Commercial Integrator April 2023 - 47
A Cottage Industry
Industry veteran Fons compares commercial
AV's origins to a " cottage industry. " He
explains, " There are a lot of people who
would like to keep [the AV industry] little.
I love the cozy feel of it. " But Fons makes
clear that he's not among those who don't
want commercial AV to " grow up " and mature.
" I believe that with a mature industry
comes better alignment with education
programs, " he says, noting that education
offerings for audiovisual integrators aren't
as robust as they need to be. Fons also
echoes a common lament that, right now,
there aren't enough education institutions
from which students can graduate with
a degree of some kind in AV. Although a
few institutions offer pathways to cultivate
audiovisual experts, they're not numerous
and many people don't know they exist.
" [As an industry], we have a way to go, "
Fons says candidly.
There's no better time than now to
make those adjustments because, as Fons
explains, he foresees ample opportunity
for integration businesses as enterprises
continue to transform their footprint.
" I've seen it happen in other industries, "
Fons describes. " Where a company like
Microsoft, for example, takes an interest
in the boardroom. They double their footprint,
and, in a 30-day timeframe, [they're
deploying] many Teams rooms. " He
continues, " I believe we're on the verge of
something happening in our industry that
we have never seen. Integration companies
that have a really strong foothold
should be in good shape. "
PTG is " all in " on a new era, well positioned
to pivot into and profit from whatever
tomorrow's industry looks like. It's
not only a fantastic company culture that's
a magnet for talent but also a leadership
team that truly values its staffers and
seeks to give them every advantage. In
so doing, PTG's clients reap the rewards
of working with a motivated, inspired
company. CI
Words of
Wisdom
from
PTG's
Lynn
Matson
1. Ignorance is bliss - it means you're
not afraid.
2. If you care for your employees,
employees will take care of the
customers, and the customers will
take care of the business.
3. Being the biggest technology
integration company doesn't
necessarily mean you're the best.
4. If you're having fun while you're
working, it doesn't feel like work.
5. If you don't have to face
challenges, you're not learning.
