Is your company taking full advantage of audiovisual technologies in digital workspaces?​

Taking advantage of audiovisual technologies and solutions is no longer an option for companies that want to maximize the work dynamics that come from new work styles (remote, hybrid, face-to-face). Collaborating with clients and work teams more efficiently, boosting productivity, more creativity, more accurate communication... These are some of the benefits that thousands of companies in Latin America are gaining by using videoconferencing platforms and videoconferencing equipment in their workspaces.

It is not surprising that, therefore, the audiovisual market (AV) business in Latin America is experiencing an accelerated evolution and growth numbers reflect it. Global revenues of the audiovisual integration industry will reach $422 million in 2029, all driven by the acceleration in the digitization of business and the adoption of advanced technologies such as cloud or Artificial Intelligence.

In this context, what audiovisual technologies can't be missing in your digital workspaces to take advantage of all the business benefits they provide? At Ricoh LATAM we explain them to you!

1. If your goal is to provide an optimal experience of both your hybrid and face-to-face teams and you need meetings to be smooth and uninterrupted, it is important to have innovative and more robust business collaboration solutions. For example, adopt video conferencing platforms with high-quality AV equipment, such as interactive displays and 4K cameras.

At Ricoh LATAM we are constantly developing state-of-the-art technology for digital workspaces, such as our high-resolution interactive displays, which enable easy information exchange. They are designed to develop, record, and share ideas visually in multiple locations and, thus, increase productivity in new work styles.

2. To improve internal communication, sharing relevant, dynamic and real-time information in common areas, it is important to visualize the use of digital signage. In recent years, this technology is growing in popularity, and many companies are using it for various applications beyond outdoor advertising. For example, they are implementing digital screens in their offices, stores, and factories, as these technologies allow sharing information according to business needs in real time.
3. To achieve improved operational efficiency and reduce manual intervention of audiovisual equipment, automation is required in AV infrastructure. To achieve these business benefits, in Ricoh LATAM we are visualizing that companies are adopting videoconferencing systems and other technologies that allow automatic management of their audiovisual equipment, such as switching on and off devices, scheduling events and adjusting sound and image parameters.

At this point, it is important to mention that artificial intelligence (AI) is beginning to be integrated into enterprise AV systems. Examples of its use include optimizing the quality of audio and video in video conferencing, predictive maintenance of equipment and systems, and the use of virtual assistants to help in the configuration of audiovisual equipment in meeting rooms.

4. To ensure the constant and seamless operation of your AV systems and intelligent rooms both on site and remotely, it is key to have specialized managed services in audiovisual. For example, with Ricoh AV Managed Services, organizations can have on-site and remote support for both audio and video tools and users.
