In House IT | DIY Looks Tempting… Until It Isn’t
We get it. You're tech-savvy, and your IT team is proficient. So, when a new AV project arises—like setting up a hybrid conference room or implementing digital signage across branches—it seems like a manageable in-house task. Right?
Hold that thought.
What begins as a straightforward setup can quickly spiral into a complex ordeal: latency issues, screen glitches, microphones picking up unwanted noise, and a project that consumes your team's valuable time. Not to mention the crucial Monday morning meeting where nothing functions as intended. Whats worse spending too much money on pieces you don't need or having a critical meeting interupted by AV issues?
Creation Networks does this every day and we stand behind all of our work no matter how big or small the task. Be sure you have the best maintenance and support plan possible. We recomend one of Creation Networks custom support plans.
1. Overestimating Technical Expertise
Your team is undoubtedly skilled, but AV systems present unique challenges distinct from typical IT infrastructure. It's not just about connecting cables; it's about understanding signal flow, latency correction, and ensuring compatibility across various devices.
For instance, integrating a Microsoft Teams Room requires more than just hardware—it demands precise configuration to ensure seamless communication. (The Best AV Equipment to Have in a Conference Room - AV Designers)
