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTR) for Bayer Saudi Arabia. This advanced solution was designed to elevate workplace collaboration, enhance user engagement, and foster a more efficient and flexible hybrid work environment.
By integrating MTR technology, Bayer Saudi Arabia now benefits from intuitive and modern meeting room experiences that streamline communication, boost productivity, and support a culture of seamless collaboration. The project’s key focus areas included improving time efficiency, enabling hybrid meeting capabilities, and delivering a user-friendly interface to ensure ease of use for all employees. The result is a modernised digital workspace aligned with Bayer’s forward-looking business objectives.
As the exclusive local Representative Business Unit for GPA in the Middle East, and in strategic collaboration with Fourte Germany (formerly GEMS Germany) in Saudi Arabia, Omnix led the design and deployment of fully integrated solutions across small, medium, and large meeting rooms, as well as a dynamic Town Hall setting. Each room setup was tailored to the unique functional needs of the respective space, ensuring flexibility, adaptability, and an intuitive user experience. The project leveraged advanced AI-powered camera systems that bring in-room and remote participants together through features such as auto-framing, speaker tracking, and intelligent room layout adaptation. The technology also includes ceiling-mounted microphones for optimal voice capture, one-touch meeting consoles, and intelligent room booking panels, all of which contribute to a highly efficient and modern workplace environment.
Hassen Al Safi, Cluster IT, MENAT at Bayer Saudi Arabia, said, “Our aim was to elevate the efficiency and flexibility in our meeting rooms and the intuitive technology powered by AI supports our broader communication goals. We are especially pleased with the implementation in the Town Hall that now delivers seamless communication for our larger meetings. The intelligent room design and collaboration is pivotal in strengthening our employee, partner and customer communication and is a true example of how we need to constantly adapt and innovate for business progress and development.”
Walid Gomaa, CEO of Omnix International, stated, “As the workplace continues to evolve, it is essential for organisations to embrace technologies that support seamless communication and hybrid collaboration. At Omnix, we are proud to contribute to Bayer Saudi Arabia’s digital transformation journey—alongside our partner Fourte Germany and under the GPA global framework for professional AV integration. Through this initiative, we have equipped Bayer with advanced Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTR) solutions that elevate productivity, streamline operations, and foster meaningful engagement across teams and stakeholders.”
The centralised, touch-enabled consoles—integrated with a dedicated compute unit—support one-touch join functionality, seamless calendar integration, and intuitive control over meeting functions. The solution is further enhanced with AI-powered features, such as auto-framing and speaker tracking, as well as crystal-clear audio systems tailored to each room size, ensuring an engaging and productive hybrid meeting environment.
