Have you ever felt slowed down by your AV that doesn’t work properly? Or even just dealt with systems that are hard to learn and use efficiently? We’ve seen first-hand how audiovisual technology can be used to improve efficiency, productivity, and communication in the workplace — yet so many organizations don’t have the proper equipment and/or infrastructure in place to set them up for success.
There are a variety of avenues business leaders and AV pros can take to ensure that AV systems are as proactive and up-to-date as possible. Beyond that, there are a few ways that AV pros can combine proactivity and innovation to help both themselves and their clients while making the most of their time and resources (present and future). These two aspects of technology really go hand-in-hand in many regards – so let’s discuss a few of the key ways that AV technology can encourage proactivity and innovation inside your business.
In terms of proactivity: first and foremost, properly integrated AV systems should use sensors and monitoring tools to prevent problems before they occur. This could be something as simple as a temperature sensor in a server room that alerts the IT team if the temperature rises too high, potentially causing damage to the equipment.
Additionally, these systems should be designed to anticipate all the needs of users, making it easy to access and use the technology they need, when they need it. By making it easy for people to share and access information, properly integrated AV technology can improve communication and collaboration within organizations.
Now, let’s shift our lens to look deeper into the innovation that a properly integrated AV system can provide. The biggest (and perhaps most important) capability is the incorporation of new technologies as they become available, done in such a way that their integration doesn’t disrupt existing systems or processes. This allows users to take advantage of the latest and greatest AV technologies without having to invest in a new system from scratch. AV pros can also use their creativity and expertise to develop innovative AV solutions that meet the specific needs of their clients. An example of this could be an AV professional who designs a custom system for an organization that allows users to interact with the technology in specific ways that only their business may need.
But wait! There’s one more big benefit to making sure your systems are integrated correctly – cost. By being innovative and proactive when planning and building out your AV systems, you are setting yourself up for financial success as well. Though the front-end investment may seem more expensive in some regards, it will ensure fewer headaches and make your business more successful and profitable long-term –– all while guaranteeing a high level of employee and client satisfaction.
