Technology is changing at such a fast rate many are unable to keep up with latest
and greatest. Those who choose not to upgrade often end up with systems that are no
longer compatible with external components and are unable to find replacement parts
when things breakdown.
When the time comes that an AV system/ equipment needs to be purchased or
replaced many experience ‘sticker shock’; which is then followed by disappointment as
they are forced to purchase subpar equipment due to budget restrictions.
Now with AVaaS, everyone from proprietorships or new stat-ups to large international
businesses can now not only afford the AV equipment they want and need but also
save outlays of large sums of capital.
What is AVaaS?
“ Audio Visual As A Service ” is on its way to being one of the fastest growing markets in
the AV industry.
The AV industry has operated primarily the same throughout the years; assess the
customer’s needs, provide a quote, install the system, and provide a quick training
session. Although most systems and equipment come with a one-year warranty, after
the final sign-off, many clients are often left to fend for themselves.
Some organizations still prefer to own their equipment, but many are recognizing that
there are many advantages with the AVaaS model and realizing it is a better solution for
their organization.
AVaaS is a new and exciting trend that is providing audio visual customers with an
opportunity to equip their businesses with the newest and best equipment for a nominal
monthly fee versus outlaying large sums of cash on technology that will be obsolete in a
few short years.
In the wake of other industries that are providing these same types of ‘service models’,
the AV industry is finally stepped into the 21st century! Goodbye to the days of
businesses struggling to source large amounts of capital to purchase an entire AV
system and in turn having to upgrade components and equipment a few short years
later.

Why AVaaS?
If you ask any audiovisual consulting service, they will tell you that AVaaS will save you
time and money. A few examples of how include:
Operating expenditure vs. Capital expenditure
Low monthly fee vs. Large upfront investment
Access to the newest technology vs. Using equipment until it’s failing / dead
Seamless refreshes vs. Starting from scratch every few years
Service agreements vs. In-house staff trying to problem solve
Scheduled maintenance vs. Sporadic maintenance attempted by in-house staff
AV Technology
Regardless of the type or the size of your organization, almost everyone utilizes AV
components in one way or another. It is so important that the right equipment is chosen.
The success of your organization/business, your team, and satisfaction of your
customers will depend on having the right tools and technology for the job.
If corners are cut when purchasing your AV system and technology, not only will it be
frustrating for your staff, but likely you will see those negative results in your profit
margins.
Higher turnovers due to disgruntled / frustrated staff.
Presentation failures due to technical issues which in turn could lose a customer.
Wasted time with in-house – troubleshooting and maintaining AV equipment.
Less efficiency with staff spending valuable time trying to learn and understand how an
AV system works.
