As the school expands, we will be looking to work even closer with AMX to help deliver new innovative ideas and help design the latest state of the art AV installations.

AMX’s Resource Management Suite (RMS) allows Tom Bulatovic and his team to monitor and maintain teaching rooms, lecture theatres and their associated electronic devices, across the entire facility. Real-time monitoring and problem notifications allow resources and equipment to be maintained proactively, with automatic and routine checks being made to the system’s status. And, using its full reporting capabilities, the team can access instant, web-based analysis on a range of subjects; giving an unrivalled understanding of equipment, resource and energy usage, for optimum operating efficiency. By managing its resources in this way, London Business School‘s IT team can provide proactive support rather than

Thanks to AMX and London Business School’s ongoing commitment to technological advancement, this impressively specified facility continues to evolve. Recent additions have included a raft of new meeting rooms, flexible learning spaces and a number of new Group Rooms featuring Novara-led control. And, as analogue fades into the sunset and the AV industry moves towards all digital, this successful approach also paves the way for future development. “We have recently completed several new installations which support both analogue and digital formats and, as the school expands, we will be looking to work even closer with AMX to help deliver new innovative ideas and help design the latest state of the art AV installations. This will only succeed with the dedicated support which we currently experience with
