💡 Many organisations have AV technology systems that are difficult to use, frequently breaking, or not aligned with needs. Sound familiar? This leads to frustration and holds people back from performing at their best. I help corporate, government, education sector leaders implement AV technology solutions to facilitate high performance outcomes for their staff and customers. NEED HELP NOW? +61 403 327 323 | david.allara@konnectus.com.au

I co-founded and now manage the specialist Audio Visual and Technology (AVT) consulting firm konnectus. My team and I have decades of experience customising AVT solutions for modern workspace, education, government, retail, hospitality, entertainment and more.

It may seem obvious, but an organisation's investment in AVT can only provide material returns when the following key points can be claimed:
🔑 The AVT provides a significant and measurable improvement in experience and/or efficiency for your people and organisation
🔑 Your people embrace the AVT and find it easy to use
🔑 The AVT is robust and reliable

No one understands the importance of the above 3 points more than I do, and I am proud to lead a passionate team of technology consultants, engineers, designers, project managers, and trainers at konnectus who are driven to deliver these outcomes.

The konnectus team has delivered user friendly, fit for purpose, and crystal clear audio and video systems to more than 1500 spaces across 300+ projects throughout the ANZ region. Our proven process has helped over 100 medium to large organisations in 8 different industries.
