Hosted by Crestron on Microsoft Azure®, it gives IT and facilities managers centralized visibility into room utilization, device status, energy consumption, and help desk operations from a single web-based dashboard. The platform integrates directly with Microsoft 365®, Google Calendar™, and other major calendaring systems, making it a practical choice for organizations seeking a fully managed, off-premises deployment model for Crestron Fusion® room management software.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrestron Fusion® Cloud combines two software components — Fusion RV® (RoomView) and Fusion EM® (Energy Management) — into a single subscription. Fusion RV provides scheduling, remote monitoring, real-time help desk alerts, and detailed usage reporting across all licensed rooms. Fusion EM tracks energy sources in real time, integrates with lighting, shades, and climate systems, and correlates energy usage with room occupancy to reduce waste. Because the platform is hosted in Azure, IT departments avoid the capital expense and ongoing maintenance burden of on-premises servers — Crestron manages infrastructure availability and updates throughout the subscription period. Room scheduling integrates with Microsoft Exchange Server®, Microsoft 365®, Google Calendar™, IBM® Notes®, CollegeNET® 25Live®, and Ad Astra® software. In-room touch screens allow on-the-spot reservations; optional room availability signs display occupancy status outside each space. The built-in help desk module enables remote device takeover, alert routing to support staff, and in-room attendee requests. Usage, occupancy, and device reports feed into a Microsoft Power BI® dashboard template, enabling facility managers to make data-driven decisions about space utilization and AV investment. The platform is also compatible with Crestron's .AV Framework™ software for codeless room control deployment. Licensing covers up to 250 rooms; deployments requiring more rooms require additional licenses. The three-year term includes service, support, and software updates; renewal is required after expiration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAzure-Hosted Infrastructure\u003c\/strong\u003e — Crestron manages all server infrastructure, eliminating customer-side hardware costs and reducing IT overhead.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFusion RV® (RoomView)\u003c\/strong\u003e — Centrally monitors, manages, and schedules AV, video conferencing, and capture resources across all licensed rooms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFusion EM® (Energy Management)\u003c\/strong\u003e — Tracks real-time and historical energy data;

SW-FUSION-P-L is self-hosted on the customer's own servers, supports unlimited rooms, and carries a lifetime maintenance term.
