The Intel Unite solution was designed to be easier, more flexible, more adaptable, and more secure—for both collaborators and IT admins—making it well-positioned to meet the needs of the workplace of the future. 2021 saw a host of enhancements and innovations, including a greatly streamlined purchase model; a more secure, higher performing AV stack; enhanced control for educators; the integration of Microsoft Teams; the expansion of compatible PCs; and the launch of Patient Sight, our proprietary inpatient telehealth app. In 2022, we will continue to evolve our solution to meet the needs of not only the workplace, but education and healthcare sectors, which also are exploring or instituting new approaches to collaboration, instruction, and patient consultation. Projects in the pipeline include providing greater accessibility to participants, delivering a broader set of off-the-shelf apps to address developing needs, and offering even better training, tools, and incentives to our partners.
