2. WORKPLACE COLLABORATION PLAYBOOK –
Solutions for Every Budget and Application

Collaboration technologies have forever changed “the meeting:” boardroom sessions, shareholder meetings, weekly report meetings, department meetings, meetings between coworkers, employee training, company-wide/worldwide presentations, and the list goes on. But every collaboration situation does not need the same technology solution. Learn where you can save money, where it is necessary to allocate the most funds, and how to get the most from a limited budget. A leading AV/IT expert will guide you through technology choices for various use-case scenarios such as to help you determine what you need from basic low-cost video-chat technologies to teleconferencing and videoconferencing to telepresence rooms.

Workbook 2: Delivering the Best Live Sound Experience for Indoor Spaces

Listen Up. Audio is as much of an art as it is a science. In the world of integrated audio systems, there is no “one-size-fits-all.” And yet, AV and IT managers are expected to magically appear at a corporate theater, boardroom, or college campus, clip mics on presenters, adjust goosenecks, and ensure a solid sound performance. A good technician needs to know how sound systems work and understand parametric equalization in order to eliminate unwanted ringing. Loudspeaker system design, room acoustics, and the interplay among them are highly complex, but there are essentials every manager must understand. Think of this Workbook as your “sound reference” for distributed audio applications, live sound best practices, and every decibel in between.
