@chris_neto All of the above, plus reliability, knowledge and working together instead of box shifting #AVinTheAM

Q5 In a standardized AV environment, what becomes the new competitive advantage: speed, service, insight, or something else? #AVintheAM #AVtweeps

@chris_neto Not necessarily, it's a factor and can help but integrators should be offering much more #AVinTheAM

Q4 As AV solutions become more packaged and repeatable, does efficiency become the integrator's new business model? #AVinTheAM #AVtweeps

@chris_neto In a way yes but it also has pretty big benefits, some don't care about the tech anymore only the outcomes, lead with that #AVinTheAM

Q3 Does commoditization of hardware push the AV industry toward a services-first model rather than a hardware-first one? #AVintheAM #AVtweeps

@chris_neto Massive, it makes you relevant, saves £££ and can be a huge USP against those who don't offer it, we all know the margin of kit has gone but service and recurring revenue has not. and that's without even mentioning the benefits to the customers #AVinTheAM

Q2 How important are metrics, monitoring, and analytics (a logical “side effect”) when managing standardized AV environments across dozens or hundreds of rooms? #AVintheAM #AVtweeps

@chris_neto You don't, you're cutting your nose off to spite your face if you do, both have their place and if you don't show yourself to be willing and accommodate then you lose out. #AVinTheAM

Q1 Where do you draw the line between standardization that helps us scale as an industry and commoditization that begins to erode perceived value for the work we do?#AVinTheAM #AVtweeps

@chris_neto AV as a whole, the UK felt oddly slow this year, lots of spending cuts/freezes #AVinTheAM

Q4 What challenge tested you the most this year, and how did it shape the way you lead this year? #AVinTheAM #AVtweeps

@chris_neto None, it will all be the same, good tech would be minimal and under the radar, the biggest noise will be another VideoBar marketed as the one size fits all and more manufacturers will like their arses off #AVinTheAM

Q5 Looking ahead to the new year, what opportunity are you cautiously optimistic about in AV? #AVinTheAm #AVtweeps

@chris_neto Don't do it #AVinTheAM

Q1 What lesson from this year would you “wrap up” and gift to someone new entering the AV industry? #AVinTheAM #AvTweeps

@chris_neto 😳

Oh Dammmmmmn 😲 #StrangerThings5 #Thanksgiving

@mogabr Stupid, but would we have it any other way? 🤣🤣

At airport extra early cause of delays, and someone told me they’ve been waiting since Saturday. Deep down I really hope they’re lying to me. Also is flying with air traffic control in disarray smart or stupid? Spent last week making sure my affairs were in order. 😳😬

@chris_neto @ChewieDaWookiee Yeah, sat in a bar in Vegas, great night.

Today #AvinTheAm topic: "PM in AV" #Avtweeps

@NoelOnTech @mogabr Or is that not reliable and not interesting? 🤷🏼‍♂️

@NoelOnTech @mogabr Bullshit, I'm reliable and interesting!!!! 🤣🤣

Reliability isn’t boring. It’s what makes curiosity matter. “Interesting” without follow-through is just noise. I’ll take reliability.

@NoelOnTech have you ever seen anything so beautiful? 🤣🤣😍

@chris_neto @Rhyno_24 @AVPhenom You may regret posting this, it could come back to haunt you 🤣🤣
