Over the past months, people have had more time than ever to experience in-home technology. Whether this is for work or for recreation, one thing is clear: Consumer technology use has increased dramatically.
When it comes to AV technology, what one finds in the home is often more advanced than what is found in the typical workplace. With increased in-home use of large flat panels, 4K/UHD video, sound bars, surround sound systems and more, comes a greater demand for more sophisticated technology in the office as well.
Great Expectations
Upon returning to the workplace, many employees will probably notice the sub-par experience any dated AV technology. Those who have embraced video conferencing will expect teleconferences to continue – possibly replacing some in-person meetings that require travel. Conference room displays are going to need to compare favorably to the modern video screens most people have in their homes. Keep in mind, however, consumer grade systems are not appropriate for professional use. Professional-grade systems are required to deliver that high-quality experience in a workplace environment.
This matters because the quality of AV can reflect on how the company is viewed by customers and prospects, and even how employees see their company.
The Best of Technology
Ideally, technology makes everyday work as seamless as possible. This cuts out the guesswork and cuts down on time. Imagine stepping into a conference room where everything worked seamlessly. Lights turn on as you enter, there’s no need for a remote because your systems are all touchless, there are easy step-by-step instructions attached to each device. Now, imagine you’re a corporation with offices all over the world, and each office is standardized to have the exact same technology with the exact same operating steps. This integrated system saves your office time and worry, which leaves your employees with more time to focus on tasks.
Staying Ahead of The Curve:
While upgrading technology does require an initial cost, the return is undeniably much greater. Technology enhancements lead to increased efficiency, which ultimately results in greater productivity. For those without an extensive tech background, making the leap can be tough. But don’t spend too much time deciding on what’s next. Today’s world moves fast; in a year’s time, this year’s technology will be old with another, more advanced iteration taking its place. Staying ahead of the curve means making smart decisions.
