Case study in bound. Watch this space.

AV should just work. So why doesn't it? Picture this: The CFO walks into a high-stakes meeting. The team is prepped. The agenda is tight. But then—the screen won’t turn on. People scramble. IT gets called. The meeting starts late. Confidence takes a hit. And in that moment, it doesn’t matter how much was spent on AV. What matters is that it’s not working when it needs to. This isn’t just an inconvenience. It’s a credibility killer. The problem? Most companies buy AV and then forget about it—until it breaks. Warranties expire and no one notices until something fails. Maintenance is reactive—problems get fixed after they disrupt meetings. Old tech lingers because upgrades weren’t planned in advance. So how do you stop the cycle? 1?? Track warranties properly – If you don’t know what’s covered, you’ll always be paying full price for repairs. 2?? Schedule proactive maintenance – Test systems regularly so issues don’t show up in the middle of a meeting. 3?? Standardise across rooms – The fewer variations in your setup, the easier it is to manage and fix. 4?? Align refresh cycles with strategy – Don’t wait until something is failing to replace it. Plan ahead. 5?? Work with a single, accountable partner – Too many vendors = no clear ownership when things go wrong. When AV is managed properly, no one notices it. And that’s the goal. AV isn’t just about tech—it’s about seamless collaboration, efficiency, and making sure business runs without friction. What’s the worst AV failure you’ve had to deal with? Drop it in the comments—I’ve probably heard worse. ?? #AVTech #EnterpriseIT #SeamlessWorkplace #sporgroup

How One AV Director Stopped Warranty Headaches from Disrupting His Meeting Rooms.... ? A few months ago, I spoke with an?AV Director at a global finance firm. He was frustrated. ? “Every week, I get escalations about meeting rooms not working. Screens fail, mics cut out, and IT is always in reactive mode. The worst part? Half the time, the kit is out of warranty, so we’re left scrambling for repairs.” ? Sound familiar??James (not his real name) wasn’t just dealing with faulty AV—he was dealing with C-suite pressure, unexpected costs, and a team stretched thin fixing problems that should never have happened. ? Here’s what we did: ?Mapped every AV warranty?– No more surprises. We tracked every asset, its coverage, and expiry dates. ?Automated reminders?– Instead of reacting to failures, his team got ahead of them. ?Aligned warranty cycles with upgrade plans?– No more unplanned costs, just structured, predictable tech investments. ?Leveraged vendor SLAs?– Instead of waiting weeks for replacements, they got priority support—without extra spend. ? Now??Downtime is down. Costs are controlled. The exec team is happy. ? And James??Instead of firefighting AV issues, he’s focusing on the bigger picture—scalable, future-proof workplace tech. This isn’t about AV. It’s about?keeping critical systems running, reducing risk, and making sure the technology just works. ? If warranty headaches are eating up your team’s time, this is worth fixing now—before the next screen goes black mid-meeting. ? Ever had a nightmare AV failure because of an expired warranty? Drop it in the comments. Let’s compare war stories.????#AVSolutions #EnterpriseIT #WorkplaceTechnology

Our February 2025 newsletter is now out. This month, we discuss 'Elevating Corporate Collaboration with the Latest AV Advancements'.

The biggest takeaway from the #ISE2025 has to be the importance of collaboration. ?? More importantly, how digital collaboration needs to replicate the energy of face-to-face connections via technology such as the latest models at @MAXHUB. Experiencing this tech first-hand, we can see why it caught the attention of our Technical Director, Paul Warden: ? - All-in-One Device: Projection, whiteboarding, and video conferencing, making them easy to use for any meeting. -?Touchscreens: High-resolution touchscreens support multi-touch, making them perfect for interactive collaboration. - Easy Integration: Displays that work seamlessly with Microsoft Teams and other software for smooth collaboration. - Built-in Audio and Video: Some models have cameras and microphones for clear video calls and presentations. ? #MAXHUB #ISE2025 #ISEBarcelona
