  • Next Gen Digital

    Next-Gen Digital Technology for Remote Working, Learning & Managed Services

    In this new Introba report, we examine how the AV industry is changing rapidly. The siloed approaches of the past no longer meet clients’ evolving expectations around being able to monitor and maintain AV systems while considering cybersecurity, scalability, reliability, and flexibility. Instead, there is a growing need and demand for AV software to keep pace with emerging requirements.
