IVCi Changes the AV Business Again, This Time with Apps

Most probably think of it as “that videoconferencing company,” and that would be accurate, since when it was founded by Robert Swing nearly 20 years ago, it was one of the first AV enterprises to place at its foundation a business framed around those services.

The Secret to Surviving Audiovisual Commoditization
AV Network, October 6, 2014

Bosch DCN Conferencing Solutions Manages Meetings With High–Quality AV
February 4, 2014
Expertise in conferencing systems is rarely a selection criterion for members of public boards, commissions and agencies, nor is there typically a budget for ongoing AV support personnel at meetings. So it’s not enough for a conferencing system targeted at these types of applications to meet high standards for technical performance; the system must also be designed for trouble-free operation by people who are not A/V professionals. That’s one reason that Tempest Technologies of Issaquah, WA chose to build its winning conferencing system bid for the Board Room at the Puget Sound Regional Council in Seattle around the DCN Next Generation Conference Solution from Bosch.
