Crestron Fusion® provides you with the information you need to optimize your biggest investments:
People
By helping knowledge workers locate workspaces, and easily connect to the people and tools they need, Crestron Fusion reduces the wasted time and frustration they experience throughout their day, enabling them to be as productive as possible.
Spaces
By providing complete visibility of every room in every building around the campus or around the world, Crestron Fusion helps real estate and facilities managers maximize room usage, and make data-driven decisions about workspace utilization and energy consumption.
Technology
By providing complete visibility to every AV device and environmental system across the organization, Crestron Fusion enables managers to gather data on which technology people are using and schedule preventive maintenance that maximizes equipment uptime, all on a robust, secure and scalable platform.
Building the technology that integrates technology
Crestron integrates systems and technologies that typically operate in silos, so they work together as a single system. Audio, video, voice and data, lighting, security, digital signage, Building Management Systems (BMS), shades, and HVAC systems can be centrally monitored, managed and controlled. Crestron software adds a layer of intelligence to turn an organization into an Intelligent Enterprise.
Crestron Fusion provides more data points and connects them in ways that no other software can. Robust usage and analytic reports supply the intelligence and insight needed to make informed decisions about purchasing, scheduling, resource allocation, and workspace design that make knowledge workers more productive and organizations more efficient.
- GLOBAL DEVICE MANAGEMENT
- Proactively monitor and manage your global network of AV devices in a single location

- USER EXPERIENCE AND AUTOMATION
- No-touch startup; enter a room and the meeting begins (lights on, displays on, welcome message on the display)
- One-touch video conference join reduces complexity for employees and promotes use of system, thereby maximizing investment
- Meeting space is automatically reset for next group when participants exit
- Participants can instantly share content from smart devices as soon as they enter room
- Recorded lectures, presentations, and meetings can automatically be pushed to server for processing, so they can be quickly reviewed, stored, and accessed for streaming
- ASSET AND SPACE UTILIZATON
- Track and report data points such as connectivity preferences, device utilization, and space utilization to detect and correct misuse
- Custom reports provide actionable data to enable management and optimization of resources and investments
- Built on a power database, data can be extracted into third party big-data tools for analysis
- SMART BUILDING INTEGRATION
- Reduce energy consumption by centrally monitoring, measuring, managing, and controlling lighting and building power systems in real-time in every space
