The Numbers Don’t Lie

InfoComm 2022 may be merely a week away, but we still need to look at the news coming out of the commercial side of the AV industry. Joining us this week is the Director of Business Strategy & Alliances for Starin Marketing Malissa Dillman and Biamp’s Director of Consultant Relations Bill Nattress.

Kramer has undertaken a new logo as well as a new vision for the future at ISE 2022. Their new outlook is intent on meeting the modern needs of the end-user and focusing on the always-on collaborative needs of the hybrid space. Having started in 1981, it is not entirely unprecedented for a company like Kramer to have a rebrand. What will this mean for the company as they continue without someone with the Kramer family name behind them? Discussing the time for rebranding and shifting goals and what it will mean for the new Kramer.

So what is the importance of ‘Big Data’ on the AV industry?
