Hybrid Workplace AV: From Nice-to-Have to Mission-Critical
Since hybrid became the norm, staff expect meeting tech to launch as fast as a laptop call. Mark Mitchell (EY) explains why Hybrid Workplace AV now underpins talent retention, client trust and real-estate ROI. EY rooms that deploy proactive monitoring and three-click user journeys report 30% fewer support tickets and 40% faster meeting starts.
