In recent years, education technology has evolved from being important for student success to being essential. 

Anne was deeply disappointed in the Spring of 2020 when she made the reluctant decision to temporarily close all the offices in her company and ask everyone to work from home. As an investment advisement firm, meeting with clients one-on-one was vital to the business model. Having the doors closed meant that Anne needed to find ways to keep her customers and employees engaged; emails and phone calls could only do so much to communicate. Fortunately, her research showed her how videoconferencing was revolutionizing the financial services industry and she quickly pivoted to bring her business back online. By Spring of 2021, Anne’s team was showing even greater levels of efficiency and profitability.  

Communication is at the heart of the legal profession. A 2021 survey conducted by the American Bar Association details the digital transformation over the last three years and highlights the operational innovations in the legal ecosystem. Law firms now routinely depend on videoconferencing and virtual collaboration tools to communicate with attorneys, staff, clients, witnesses, courts, and others--making streamlined technology infrastructure crucial to success.  

According to one study, 3.4 billion phishing emails are sent out each day across the world. Gmail Protection Service blocks more than 100 million phishing emails a day. Considering this volume of attempts to defraud people and our busy lives online, the likelihood that at least one email will trick us into clicking on it is quite strong.  

Communication technologies are integral to the success of many businesses. Hybrid workplaces, global clientele, and geographically dispersed partners make the need for high-quality communications hardware and software vital to operations. Getting a high ROI on technology investments and giving your teams seamless collaboration experiences is simple with one trusted technology partner working 24/7/365.

Opening doors for new ways to work together brings fresh energy to teams reliant on sharing information and ideas. Interactive whiteboardsbring a tremendous opportunity to take collaborations to the next level. Whether brainstorming internally or presenting externally, the features of interactive displays have evolved to become powerful tools for communicating using a host of media options.  

The safety and security of people and property are top priorities for facilities management professionals. To provide the best protection, facility managers work with commercial low-voltage integrators to design, install, integrate and service the right security infrastructure for a specific site. Access control, intrusion detection and video surveillance are key components of physical security designs. The three systems can be customized to meet client needs and budgets and, most importantly, these systems can be integrated together for comprehensive physical security protections.

Composed of multiple, high-resolution monitors arranged to form a single screen,video wallsstarted out beingused for control and command centers and evolved into powerful business advertising applications. Today, video walls have become architectural focal points,creating dramatic ambiance in large spaces. Hotels, restaurants, museums, high-rise office buildings, airports and even schools, are displaying artistic graphics and videos on large single direct-view LED displaysor multiple displays arranged in unique patterns to deliver a wow factor, indoors and out.

At this point in the information age, digital signage has become a primary solution for organizations delivering impactful messaging to customers, visitors, and employees. 

Integrated Huddle Rooms made up only 8.1% of all video conferencing room meetings in 2019. By 2022, huddle room meetings will increase significantly to reach around 70% of all video meetings.

Let’s be honest, no one likes having their offices upended indefinitely for construction or installation of anything. If we must have changes made to our environments, we want things to go smoothly; that means fast, quiet, clean, respectful people come in and get the job done and leave with minimal disruption and satisfactory results. We expect one point of contact, and we want that person to be responsive and informed about our project. With technology (i.e., audio/visual, security, network, and infrastructure, etc.) installations, a professional project manager makes all the difference ensuring quality results with seamless planning and implementation.

When a client purchases an audio visual room system, they consult with account executives and engineers to finalize designs that will meet their specific needs. Project managers play a big part in setting installations up for success, but audio visual integration technicians are the trained professionals responsible for delivering quality results. Ultimately, your AV project is only as good as your technician.

Audio Visual Integrators specialize in designing and installing videoconferencing and collaboration systems. The science behind adjusting for spatial variables cannot be underestimated when evaluating the value proposition of AV integrators.

Modern offices and classrooms are a complex ecosystem of technology and people. With a control system at its core, an interconnected environment makes work and learning more effective and efficient.

Robert, a VP of Product Development, was concerned. The company had purchased the interactive whiteboards and upgraded videoconferencing systems that he had requested for teams to collaborate between offices in New York, Boston, and Los Angeles but meetings were not productive.

It’s 2:00 AM. Joe the cleaning guy is ready to take his break. He goes to Conference Room 201 to watch an episode of his favorite TV show. Problem is, the Zoom Room’s PC is on HDMI 1 so he has to switch the input of the TV to HDMI 2.

Cybersecurity threats come in all shapes and sizes. Hackers are continuously looking for vulnerabilities and they are finding entry points in even the most sophisticated audio visual (AV) and unified communications (UC) equipment and internet of things (IoT) devices. Hackers exploit backdoors in smart TV firmware or software, telecommunications equipment, and cameras to gain access to networks.

We see the tremendous costs of failed cybersecurity programs in the news every day. According to one widely reported study, in 2021 the global cost associated with ransomware recovery will exceed $20 billion and ransomware attacks against businesses will occur every 11 seconds.
