And as consultants, that’s what you need to deliver. After all, you’re paid to be an expert in AV design and deployment, and your systems need to deliver on that promise.

The problem is, sometimes the issues that get in the way of perfection are beyond your control. Individual hardware components that should play nicely together start giving you issues after firmware updates. Documentation for some components is outdated or missing, forcing you to guess how the system will work once it’s assembled. And that doesn’t even factor in regional issues associated with global deployment.

Because you’re using so many different vendors, it can be tough to hold any of them accountable to supporting you when issues arise. You could write this off as just part of the job if the consequences weren’t so high.

The larger the client you have, the larger the stakes are for failure. A broadcast AV system going down during an earnings call for a multi-billion-dollar company can send shockwaves through the entire stock market. We’re talking about real-world impacts from issues that are out of your control. That’s a lot of risk to take on as a consultant.
