We work with businesses every day that are rethinking how their teams meet, share ideas, and stay connected across locations. As those needs change, the role of AV systems is becoming more central to how offices function. It’s no longer just about displays or video calls. It’s about creating spaces that support better collaboration with fewer disruptions. At i.e.Smart Systems, we focus on what works and what adds long-term value. Here are five AV trends we believe every business should be paying attention to right now.

Meetings are shifting. More teams are working in flexible environments, and the need for real-time communication has pushed many companies to rethink how their spaces support collaboration. Interactive AV systems are becoming a central part of that shift. These tools are more than just screens on the wall. They allow users to share content wirelessly, interact with digital whiteboards, and connect with remote participants - all without disruption. At i.e.Smart Systems, we’re seeing more of our clients invest in AV solutions that support a faster, more agile way to meet.

AI is playing a growing role in the workplace, helping offices run more efficiently through automation. From smart building management systems that optimize lighting and HVAC to AI-powered voice assistants and security solutions, these tools rely on real-time data and seamless communication. What often goes unnoticed is the physical infrastructure that makes all this possible: structured cabling. Without it, even the most advanced AI systems can struggle. At i.e.Smart Systems, we’ve seen how a strong cabling design is essential for unlocking the full potential of office automation powered by artificial intelligence.
