AV as a service (AVaaS) is a relatively new concept for the AV industry. In this episode of the Tech Simple podcast David and Jonathan are joined by Peter Tylor of PwC Australia. They discuss AVaaS in detail and cover what it is, the benefits, and the shortfalls. Peter leads the workplace technology team at PwC in Australia. He is effectively the owner of employee technology experience, which is something the firm takes very seriously. 

In this episode we firstly learn from Peter why AVaaS is so attractive to a large enterprise organisation when compared with the normal Cap Ex model of procuring and maintaining the technology. Amongst other reasons, he explains how the ever-shortening life cycles of AV technology and the key goal of guaranteeing the systems to “work first time and every time” for end users are the top drivers. In his view theis is why AVaaS is such a desirable model. 

AVaaS has some strong benefits for organisations to consider but at the same time there are limitations. These are discussed in the podcast. Specifically the discussion covers how the vendors in the AV industry could improve current offerings to make the AVaaS model more appealing. Similar to other technologies in the workplace that have mature aaS models in place already.  

Another remarkably interesting and relevant conversation, and we feel AVaaS will soon be commonplace in the AV industry.
