Hello everybody! Welcome to the second ProAV newsletter of the year! Last time, Gary Kayye mentioned how very excited we all are to be out of 2020. That entire year was a yikes. But now, we’re looking forward and anticipating everything that this year has to offer. We’re getting our heads in the game!
— This newsletter includes a great piece by Alexis La Broi, who writes about her experience winning an award several years ago — and how her past company’s reaction to her win made her realize that our industry has a long way to go in terms of blind spots.
— The second column is from yours truly, with a few highlights from a recent IDC/Poly report that found offices are going to stick with the remote/hybrid route for the foreseeable future. The study looks at the U.S., Europe and Asia/Pacific. Take a look at how each region is making these decisions. I found it really interesting.
— Also, not to be that company that asks you to take a survey, but also please take our survey. We want to keep delivering news that you care about — so think of this as your way of telling us how we can keep doing that. It takes about a minute, and for answering, you are put into the running for a $500 gift card!
— Finally, take a gander at Utelogy’s new Analytic Tiles insights tool for its U-Manage Dashboard, new upgrades from BlueJeans, Visix’s new media player and more!
