AVI-SPL: Building the Culture of Collaboration

It is “absolute magic” when one walks past the doors of the Boeing Collaboration Center at Arlington, VA, into the sprawling 7,500 square feet expanse. Behind the awe-inspiring customer experience of Boeing Collaboration Center is AVI-SPL, a trailblazer in the AV industry that combines the audio, video, and control systems into a single user interface, enabling Boeing’s customers to interact with the smallest 7 inch displays to enormous video walls. The idea of bringing forth an opportunity for customers “to experience Boeing in a way that they have not seen before” has been a hit for the company, thanks to AVI-SPL. “We take the time to understand the way organizations currently work and what steps it is going to take to achieve unparallel customer experience. After that, we recommend a system design or go further and specify a comprehensive set of solutions that will provide the most benefit to the organizations,” says John Zettel, CEO of AVI-SPL.

From meeting rooms to stadiums and control rooms to distance learning environments, AVI-SPL offers an end-to-end service framework for the design, build management, and support of AV and collaboration technology. The firm simplifies AV system control, monitors assets, and enables colleagues, customers, and vendors to work together through cloud-based video collaboration, without the intervention of an AV expert. Built on a web-oriented architecture, the firm’s intelligent framework effortlessly interacts with current and emerging interface technologies for real-time, ubiquitous, and mobile access of any meeting resource. AVI-SPL’s cornerstone technology is its Symphony Platform, which is specifically designed to monitor and manage AV collaboration systems, view real-time call statistics, run system diagnostics, launch video calls, schedule meetings as well as perform actionable analytics via a single interactive dashboard. By utilizing the Symphony interface, users can quickly visualize systems that are active and if a conference is launched properly, its system usage, success rate, and performance reports, regardless of the location and time.

From managing an AV presentation, international video conference to updating the digital signage, AVI-SPL has a unique control system to keep participants connected and in control.
