The vertiginous advance of technology has made the audiovisual industry expand its borders in recent years and increasingly close collaboration with other sectors that previously operated independently. This situation can lead to greater opportunities or problems, depending on how the situation is addressed. Let's look at some cases:
AV integration with the IT world is getting deeper every day. In many cases it is the IT professionals who are in charge of the AV solutions in a company and the comments of the AV integrators about the problems are common because they do not know the solutions. But how much do those who make up the AV world know about IT? This convergence becomes more relevant with the implementation of IP networks.
The Internet of Things is advancing rapidly. Every day there are projections of how many devices will be connected to 2020 and the crifra does not stop growing. Do you know the implications and opportunities it brings to the AV industry?
For the growth of home automation, some integrators are strengthening relationships with construction companies and architectural firms so that it is not considered an isolated solution and is integrated into the projects from their design. Likewise, some construction companies are creating departments that integrate AV solutions into their corporate and commercial building projects.
A globalized world like the one we have today, requires more demanding solutions, based on international standards in order for any installation to be the same in the United States, Europe or Latin America. And customers are better informed and trained.
The question is are we prepared to face these new realities? Only constant training, which we insist on so much, can keep companies as important players in a competitive market like ours.
