Felix Media Solutions (FMS) CEO Lionel Felix recently spoke with Commercial Integrator magazine about his recent experience at the Total Tech Summit (TTS) held in Orlando, Florida.
Citing the event as a valuable opportunity to catch up with key suppliers, industry partners, new vendors and other commercial audio-visual enthusiasts, Felix said, “My peers [and I] get to talk about things no one else [we] grew up with or are married to can really relate to.”
Felix called it “a real treat” to catch up with old friends at the event in addition to creating new relationships to carry the Austin-based company forward, noting a new partnership with Sharp NEC Display Solutions.
At the event, Felix joined other panelists on stage to discuss “Digital AV: The IT Side of AV.” Felix drew on the success of FMS as well as his own experience in the IT industry before making the leap to commercial AV to share his expertise on issues such as cybersecurity, networking, working from home, and AVoIP. In fact, FMS was started with the goal of merging IT experience and AV design to create a seamless client experience, Felix said.
“Felix Media Solutions was started by IT people who looked at [common AV solutions] in conference rooms and said, ‘There has to be a better way.’ We’re able to take on some of the biggest projects in Austin with a focus on conference, all-hands, and training rooms across all types of UC platforms” because of this knowledge, he explained.
He went on to say one benefit to clients that FMS offers because of that mastery is simplicity; FMS examines potential IT issues in its AV design solutions to improve the user experience and user interface, allowing the client to use the fullest functionality of their space with the least trouble. “We really put a premium on client experience,” he said.
This year’s TTS event was in-person, something Felix said he found crucial to nurturing working relationships. “We really get to dive in. It just isn’t the same over Zoom,” he said. “[Attending] TTS is part of what makes Felix Media Solutions a leader.”
