In business, effective communication and collaboration is key. Whether your company has multiple offices around the country (or even around the world), remote employees that need to be kept in the loop, or strategic partners that require regular updates, you know the importance of having a video conferencing system that works every time and doesn’t require an IT professional to operate it.
Crestron is in the business of developing products for modern businesses that need easy-to-use and reliable technology for communication. Crestron outfits boardrooms, conference rooms, and huddle rooms all over the world with video conferencing tools that are designed with the end user in mind.
Some of their technology is ready to use right out of the box—with minimal set-up required. However, some companies require customized functionality that isn’t already programmed into the Crestron equipment. In these cases, a company needs to bring in a company that specializes in Crestron programming to give them the functionality they need.
Full Integration of a Building’s Systems with Crestron Programming
Crestron programming isn’t just for meeting rooms, however. Your buildings can use Crestron solutions to control and monitor a variety of systems throughout the facility—including its lighting, heating and cooling systems, security systems, automatic shades, and more.
Scheduling is also made simple with Crestron. Your employees can easily schedule a room for a meeting, or hybrid workers can schedule a time to work in-office, ensuring that there is a desk available for them when they arrive onsite.
The beauty of a Crestron system is that all of this functionality can be centralized. You don’t need multiple apps or control panels. Just a single system that anyone with permission can access.
Finding the Right Crestron Programming Company
The key to getting a great system in place is to work with a Crestron programming company with extensive experience in commercial environments (as opposed to one that only works on smart homes). You should also look for a company that prioritizes ease of use in its programming. It’s likely that not everyone at your company is tech savvy, but they may still need to be able to conduct an inter-office meeting using video conferencing, schedule a room for a strategy session, or lead a multi-media training session.
A company like AV Programming Associates (AVPA), with more than 20 years in the Crestron programming industry, can program a system that the average employee can operate using an easy-to-understand interface. AVPA is headquartered in Nevada, but works throughout the United States, and has even completed projects in other parts of the world.
When you work with an experienced and talented programming company, the behind-the-scenes programming will be very complex, but from the end user’s perspective, everything will be simple and intuitive, and that’s exactly how it should be.
