If you know Applied Innovation for printers and copiers, you probably wouldn’t think to call us for audio visual solutions when your conference room refuses to cooperate.
The screen won’t connect.
Nobody can hear the person joining remotely.
Someone is crawling under the table looking for the right cable.
And the meeting that was supposed to start five minutes ago is now a group troubleshooting exercise.
Did you know Applied Innovation can help with that, too?
Yup. We do Audio Visual.
And it goes well beyond hanging a TV on the wall.
What Do Audio Visual Solutions Include?
When we say audio visual solutions, we’re talking about the technology that helps your people meet, communicate, collaborate and share information—without needing someone in the room who knows which combination of three remotes makes everything work.
Applied can help design, install and support AV solutions including:
- Conference rooms – From smaller huddle spaces to executive boardrooms, with video, audio and one-touch meeting capabilities.
- Room scheduling – Displays outside meeting spaces that show availability and connect with Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace.
- Digital signage – Centrally managed screens for announcements, company communications, emergency messaging and more.
- Video walls and custom AV – Larger visual environments for lobbies, training rooms, command centers and other spaces where one screen just isn’t going to cut it.
- Security cameras and access control – Surveillance, monitoring, visitor management and access solutions designed to work alongside your existing technology environment.
So yes, the same Applied you call about your printers can also help you build a conference room that actually starts the meeting when you push the button.
Who knew?
Better Conference Room Technology Means Less Troubleshooting
The meeting shouldn’t start with, “Can everyone see my screen?”
We’ve all been there.
The meeting starts at 10:00.
At 10:03, someone is trying to figure out why the camera isn’t working.
At 10:06, the remote attendees still can’t hear anyone.
And by 10:08, someone says the words no meeting wants to hear:
“Maybe we should just send everyone the deck.”
The technology in a meeting space should make collaboration easier, not become the first agenda item.
Applied designs conference room systems that support platforms like Microsoft Teams and Zoom, with one-touch controls, clear audio, intelligent camera framing and clean, integrated setups.
The goal isn’t to make your conference room more complicated.
It’s to make the technology something you don’t have to think about.
Audio Visual Solutions Go Beyond the Conference Room
This is usually where the second “Wait…you do that?” comes in.
Because audio visual can solve problems outside the meeting room, too.
Maybe employees are constantly interrupting meetings because they can’t tell whether a room is available.
Maybe your team is still printing signs every time there’s an announcement.
Maybe you have multiple locations and need an easier way to manage what appears on screens across all of them.
Maybe your lobby, training room or operations center needs something a little more impressive than a TV on a rolling cart.
Or maybe your physical security systems need an upgrade.
Those are AV conversations, too.
One Less Vendor to Figure Out
There’s another reason audio visual makes sense as part of Applied Innovation’s Technology offering: none of this technology really operates on its own anymore.
Your conference room connects to your network.
Your meeting platform may connect to Microsoft 365.
Your room scheduler connects to your calendar.
Your security cameras and access control systems need to align with your broader IT and cybersecurity environment.
Instead of treating each of those as a completely separate project, Applied can look at how the pieces work together, from discovery and design through installation and ongoing support.
Because adding new technology is great.
Adding five new vendors to manage it? Not quite as exciting.
So, Did You Know?
Applied Innovation does audio visual.
Conference rooms? Yup.
Digital signage? Sure do.
Room scheduling? Absolutely.
Video walls? You bet.
Security cameras and access control? Those too.
And if your only experience with Applied has been printers and copiers, that’s kind of the point of this series.
There may be a whole lot more we can help with than you realized.
So the next time your meeting room decides it doesn’t feel like meeting today, you know who else you can call.
