Choosing the right AV Provider:

From educational facilities to government agencies, to businesses, to architectural firms and facility managers, today's lecture, communications, sales, advertising and conferencing functions demand professionally designed, installed and produced audio visual (AV) presentation systems.

Depending on the size of a company or facility, there may be an information technology (IT) department or staff person in-house needing assistance to bring your communications capabilities up to speed using the modern technology and systems available. An AV solutions provider offers guidance in determining how to proceed before needlessly expending time and money to research the options.

Small organizations may not even have an IT or AV department, and this resource provides a roadmap of who to contact, whether you need to rent, buy or install AV equipment, or simply need a resource to produce an event.

Larger companies, government and military agencies, or higher education institutions are more likely to have AV departments, AV managers and AV technicians on their staff. These may be part of the communications department or part of the information technology or information systems department. Even in this situation a skilled AV provider can offer services that enhance an organization's communications strategy.

Design and Construction of Facilities

When dealing with the design and construction of a new communications facility (a boardroom, auditorium, command and control centre, videoconferencing facility or entire high-tech building), it is important to identify AV needs early in the process. A myriad of building considerations should be addressed during the design process, including lighting, space design, sightlines, acoustical requirements, cooling and electrical loads, furniture designs, wiring, networking and many others. When refurbishing or renovating an existing facility, many of the same considerations must be addressed, and the task is often more challenging because the audio visual systems must be integrated into an environment that may not be conducive.
