Upgrading AV Avoid the Nightmares

Written By: Randy N. Marcotte

We have a lead!  Fundamentally, AV partners like DCS Global and Perfect Video Conferencing, Inc. love that sentence. We are here to help and here to bring new and exciting products to your company.  It is our job to stay abreast of the best technology that helps you solve key business and communication needs.  We’re here to help. 

Evaluating your company’s needs for audiovisual (AV) and conference room support and upgrade requires a systematic approach. It need not be a nightmare and you can avoid headaches and frustrations if you take a clear, systematic approach.  

I have over 20 years of experience solving business problems with technology and as a business owner, what irks me the most is when tech “wizards” like me waste my time. Time is money and the solutions can be complicated, the choices can be confusing.  They don’t need to be so. Hold us accountable for providing you clear choices in a timely manner and accurate options that fit your budget and address the concerns YOU have, rather than the favorite flavor of a reseller partner like us.  We are here to work for you.   

Struggling to pick a solution?  Here are some steps you can follow: 

  1. Identify your requirements: First, determine your requirements for AV and conference room support. Consider factors such as the size of your conference rooms, the number of participants, the type of presentations or content you will be displaying, and the types of devices you need to connect. 
  2.  Assess your current setup: Once you have identified your requirements, assess your current AV and conference room setup. Determine what equipment you currently have, what works well, and what needs improvement. Consider factors such as the age of your equipment, its reliability, and its compatibility with your current devices and software. 
  3. Poll the people: Don’t ignore your user community and don’t bend to them either.  Your users will provide you feedback on any solution you choose and like you, your AV reseller answers to them. Collaboration technology needs to enable the business to be more effective. Provide training that helps with adoption and choose a proven solution that has stability and scale. 
  4. Determine your budget: Next, determine your budget for upgrading your AV and conference room support. Consider factors such as the cost of new equipment, installation, and ongoing maintenance and support. 
  5. Evaluate vendors: Research vendors who offer AV and conference room support and compare their offerings. Consider factors such as their expertise, reputation, and experience working with companies similar to yours. There… I said it. We are not the only horse in this race. Bet on our team for a consistent stride and enjoy the ride. 
  6. Consider future needs: Finally, consider your future needs for AV and conference room support. Determine how your needs might change over the next few years and choose a solution that can accommodate your future needs. 

By following these steps, you can evaluate your company’s needs for AV and conference room support and choose a solution that meets your current and future needs.
