Iris Software Group

Iris Software Group, a global technology firm with offices in London, Manchester and New York wanted to modernise its boardrooms to deliver consistent, high-quality meeting experiences across all locations. With hybrid collaboration becoming a core part of their daily operations, the client turned to Byond Group to upgrade their AV systems and create a unified Microsoft Teams Room setup.

The challenge

The client’s existing boardroom systems had become unreliable and time-consuming to manage. Audio issues were particularly disruptive, with feedback, echo and poor microphone pickup affecting meeting quality and user confidence.

They needed a partner who could:

  • Standardise technology across three sites
  • Deliver a professional Microsoft Teams Room experience
  • Simplify operation for everyday users
  • Handle complex logistics, including an overseas installation in New York

The solution

Byond Group designed and delivered a complete upgrade programme, starting in Heathrow and Manchester before rolling out the same system to a new office in New York.

The solution included:

  • Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTR) base systems including compute and table top touch panels
  • MTR certified Yamaha audio processors
  • Yamaha wired omnidirectional tabletop microphones and enhanced speaker systems
  • Intelligent tracking cameras for more natural hybrid meetings
  • Automated room activation via motion sensors

Byond’s in-house engineers and international installation partners worked closely with the client’s facilities and IT teams to ensure each system met both technical and design requirements.

Implementation

While the New York project came with its share of logistical challenges, including tight building access restrictions and phased equipment delivery, once on-site Byond’s on-site engineer ensured everything stayed on track.

“Yuri was fantastic - knowledgeable, skilled and able to work around on-site issues. He just got on and made it happen.”

The results

  • Consistent experience across offices – London, Manchester and New York now share a standardised, easy-to-use Teams Room setup.
  • Improved sound and reliability – The new systems resolved the long-standing audio issues, delivering crystal-clear communication.
  • Increased confidence and usability – Meeting rooms are now intuitive, reliable, and ready to use at a moment’s notice.
  • Professional, end-to-end delivery – From communication to project handover, Byond provided “an all-round package” that gave the client full confidence in every stage of the process.

The Feedback

"Quality installs, great communication, professionalism, and a complete package. We didn’t have to go elsewhere to get anything done. I’d be very happy to recommend Byond Group”
