@AV_JamesKing@TheAVNetworkGuy@chris_neto Pretty sure that ship has sailed. MS is in the software & services business. 3rd party hardware is someone else’s problem. Except for specialty spaces MS has eliminated complexity from majority of their solutions. #AVinTheAM
@chris_neto Programming is mostly logic & syntax, the best #AVTweeps I worked with thought in code to solve problems. GUI design is a mix of art & science. We’re already seeing AI do both, natively. Definitely 2 very different areas of expertise. AV experience not required #AVinTheAM
@chris_neto The software giants bring a consistent UX across desktops, mobile & room solutions. It’s not about the cool toys and look what we can do. AV provides tools to communicate & collaborate, tech is secondary and needs to work consistently, it is the experience #AVinTheAM
@chris_neto OFE is a four letter work. My favorite was the OFE rack in an executive board room. Client saves $500 and integrator spends thousands extra to build onsite. Never a good idea. #AVinTheAM
@chris_neto Last rear projection I worked on was 2015 during a digital upgrade. Original build was about 10 years prior. Might still be in use but assume someone built a wall and put up a 86” LCD panel by now. #AVinTheAM
Confession time: we’ve been hiding something. 🤐
And now, with our friends at @Steelcase, we’re almost ready to reveal our little secret.
We want you to be there when we do. See you in Barcelona.

@chris_neto Congratulations @chris_neto & #AVinTheAM#AVTweeps. Great way to get down & dirty talking AV. No matter where I am, Sunday morning, coffee in hand, it’s my time to listen & learn. Sometimes comment. Appreciate fresh perspective from all & global participants. Thank you
With the acquisition, @ExertisAlmo customers can access dedicated experts, while Caddrillion customers can leverage financial resources and #supplychain logistics. #avtweeps https://t.co/bBcYbsISgL
Wanted to let the #AVTweeps know that I am looking for a full time position, ideally in objectively testing UC and AV products and services. Any help and amplification would be greatly appreciated. #AVintheAM@NJDavidD@chris_neto@JosiahWay@EvanKirstel
@birneyconsult @chris_neto Excellent plan, see you in the metaverse. Going to need #avtweeps to support all those virtual performance spaces, meetings and conventions. If major AV manufacturers can stop shipping hardware & go virtual, why not all of us? What can go wrong? #AVinTheAM
@chris_neto@avlaborcorp@Iffsi#AVtweeps not all in agreement on this. AV industry depends on commercial real estate, business, schools, you know, workplaces. Instead of saying no longer necessary, we can all work remote. How about asking how we make workplaces better using technology? #AVinTheAM
@chris_neto Does making the most experienced technician a manager work? Usually not, best managers will walk in techs shoes. Have active interest & fully understand roles, success criteria & potential. Embrace, don’t fear better than you promotes growth of all. #AVinTheAM
@chris_neto Take @stevegreenblatt Understanding Personality Types class. Correctly match knowledge & talent to skills. Does an engineer sell or salesperson program? Building a band or an av team, put the voices in the right section, watch ‘em make beautiful music together. #AVinTheAM
@chris_neto One main difference is clients. Commercial other than hospitality is a business with a weekday schedule with set T&Cs. Resi is personal, someone’s house with personal things in closets, attics, basements, not public spaces. Hours, nights & weekends for key activities. #AVinTheAM
Ricoh USA Inc. has acquired @CeneroAV to further unleash the power of hybrid work experiences with innovative #AV, #UC and #ITsolutions. Improving comms & driving productivity translates into better business agility for enterprises. Stay tuned for more!

@chris_neto Follow the golden rule and invoke the no asshole rule. Work with people you like & like you. Find your motivation, earn respect, get results. Building a team to build AV is hard work. #AVinTheAM#avtweeps#hiring
