We feel the same way about audiovisual solutions. Whether it’s digital signage used in your lobby or breakroom, an interactive display in a collaboration space, or the presentation system in the boardroom, AV solutions must work every single time. 

In the pro AV industry, we call this concept Enterprise-Grade AV, and it’s at the core of all our customer relationships – from multinational enterprises to mid-size corporations to small start-ups.

What’s Considered Enterprise-Grade AV?

In contrast to consumer-grade equipment, enterprise-grade AV solutions prioritize performance, longevity, and security over cost efficiency. They’re typically more of an investment but offer IT leaders several critical benefits in return. For example:

• Reliability: Enterprise-grade AV solutions perform consistently and without failure. These technologies simply do what you expect them to do.  
• Durability: These workhorse solutions perform well in the most demanding environments for extended periods.  
• Scalability: As your organization grows, your technology estate can expand with it.  
• Security: Enterprise-grade AV is delivered following industry recognized best practices, giving IT leaders peace of mind. 
• Flexibility: If your business needs change, enterprise-grade AV is more adaptable. 
• Compatibility: These solutions are designed to work seamlessly with other enterprise-level systems and software. In fact, many enterprise-grade AV solutions are certified as compatible with the most popular unified collaboration platforms.  
• Simplicity: These solutions are free of unnecessary complexity and designed for ease of use. With the press of a single button (or even no button at all) users can focus on the subject matter – not the technology.

A quick note about ease of use: In the past, the pro AV industry could be guilty of making systems overly complex. Take a control system, for example. Many of these systems have dozens of features, from turning on the lights and managing the temperature to adjusting audio levels and switching sources. When we enabled every feature, systems could become so complex nobody knew how to use them. In today’s environments, the goalposts have moved. People expect to enter a meeting room and intuitively know how to use it – no operations guide required! 

Systems Integration is Key

Our expertise is in systems integration. We help organizations maximize enterprise-grade AV solutions. We listen carefully to your goals, design solutions that meet your needs, and choose the right combination of hardware and software components from various manufacturers to create a cohesive solution that easily fits into your ecosystem. 

Then, we install, configure, and test your solution to ensure it meets your requirements. We can also provide ongoing managed services, so your team can focus on other priorities if needed. The result? AV that performs like good IT.
