Discover how the LA Clippers partnered with Neat to transform workplace collaboration and elevate the video meeting experience inside the most advanced arena in sports, the Intuit Dome.

The LA Clippers are stepping into a bold new chapter with Intuit Dome, their brand new, state-of-the-art arena in Inglewood, California. More than just a venue, Intuit Dome is committed to being at the forefront of sports and workplace innovation. When the Clippers began designing their video collaboration systems, they weren’t just looking for gear. They were hungry for a partner who shared the same standard of excellence, which is how the Clippers came to meet Neat.

Being an organization that prides ourselves on innovation we knew we wanted to find a way to enhance our video collaboration experience. Neat’s unique tools and systems have allowed us to achieve this and continue to reach our goals.

From glitchy complexity to a slick unified platform

Before Neat, the Clippers – like many organizations – faced the frustration of inconsistent AV setups across meeting rooms. The lack of a unified solution meant the IT team had to manually inspect and support each room daily. Through their unique technology, Neat was able to provide support for these issues by bringing all collaboration tools under one ecosystem.  

Each meeting room is equipped with the same equipment, which avoids challenges with integration, management, and troubleshooting. 

Set-up couldn’t be simpler

One of Neat’s key advantages is the devices work right out of the box. Whether it’s a video bar like Neat Bar Generation 2 , Neat Bar Pro, or a mobile video-enabled screen like Neat Board, all devices include an easy set it up. The Clippers were able to easily integrate Neat devices at their new home, Intuit Dome, including Neat Pads, which are situated outside every meeting space for instant room booking. Once plugged in, Neat devices can be set up in mere minutes, following foolproof instructions on-screen.

For their conference rooms, the Clippers installed either a Neat Bar Generation 2 or Neat Bar Pro. Neat Bar Pro is a more powerful option for larger spaces, while Neat Bar Generation 2 is more suitable for small to medium-sized spaces. Neat Bar Pro combines studio-quality audio and intelligent camera framing in one sleek device, delivering a meeting experience so immersive it feels like everyone’s in the same room – even when they’re not.

For spaces needing more flexibility, the Clippers wheel in Neat Board, turning a lounge or suite into a hybrid meeting area at a moment’s notice. An even more powerful option is Neat Board Pro, which the Clippers will also be adding to their video collaboration portfolio.

Neat Center is a game-changer for hybrid collaboration 

A standout device for the Clippers is Neat Center, which they chose for some of their most important meeting places. Neat Center puts meeting participants front and center, quite literally. Neat Symmetry has given the Clippers virtual meetings a more personalized feeling by auto-framing each speaker. This makes it easy to identify who is speaking. 

Real-world business benefits

The decision to partner with Neat wasn’t only about better meetings, it was about improving real-world outcomes. 

With Neat, you bring everybody close. I can read off of the interactions of the individuals, which has added clarity and had measurable benefits to our meetings.

Neat’s technology is now central to how the Clippers build relationships and drive their business forward.

Seamless integration with Microsoft Teams

With deep roots in the Microsoft ecosystem, integration was a top priority for theClippers. Neat’s technology allowed for this to happen seamlessly creating an easier experience for the IT team and staff using it. It also allowed for less time learning and more time getting work done. 

Neat Pulse makes management hassle-free

In a large facility like Intuit Dome, solutions need to scale with ease and be managed centrally for optimal efficiency. Neat Pulse delivers exactly this. 

Neat Pulse is a cloud-based admin platform that provides remote access to monitor, manage, and update all Neat devices while offering real-time status reports and proactive alerts. It’s a breath of fresh air for IT teams, greatly reducing the number of support tickets raised each day.

With the addition of Neat App Hub, teams can also easily deploy and manage third-party apps across devices, giving organizations even greater flexibility and customization for their meeting spaces.

A winning team for an arena like no other

The Clippers didn’t just choose hardware, they invested in a partner that shares their spirit of collaboration and continuous improvement. 

At the heart of the Clippers organization is a culture built on stretching boundaries and demanding excellence – both internally and from partners. 

We knew that Neat would help to improve our meeting experience by allowing for us to effectively communicate with partners and continue our growth.
