In today’s fast-paced business environment, efficient communication and collaboration technologies are crucial for a company’s success. Businesses also demand implementation periods to be short and trouble-free. Many companies are turning to advanced technologies, such as Crestron or Polycom equipment, to streamline operations and enhance communication channels. But what happens when you can’t get the product?

Product lead time is one of the most underestimated and impactful challenges companies face when implementing new technologies. We’ve all heard about the dreaded supply chain or the lack of a supply chain! We thought these supply chain problems would ease in our new, post-pandemic world, but these issues persist. Increased global demand, logistical bottlenecks, and shortages in advanced microchips and other core components are some of the factors affecting technology product lead times. These lead times can vary significantly depending on the type and complexity of the systems specified.

When designing and installing workplace technology like Zoom/Teams room systems, it is essential to work with a company with in-depth product knowledge, lead time awareness, and flexibility. Longer than planned lead times and unexpected delays in a critical system delivery are project management nightmares. Unlike most workplace technology firms that focus on only a few technology products/solutions,  PLANNET is 100% independent, brand agnostic, and expert at navigating both the technology and technology supply chain. We provide personalized design solutions tailored to your unique requirements while sourcing the best technology available – from vendors that can deliver products based on your project schedule.

“In talking with the client, we determine the specific needs of the control systems, which will then narrow down options; the PLANNET team knows all the tradeoffs and options in choosing the best equipment and can communicate those with the client.”
– Danny Kim, Technology Architect.

Implementing these advanced technologies can enhance communication and collaboration within your organization. However, working with a company that can provide personalized solutions tailored to your unique needs while delivering within the shortest possible lead times is essential. Whether you need to upgrade your conference rooms, integrate new audiovisual systems, or streamline your communication channels, PLANNET understands that time is of the essence and works to ensure the systems are designed, delivered, and installed within the shortest possible time frame.
