BENEFITS OF TRANSFORMATION AV & ELV
Cost effectiveness:
Just imagine reducing two sets of cable and network infrastructure into one or even wireless connections. Yes, by utilising existing IT infrastructure, businesses can avoid duplicating efforts and cut maintenance expenses for separate AV and IT systems. Additionally, downtime and maintenance costs can be reduced by remote monitoring and centralised management.
Scalability and Flexibility:
AV devices and apps can be monitored and managed by administrators using a single interface thanks to centralised management features offered by IT systems. This makes system upkeep, troubleshooting, and updates simpler. Organisations can take advantage of the scalability and flexibility of IT resources by connecting AV systems with IT infrastructure. Demanding AV applications, such high-resolution video streaming or virtual reality, can be supported by IT infrastructure by providing the appropriate computer power, storage, and network bandwidth.
Improved Collaboration:
By integrating AV technology with collaboration tools and unified communication platforms, AV to IT transformation promotes seamless collaboration. Users may communicate in real-time, share content, and hold video conferences and events to access or track security movements thanks to this connection, regardless of where they are physically located.
Analytics and Insights:
The foundation for gathering and analysing data from AV systems is IT infrastructure. Organisations can get useful insights into AV usage, performance, and user behaviour by integrating AV systems with IT analytics solutions, enabling data-driven decision-making and optimisation.
So what action should an organization consider to achieve AV / ELV to IT Transformation?
Assess Current AV Infrastructure: Consider the strengths and weaknesses of the current AV systems.
Establish Integration Goals:
Choose the AV to IT transformation’s objectives, such as greater collaboration, cost savings, or improved user experience.
Infrastructure Upgrades: To meet the rising demands of AV applications, upgrade IT infrastructure elements such networking gear, storage, and servers. Make sure you have enough bandwidth, fast networks, and reliable security.
Standardisation and Compatibility:
To ensure compatibility with IT systems, standardise AV technologies and protocols.
Integration and Interoperability: Connect AV hardware to the network, create communication protocols, and make AV and IT applications interoperable to integrate AV systems with IT infrastructure.
Training and change management:
To help users and IT workers become accustomed to the integrated AV and IT environment, provide training and assistance. In order to ensure a seamless transfer and adoption of the new system, properly manage the change process.
Alternatively, appointing a third party solution provider could save the hassle of doing it on your own.
