How to Simplify Multi-Vendor Collaboration Technology Management

Thu, 09 Jul 2026 14:00:00 -0400

In this episode of The Collaboration Space podcast, you'll see how Symphony brings together multi-vendor collaboration technology for proactive monitoring, analytics, and simplified IT management.

Laurie Berg walks us through a live demo that illustrates how the Symphony platform enables IT teams to maintain consistent experiences across meeting spaces. She shows examples of integrations with Logitech, Legrand AV, and Q-SYS devices and software.

Schedule a Symphony demo for your IT team.

Symphony allows IT teams to monitor devices holistically, tracking status, packet loss, and performance. This functionality helps resolve issues immediately or address them before they impact end users.

Laurie also shares how integrating with leading technology providers saves IT leaders time and fixes issues before they impact end users.

Logitech: Symphony integrates with Logitech Sync Cloud Aggregator to monitor aggregated devices, such as the Rally Bar Mini. This also gives you visibility into individual components like mic pods and device health.
Legrand AV: Symphony manages Middle Atlantic UPS systems and PDUs, tracking metrics like battery capacity, ping latency, and voltage per outlet.
Q-SYS: Symphony integrates with Q-SYS Reflect, enabling monitoring of direct devices such as the Core 500i. This connection also provides firmware and uptime data that aids in tactical and strategic troubleshooting.

By maintaining a comprehensive ticket history, Symphony helps teams identify recurring trends (e.g., specific times or environmental conditions), which supports strategic planning and resource optimization.

How Symphony communicates with your devices

Symphony can connect to any IP-addressable device, either directly or through manufacturer aggregators.
Integration is achieved through public APIs and, when necessary, SNMP OIDs.

The selection of partners and development of "adapters" is driven by customer demand, trade show trends, and a formal research and testing process.

Creating Consistent Collaboration Experiences in Every Space with Neat

Fri, 08 May 2026 13:00:00 -0400

Before we dive in, sign up here for the May 12, 2026, webcast that we mentioned.

Now on to our discussion...

In this podcast episode, we explore what truly drives a consistent meeting room experience, and why simplicity, not over‑engineering, is the key to adoption.

The conversation highlights how Neat’s consistent product portfolio, paired with built-in machine learning and AI, creates intuitive, reliable experiences for both in-room and remote participants.

Learn more about Neat solutions.

The “Secret Sauce” of Consistency

Neat’s approach is rooted in two foundational elements:

Consistent factors across Neat bars and boards, creating a familiar look and feel in every space.
Machine learning and AI run behind the scenes to automatically optimize audio and video—whether a room uses a single device or multiple Neat devices for enhanced experiences in larger spaces.

The result: better audio, better video, and a seamless experience without added complexity.

Designed for the Way People Actually Meet

Rather than over-engineering meeting rooms, Neat focuses on what users actually want:

Walk into the room
Tap “Join” on the touch pad
Start the meeting

Too often, complex rooms with multiple controllers, phones, cables, and presets discourage use altogether.

Scalable, Without Complexity

Neat enables organizations to:

Establish a standardized room experience
Easily scale and enhance rooms by adding multiple Neat devices
Avoid manual camera presets, audio tuning, or configuration changes

Once devices are added, Neat’s intelligent technology handles the rest—automatically.

Extending the Experience to Remote Participants

Consistency doesn’t stop at the room; it extends to remote workers as well. With Neat devices like Neat Frame, remote participants benefit from:

Easy meeting join experiences
High-resolution video and automatic framing
Clear audio that makes it feel like you’re in the room
Improved engagement through facial expressions and direct conversation, even in large meetings
Whether at a desk, in a private office, a hot‑desking location, or a huddle space, the experience remains consistent everywhere.

Visibility, Insight, and Readiness

We also touch on how organizations can understand whether their spaces are being used and ready when needed, using:

Neat Pulse for device and space insights
Integration with Symphony for enhanced monitoring and management

Shazam! Your AV/IT Insights Wish List Granted

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 10:00:00 -0400

In this episode of The Collaboration Space, we share how IT’s role continues to evolve, including sharing more insights into how and where we work and the spaces we use. Specifically, we’ll dive into how workplace automation and analytics help your real estate and facilities teams make informed decisions. We’ll also talk about how to get started.

Joining this discussion is Henry Levak from Logitech

Henry and host Nancy Lussier discuss:

How IT’s role is changing and how that drives the need for different insights that show the results of technology investments.

Explosion of meeting room tech
Pressure to justify budgets
Hybrid work uncertainty
How Executives want measurable outcomes, not anecdotes

This shifts IT’s role from deploying AV/UC hardware to optimizing experiences.

With this convergence of AV and IT, what’s on the insights wish list?

Rooms aren’t passive hardware anymore. They’re active sources of intelligence. You can see utilization patterns, booking behavior, environmental conditions, and device health, things that used to be invisible.

Facilities teams want utilization data. Real estate wants occupancy trends. Leadership wants to know how space investments are performing. IT sits at the center of that ecosystem.

You can measure utilization rates, space efficiency, cost per meeting, energy savings, and support reductions.

Suddenly, AV isn’t a cost center. It becomes a performance asset.

Data that shows visibility into user behavior
Room and device usage/utilization
Proactive room and device health monitoring
Space efficiency
Energy usage
Support tickets/service visits

How do we gather this data?

Sensors + analytics = visibility into behavior

How does this data translate to value for facilities and real estate teams?

Data-based decisions for optimal space design
Higher tech adoption and space utilization/ROI
Better workplace experience/employee productivity, and retention
Ability to identify issues before users are impacted/self-healing
Room automation: scheduling, sleep mode, auto-release unused rooms
Smart sustainability/energy savings: automated HVAC/heating/cooling/lights

How to Keep an Audience Engaged During a Meeting and Beyond

Mon, 17 Oct 2022 16:00:00 -0400

Tyler Rittenhouse, Regional Sales Director at Newline joins us in this episode of The Collaboration Space podcast. Tyler shares his insights with host Nancy Lussier, including:

How can we get people’s attention and keep their eyes where we want them?
- Encourage interactivity: Bring the consumer experience into the B2B meeting room
- Make the display the focal point of the meeting
- Use bright screens that are easy to use, swipe and annotate

How can we keep teams engaged throughout the meeting? i.e., limit multitasking, not paying attention
- Whiteboarding: it’s a living document that gets attention and helps everyone work on problem solving together

More whiteboarding benefits:
- Everyone shares ideas during the meeting
- You can call people up to the board
- Send notes out while ideas are still fresh
- Collaboration continues after the meeting ends, and you can bring up the whiteboard in the next meeting and keep working
- Encourage engagement, info retention, and follow-up

What makes Newline solutions different?
- Non-proprietary/interoperability: use your preferred meeting platform, whiteboarding software, and annotation tools like pens
- This makes these solutions easy to use so you can call people up to the board to encourage engagement, info retention, and follow-up
- Newline boards work like giant laptops

Ensuring positive on-site meeting and learning experiences with quality audio

Mon, 10 Oct 2022 14:00:00 -0400

With the explosion of remote work, we were concerned about the experience of those working or learning from home. Now, it’s about anywhere work. We’re back in the office and on campus, at least part time. Collaboration spaces are occupied, and the focus is shifting toward the on-site experience.

Shure’s Richard Knott visits The Collaboration Space to explore why quality audio IN the room is essential, especially in larger spaces.

Tyler shares insights about the current meeting experience now that most of us are back in the office and on campus at least a few days a week.

RTO is a challenge. Why leave the comfort of your home where connecting to a meeting is easy? The return to work experience must be inviting; otherwise, what’s the incentive to go?
People have high expectations about their office experiences.
Workplaces are changing; meeting spaces must be flexible to accommodate different-sized groups.
This includes everyone from corporate to government agencies to colleges and universities.

How can technology help here?

Everyone needs to hear each other in the room: provide great audio that also helps remote participants listen to what’s happening.
Not everyone will sit next to a microphone or camera in larger spaces.
Proper microphone choices and placement can ensure speech is picked up throughout the room.
Using systems that link cameras and microphones help ensure the best coverage.

AVI SPL Microsoft Teams Lifecycle Services

Mon, 03 Oct 2022 14:00:00 -0400

Earlier this year, Microsoft reported that Microsoft Teams usage has exploded to over 270 million active users. That means more rooms and more devices to keep up and running, and more users to support that must have a positive experience.

At the same time, change is constant in the new workplace, and Microsoft is changing to keep up. We see organizations needing to enable more workspaces to support anywhere work. This can leave IT teams overburdened. Do you have the capacity to keep up?

In this episode of The Collaboration Space, AVI-SPL’s Karen Klosinski joins Nancy Lussier to chat about how we help you plan for a successful Microsoft Teams launch or upgrade. Topics include ways to address current Microsoft changes, keep end users happy, and be ready for what’s next in 2023 and beyond.

Karen notes that changes come with complexity. Customers must consider the systems and rooms they have in place and how Microsoft Teams or the latest Teams services fit into their environment. Our service team can help you manage the Teams lifecycle (plan, deploy and optimize Teams integration) in the ever-changing landscape.

We also discuss our new Microsoft Teams Consulting Workshop, its goals, and how it can help make projects successful no matter where you are in the lifecycle. The workshop helps you plan for:

· Network/security/IP addressing/account provisioning

· Standards for room design.

· How to monitor and manage assets, equipment, and user experience

AVI-SPL is always looking ahead, so we’re ready to pivot when needed to help our customers. A recent example is the changes in MTR Premium license changes. AVI-SPL worked with Microsoft to develop our new MTR Pro Tier II Support service add-on to build a bridge to successful collaboration via Teams.
