        Breaking Good: How Crestron Products are Tested

        January 13
        One of the aspects of Crestron products that make them truly unique is their ability to withstand all manner of abuse – which means they’ve got to be tested. Before a product is ready for prime-time, it gets baked. It gets frozen. It gets battered. It gets probed. It gets bugged and hacked. It gets put through the wringer in Crestron’s in-house electromagnetic chamber. Each machine – from hardware to firmware to software – is rigorously tested so that it’s one less thing you – and your clients – have to worry about.

        Maintaining Collaborative Cultures in a Post-Pandemic World, Part One: Intelligent Video

        January 4
        How do we maintain the collaborative parts of working in the office? How can we use technology to help stay connected even though a large part of an organization’s staff might be remote (even if it’s just part of the time)? Products and platforms can help, sure, but what’s beyond that – how do we leverage all of this stuff to help us connect? In part one of this two-part series, we examine “intelligent video” solutions.

So, it’s easy to forget that the best form of light is daylight. Well unless you recently had the experience I had while on vacation!

        Setting the home office up for success

        November 18
        Working from home will remain an option in many organizations. In fact, some of the world’s largest companies plan to keep remote work as a long-term business strategy, causing homeowners to have to evaluate the best setup for their home office space. Architects and developers are designing homes with dedicated home office spaces and more flexible designs to accommodate working and learning from home. This is true for both new builds, as well as retrofits where a home office space had not been necessary before.
