Accurately Forecast Budget Requirements with M3 Vision

Like most unexpected disruptions in business, AV equipment failures can arrive at the most inopportune times. You’re in the midst of a massive presentation to multiple stakeholders or holding a video conference session with one of your top clients when suddenly the video freezes, or the microphone array stops picking up the audio. 

After an event like this occurs, you can be sure that someone in the organization is looking into maintenance and servicing for the critical audiovisual systems. In addition to missed opportunities and a damaged reputation, AV equipment failures can result in major expenses attributed to parts, repairs, and replacements. 

There is, however, a way to help mitigate the impact AV equipment failures have on a company and its budget. M3 Vision budgeting takes the pressure off and enables your team to forecast budget requirements accurately. 

Here, we’ll explore how M3 vision helps you keep your budget on track.  Read more

The Ultimate Guide to New & Improved Video Conferencing

Did you know that the typical lifecycle for video conferencing systems is 3-5 years? This figure usually surprises our clients since the newest displays have a lifespan of up to 7 years, and products like speakers and amplifiers remain updated for 10 years or longer. 

Why the shorter lifespan, then? 

As with most industries, technological advancements seem to be occurring daily. Turn around, and a system or software requires an upgrade. Conference room AV is one of the industries on the quickest growth trajectory. These systems also rely on software updates and compatibility compliance with platforms like Teams and Zoom. 

So, the question is, when was the last time you upgraded your conference room?

Staying abreast of needed upgrades is challenging even with the best IT department. Here are some suggestions from M3 Technology Group.
