Investing in something that will never be used is not ideal. That is the goal, though, when dealing with emergency response and crisis management technology. In the unfortunate situation when it does need to be used, open communication can save lives, inventory, and the reputation of a brand.

Luckily, as technology has advanced, companies have the tools to be prepared unlike ever before. “Technology now allows us not only to reach you but make sure we reach you with the right message to the right people,” Daniel Wagstaff, CEO of Pocketstop said.

Pocketstop is a communication technology company that specializes in emergency awareness. Companies can provide reassurance to employees in emergencies by alerting them that they are not alone and that assistance is on the way through technology, which was not available even a decade ago.

However, making sure the proper information is communicated is still crucial. Eliminating speculation is as vital as providing safety updates and directions.

“We’re always communicating with authenticity, with transparency, to let people know, ‘we know this, we don’t know this, updates will be happening now.’ That provides, reassurance,” Wagstaff said. “Sometimes it’s what you don’t say, as much as what you do, that provides that level of insurance.”

Companies endure unique safety challenges and making sure employees can be contacted when it is needed most is perhaps the most essential business initiative one must execute, especially in today’s landscape.

How Bose Professional's 3.5 kg MA3 aims sound away from echoey ceilings

How Bose Professional's 3.5 kg MA3 aims sound away from echoey ceilings

Bose Professional launched the MA3 Micro Array, a passive modular speaker whose 3.5 kg boxes are angled to keep sound off echoey ceilings. Coverage control moves into the integrator's design. Splay angles, amplifier choice and a recommended 70 Hz high-pass filter decide results in houses of worship, classrooms and corporate rooms.

  • 01Each MA3 module covers just 5° vertically, so the angles set between boxes become the main control for keeping sound off reflective ceilings in reverberant rooms.
  • 02For a head-to-head spec review, ask for high-frequency vertical off-axis data: the MA3 and Martin Audio O-Line share 100° × 5° nominal coverage but use very different tweeter designs.

NTT DATA’s MRaaS spans design, support and recycling across the room lifecycle

NTT DATA’s MRaaS spans design, support and recycling across the room lifecycle

NTT DATA's Meeting Room as a Service brings room design, procurement, monitoring, support, refresh and recycling together under one model. Its Aon project in Brazil tripled videoconferencing capacity and lifted client meetings 50% over two years.

  • 01When a room fails, people tend to move rather than report it, so service desk tickets often miss the rooms that are actually broken. Centralized monitoring targets that gap.
  • 02Aon’s Brazil project tripled videoconferencing capacity and raised client meetings 50% over two years. It’s a vendor-reported reference point buyers can use when asking providers for comparable results.
  • 03The case for one lifecycle contract is strongest where each country picked its own vendors and integrators. A company that only needs utilization data can buy room analytics software without handing over the whole lifecycle.

AVIXA hands the CEO job to Informa tech events chief Marco Pardi

AVIXA hands the CEO job to Informa tech events chief Marco Pardi

AVIXA named Marco Pardi, President of the Tech Events portfolio at Informa, as CEO starting January 1, 2027. He succeeds David Labuskes. Pardi's background running IT shows suggests AV's overlap with IT will keep getting attention, though AVIXA has not committed to that. Watch AVIXA's 2027 show calendar and course catalog.

  • 01AVIXA's events and learning audiences overlap with incoming CEO Marco Pardi's experience; audience counts alone do not explain the board's priorities.
  • 02One read on the hire is whether IT-crossover training like Glass to Glass expands under Pardi.
