    Ep 34: The Business of AV - Solving Support & Maintenance Problems with Faye Bennett

    This video is an interview with Faye Bennett, founder of Faye Bennett Consultancy Services, on the Digital Signage Explored podcast. Faye discusses her company's unique focus on the operational and support phases of AV projects, working with a range of clients from end-users to manufacturers and systems integrators. The conversation covers key trends and pain points in the AV industry, including the shift from traditional break-fix models to more comprehensive, data-driven support strategies. Key Discussion Points A Unique Consultancy Niche: Faye explains how her consultancy fills a gap in the AV market by focusing exclusively on support, maintenance, and operational efficiency rather than design and specification. The Evolving Landscape of AV Support: The discussion highlights how factors like the rise of SaaS, AV over IP, and the push for better user experience (UX) have made AV support more complex and crucial than ever. Solving Client Pain Points: Faye details the common challenges clients face, such as poor service from providers, the need to justify technology investments, and the pressure to align AV strategy with broader business goals like sustainability and return-to-office (RTO) mandates. The Role of Data and AI: The conversation touches on how data analysis and AI can be game-changers for AV service operations. These tools can identify trends, improve efficiency, and help businesses make smarter decisions about their technology and real estate. Sweating Assets: Faye introduces the concept of "sweating assets," which means maximizing the lifespan of existing technology to reduce waste and align with sustainability goals.
