Gathering needs for the right office AV solutions in your business. In this episode of The Tech Simple Podcast, we sit down with Pujan Doshi-Dowsett. He is the Product Owner for meeting spaces and video conferencing (VC) technology at IAG, one of the largest insurance groups. Pujan shares invaluable insights from a client-side perspective on gathering the correct end-user needs and requirements for office AV solutions in a business setting. He dives deep into the critical questions stakeholders should consider: What role does VC play in the organization? How important is hybrid work? How capable is the support team for AV systems? These questions form the bedrock of understanding and developing a clear profile of the client to avoid costly guesswork.

Pujan emphasizes the importance of extracting true needs from three main user groups: everyday AV users, executive leadership, IT and operations support teams. Together we discuss the often-competing needs of these groups and how to prioritize them. The goal is to deliver AV office solutions that satisfies everyone across the business. The support team’s preferred outcome is usually uniformity and minimal performance issues. Many end users often prioritise customization and flexibility in the office AV. Executive leadership often seek alignment with major technology partners and hybrid work strategies. The key is finding the right balance tailored to each organization, which Pujan explains.

Undergoing a through needs assessment process is the foundation to achieving success. Pujan also highlights the importance of ongoing communication channels with various user groups.

BONUS TOPIC!!! we explore the integration of AV technology with physical spaces. Pujan emphasizes the need for standards in lighting, acoustics, and furniture to create an optimal meeting environment.
