From ensuring successful sales presentations to enabling inter-company collaboration, audio-visual (AV) services provide a number of essential features for businesses and other organizations. But they don’t come automatically! Here’s why professional AV installation is necessary to seize the full range of benefits from your audio-visual investment.



The Benefits of Professional AV Installation


As we discussed in Part 1, audio-visual (AV) systems that include remote videoconferencing, digital signage, high-grade audio delivery, and other essential multimedia components aren’t just beneficial but increasingly necessary in today’s tech-centric world.


> What are AV systems, and what are they used for? Get a quick recap here


Why? For businesses, non-profits, government entities, education, and pretty much any other public-facing organization, a modern, up-to-date AV system can:

  • Improve communication and collaboration by seamlessly connecting remote and internal personnel, vendors, contractors, clients, and other stakeholders

  • Ensure meeting equity to facilitate active inclusion and involvement from all participants during virtual meetings, including remote attendees

  • Boost efficiency and productivity by enabling instant info sharing, long-distance meetings, automatic scheduling, and more

  • Strengthen company culture by engaging team members with up-to-date info and consistent, on-point internal messaging

  • Increase revenue and market share with more competitive branding, more powerful customer experiences, and more impactful sales presentations

  • Expand hiring options with more advanced capabilities for sourcing, interviewing, and onboarding candidates

  • Develop internal skills by enabling more effective training, including group sessions, workshops, virtual retreats, and more

  • Enhance security by integrating with surveillance cameras, video monitoring, alarm systems, and other essential security components

  • Provide consistent, reliable classroom experiences across educational campuses while enabling the more efficient and cost-effective support of those systems


8 Reasons to Invest in Professional AV Installation


But it’s also important to understand that these are the benefits of an expertly designed and professional installed AV system that applies technical expertise at every stage of the process, from design to proper mounting to wiring to final system calibration, and every point in between.


In other words, the do-it-yourself mentality just doesn’t cut it here. To get the full impact of a modern AV system, organizations need a certified, nationally recognized professional installation provider who can provide everything needed to ensure maximum quality, performance, and return on investment, including:


1. Customized system design. Each organization’s requirements are unique, and professional AV installation can meet each one. From facility layout, technology standards, interconnectivity and compatibility to fulfilling business objectives, budgets, and whatever else matters, professional installation is built to meet your specific needs.


2. Access to the best equipment. From enterprise-grade hardware and components to cutting-edge software and more, professional installers can connect organizations to technology that’s at a higher level of quality than what they may otherwise be able to access.


3. Hassle-free installation. With their advanced understanding of technology, system design, and integration needs, AV installation experts can more efficiently manage the complex setups that today’s systems require. Even when internal staff has expertise in this area, they often have other responsibilities to manage as well, and rarely have the time (or the true insider expertise) to deliver the best possible results.


4. Expertise where it matters most. From the audio intelligibility needed to ensure clear and uninterrupted performance to the certified expertise required to arrange placement of ADA-compliant devices, lighting angles, and proper visual sightlines for crisp and engaging visuals, expert installation is necessary to ensure that AV systems meet their full potential.


5. Cost-controlling measures. By ensuring seamless connectivity and compatibility with existing systems, professional AV installation can help prevent the technical issues and downtime that often come with improper or outdated integration. This can also help ensure extended lifespan of hardware, further extending the value of the original investment.


6. Fast and effective troubleshooting. Expertly integrated maintenance and system monitoring protocols can promptly spot technical issues and enable fast reaction and resolution, helping minimize or even eliminate downtime and saving organizations service costs and the need to arrange on-site support.


7. Built-in scalability. At a time when technology and user experiences are rapidly evolving, expert installation can help organizations more readily accommodate growth, upgrades, changes in branding or messaging, or the need to add new features, all while keeping costs under control.


8. Safety, security, and regulatory compliance. Finally, professional AV installation providers can help organizations align their systems with internal standards around disaster planning and business continuity. They also offer warranty coverage, service guarantees, and maintenance programs to further protect their investment.
