Customer Profile

HSBC is one of the world’s largest banking and financial services organizations, serving more than 40 million customers across its global businesses.

In France, HSBC Continental Europe, a subsidiary of HSBC Holdings, plc, employs approximately 8,000 people.

The Challenge

In December 2020, the bank moved from its historic headquarters on the Champs-Élysées to 38 av. Kleber in Paris (16th Arr). During this move, employees were divided between the new headquarters in Paris and HSBC’s hub in La Défense business district.

In order to equip these new spaces and provide an innovative work environment to its employees, HSBC Continental Europe wanted reliable and intuitive technology solutions.

The Solution

This large-scale project included roughly 100 videoconferencing spaces, a boardroom, and an auditorium at the Kléber site.  HSBC Continental Europe chose the AV integration company IMAGEMÉDIA to manage and implement its desired goals. For IMAGEMÉDIA, Kramer’s solutions were the best choice for this project. Indeed, the reliability of Kramer technologies, combined with the support of Kramer France’s team, made it possible to meet the bank’s expectations and ensure a successful and efficient installation.

Each space is equipped with a Kramer VIA GO², our compact and secure 4K wireless presentation device. Among its many features, the VIA GO²’s advanced technology provides users with instant wireless connectivity and allows them to easily present their 4K content. Two participants can simultaneously present content on the main display, fostering collaboration and productivity. Additionally, users can easily select the source and destination for their presentations from Kramer touch screens. 

Kramer’s VS-411X automatic switcher for 4K HDMI video signals was also installed in the different spaces to provide smooth and fast switching.

In the Orangerie, the reception area at Kléber site, a 75” professional monitor was installed with a Kramer VIA Connect Pro wireless device to display dynamic digital signage and content to customers and staff.

The Results

When implementing Kramer solutions, our partner IMAGEMÉDIA had a range of innovative, reliable, and secure technology products. It could rely on Kramer’s team during every phase of the project, from design to support during the installation. HSBC employees truly appreciate how Kramer’s advanced technology tools facilitate collaboration and offer them a truly immersive and innovative experience in a modern work environment.
