Evolved corporate audiovisual brings together IT and traditional AV functions in order to foster streamlined communication, meaningful collaboration and increased productivity in corporate spaces. This audiovisual evolution mirrors the change in daily life where we have all gotten used to intuitive ways of getting what we want instantly. If we can buy anything we want with a few clicks around Amazon, or conjure up a private car to take us anywhere we want to go with a quick tap on our smartphones, why wouldn’t we want to have an effortless way to use av and communication technology at the workplace?

Evolved Audiovisual is Simple Audiovisual

Widespread integration of technology into our daily lives is driving innovation in corporate audiovisual system design for corporate spaces. Where there used to be racks of equipment and piles of cables and connectors, there is now cloud storage and wireless connectivity. Collaboration across disparate physical locations is easier than ever with remote conferencing and standardization. The workday flows smoother with simple solutions that are intuitive to end users who can now walk into a conference room and wirelessly cast a presentation from their laptops, or even their phones, onto an interactive display.

Unified Communication: AV and IT Converge

Forward-thinking corporate audiovisual companies have already shifted from “systems integration” to “unified communication.” This change in thinking reflects the convergence of IT and AV in the corporate context. Audiovisual is no longer only hardware based, and IT is no longer only software based. Now, as the Internet of Things (IoT) evolves, the way we communicate and collaborate at work is also evolving. At its simplest definition, unified communication integrates communication tools. From everything at your desk, to everything in your conference room and everything your team uses to work remotely, unified communication brings it all together.

Simplifying to Move Toward Evolved Corporate Audiovisual

Just like getting into a car with a touch screen display and knowing exactly what turn to make next, professionals want to be able to walk into a meeting room and be able to present, collaborate and complete any necessary work function with minimal set up or production, even when BYOD (bringing your own device). Anything an audiovisual system designer can do to make the experience of technology at work more like that device in everyone’s pocket, the more productive an office space can be. If it can’t be done in a couple of clicks, it doesn’t work.

The days of 4 different connectors sticking up out of a conference table, or waiting for the AV guy to bring the right analog cable are gone. Now, rather than talking about cables and connectors, audiovisual companies now talk about what types of devices are used and how people prefer to connect. So now, it’s about access, network security and bandwidth, versus how many pins you have in your connector. The conversation has changed, and evolved audiovisual is now standard for corporate spaces.
