Enterprise conference room used for oil and gas AV consulting

Mid-size oil & gas. IT-owned AV

The AV fails in the board meeting, and the ticket lands on IT.

After 5pm, someone else owns that phone call now.

Score your AV and see if the failure is just a one-off, or a larger issue.

This is your current week.

The integrator is closed when the failure happens.

Earnings rehearsals run after 5. The vendor line goes to voicemail until Monday.

Network is green. The room is dead.

You can see the switch on the same ticket. You cannot see the codec or the mute until someone else logs in.

You did not pick these rooms

Capital or facilities chose the gear. The field office has no one in it. Every ticket starts from scratch.

One failed board call and it is your name

This is not ticket volume. It is one hour, one room, and you explaining why IT does not have this.

The 5pm call is no longer yours

Someone owns the exec room by name on a Sunday night, and it is not your cell.

Every meeting should be boring

From your seat. The rehearsal happens, the call happens, and nothing about it reaches your phone.

The same three rooms stop coming back

Last month's repeat offenders are not in this month's queue. Your helpdesk closed them.

You can say no to the next one-off

When capital picks a room, you refuse the stack before it ships instead of supporting it for years.

The standards. We own the process.

Frequently Asked Questions

I already have my score. Why do you need 20 more minutes?
The score simply represents where you are today. After a quick call, you'll better understand your options for improving your AV estate.
Is this a 20-minute pitch?
No. We want a quick feel for the after-hours ticket and the leftover sites, and whether we can take that exposure off your name.
Do you sell or install hardware?
No. We do not sell or install hardware. We are independent AV consultants. We write your standards, set your acceptance criteria, and help you pick and manage the partners who install. You're not buying a stack, you're buying a plan.
Do I need to prep or bring an AV director?
Not at all. This call is best suited for the IT owner. Just provide a screenshot of the score if you have it (we can email it to you).
What if I don't have 20 minutes?
Then don't request the call. You have your score, and feel free to read through the four articles listed below. When you're ready to improve your AV estate (and score), contact us.
