International. The most important pillars for any economic activity are the education and training of its members, aspects that InfoComm, the global commercial association of the professional audiovisual and information communication industry, carries out for the members of the institution and the industry. Likewise, Biam Systems, in accordance with its high commitment to learning, evolution and training in technology, is once again present in the audio and video industry by making a partnership with InfoComm and EMS for the implementation of two essential training programs for contractors in the sector.This learning plan also teaches its participants both technical and interpersonal skills that are required by the audio and video industry. After this training took place, eight industry leaders interviewed the participants in order to open up new opportunities and job positions in their companies.
Another of the programs sponsored by Biamp is the InfoComm Academy course of advanced AV design in Johannesburg, South Africa, co-produced by EMS Africa and InfoComm Africa, in conjunction with AV Specialist magazine. This av advanced design course, consisting of three modules, lasting three days, provides information on specific knowledge, as well as training best practices in new and emerging techniques and technologies.
For the first module, developed in October 2007, EMS Africa hosted the 30 experienced VA professionals and the four university students who were part of the course. In the same way it was in the second event developed in March and it will be in the tecero that will take place in May of this year.
According to Biamp's vice president of business development, Steve Metzger, the optimal performance of its technologies ultimately depends on the skills of the integrator, which is why the company is working closely with integrators in order to design and build products that respond to the needs of professionals and users. He also states that due to the importance of education and training of professionals, the company has joined the educational work of InfoComm and EMS Africa.
For his part, the executive director of InfoComm Randal A. Lemke, believes that Biamp has understood that the work of companies in the industry is not only to create new products and develop technologies, but the construction of systems in concensus with the community of integrators, consultants, architects and end users. "Biamp has a broad vision and deep commitment to education and training, making her a prominent member of InfoComm. "
Dennis Feldman, Managing Director of EMS Africa, says that training and education are as important as product characteristics and specifications. "Digital audio and video technologies present integrators and their consumers with limitless opportunities to improve communication, collaboration and expression, but without full sales and support training, the true potential rarely materializes. At EMS Africa, we take a holistic approach that includes products, services, support and training and as such offers its customers the best value and a greater opportunity to achieve coherent integration."
