Smarter Systems Collaboration Center

Let's be realistic for a minute.

Technology shouldn't be looked at as a return on investment.  Here's a scenario on why.

Your team is prepping for a big meeting, and you walk into the office a few minutes early to get the conference up and running.  But out of nowhere, your system isn't turning on.

You're stunned.  You just installed this eight months ago....and it's already broken?

But don't fret.  The solution is probably easier to spot than you realize.  And although it's frustrating that it's not working right now, well, we've got a solution!

For any A/V professional, InfoComm is the ultimate field trip.  Not only do you get to get a few days out of the office (woo!), but you spend the week checking out new gadgets, mingling, and soaking in the Florida sun.

So it's no guess that we saw a few things we liked this year.  Here's a list, with some on-the-street footage!

With the rising necessity for remote work in today's digital age, and especially so after the COVID-19 pandemic, modern-day businesses have had to completely change their methods of collaboration.  With modern problems come future solutions - and the future is today, here in the form of a huddle room.

If you look through our blog, you’re probably wondering why the heck we’re writing about our room bundle service, JUMPSTART ROOMS, so much.

So, you want a Poly bar but don’t know where to start? How much does a Poly bar cost? Will it work in my office space?

Whatever it may be, you’ve made a great decision - Poly’s line of video bars in the Studio X series have been nothing short of legendary in the A/V world. Since being introduced in late 2019, it’s not hard to understand why this collection has been a staple of conference room systems in and after the pandemic, but also been a staple in our JUMPSTART ROOMS room bundles.

AV-as-a-service (AVaaS) has gained a lot of notoriety in recent years - and it’s only gaining traction in today’s continuously evolving subscription economy. For a variety of reasons, organizations are opting for the use of and access to the technology and additional equipment they need to operate versus making cash purchases and outright owning it. These solutions offer more flexibility and protection in a constantly changing business climate.

The simple answer to this question is: it depends because conferencing systems vary constantly based on user specifications.

When interacting with prospects and clients, I hear, “Keep this simple for us!” often.  This is understandable.  Who wants to struggle with a steep learning curve on mission critical equipment when you’re five minutes from a very important meeting?

Those predicting we’d all be back in the office full time by now were probably wrong.  Hybrid environments are here to stay, as a new study from HealthEquity, via Forbes, shows employees prefer to work from home at least 3 days a week.
