Creating collaboration focused
infrastructure at Bayer
As closer coordination between global and India offices has
become increasingly critical,
Bayer wanted to place the latest meeting and collaboration
technologies at the disposal of
their teams. The new Thane office complex (Bayer House) and the
factory in Vapi, Gujarat
were identified for implementing these solutions.

The ChallengeBayer, is one of the world's leading innovators in
agricultural
sciences and conducts research into new technologies to
increase
agricultural productivity and improve future food security.
Actis was approached to help when Bayer decided to move
teams
from different locations to their new Thane corporate
offices.
The project involved creating and integrating several Meeting
rooms,
Conference rooms, Training rooms and Boardrooms across
multiple
floors of the building.
Bayer also wanted to have collaboration, meeting and
training
facilities for use by staff at the Vapi Factory location.
At Thane, a dedicated Collaboration Level (on the 6th floor)
was
envisaged to put the latest meeting and collaboration
technologies at the disposal of their entire team.

The Professional Services Group at Actis deployed an
integrated
collaboration solution at Bayer, Thane. Multiple Focus rooms
(one on
each floor) have been created for small group meetings. In
addition,
Bayer has converted their 6th floor into a dedicated
Collaboration Level
with Meeting rooms, 10-seater Conference Rooms, 14seater
Ushaped
room, Training rooms, Boardrooms, and a 15seater Oshaped
Conference room.
Actis has set up all the rooms with full digital (IP-based CAT5)
data and
control infrastructure featuring the latest XTP Solutions from
Extron.
This helps eliminate the
need for multiple types of cabling and simplifies both the
installation and
maintenance processes considerably.
The 2 Boardrooms and 2 Training rooms also work in combined
mode
to create for larger meetings or special a single large
Town-hall type space
events. When used individually, these Boardrooms and Training
rooms
are ideal for smaller groups to collaborate and learn. All 4
rooms that
make up the Town-hall are centrally controlled via a . common
controller
A special Round-table Conference Room was designed for better
one-on-
one interactions with everybody in the room, and has 4 x 46 LED
displays
for viewing presentations.

The Result
Bayer was looking to improve collaboration across the entire
organisation and ensure that meeting spaces
were well integrated for smoother management at all times.
The result was a unique office building, which provides access
to the best collaboration technologies on
every floor and for groups of almost any size and is also
connected to similar facilities at the Vapi factory.
I would like to thank the entire Actis team immensely for their
kind
support in successful opening of Bayer House in such a short
span of time.
Your team have worked beyond working hours to get this work
done.
