Managed Services

The IMS Managed Services Platform

Reliable collaboration starts before the meeting does.

A proactive managed services model that keeps every room ready before it’s needed, and accountable to leadership long after install day.

2025 Integrator of the Year ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Certified

Install Day Is Not the Finish Line.

Most AV programs are built to succeed on day one. Not day one thousand.

The hard part is not buying the room. The hard part is keeping every room reliable, visible, supported, and ready for the next budget cycle.

Year 1

It works. No one is watching it.

Year 2

Tickets pile up. IT becomes the de facto AV help desk.

Year 4

Refresh shows up as a surprise capital request, not a plan.

Any Day

A board meeting opens with “can someone fix the screen.”

None of this shows up on the original quote. All of it shows up in your budget and your IT team’s time.

Downtime Is Never Just a Screen Problem.

When a room fails, the cost shows up everywhere except the AV line item.

72%

Of employees say meetings are regularly delayed by technology or connection problems

Every late start is wasted executive time, lost momentum, and a room nobody trusts.

10 min

Routinely lost at the start of meetings to AV setup, connecting, and screen-share trouble

Multiply that across every room, every day, and the cost lands in payroll, not the AV invoice.

Reliability isn’t a convenience feature. It’s the difference between technology that supports the business and technology the business has to work around.

We Don’t Install AV. We Run It.

A performance partnership, not a project handoff.

We keep people connected, IT focused on strategy, and technology accountable to the value it was bought to deliver.

That’s the difference between a vendor and an operator.

Reactive AV

  • You find out a room is down when someone walks in to use it.
  • Every fix starts with a ticket and a wait.
  • Refresh planning happens after something breaks.
  • Reporting is a status update, not a record.

Managed by IMS

  • Rooms are monitored continuously, before anyone walks in.
  • Most issues are caught and resolved before a meeting starts.
  • Lifecycle and budget planning is built into the model.
  • Reporting is data leadership can use to make decisions.

Most AV Failures Are Predictable. That’s the Point.

The same handful of issues take down rooms again and again. In our model, each one has a defined owner.

Eight categories. Eight named responses. No grey area about who acts when something stops working.

Monitored

Power outages

Continuous monitoring flags the disruption immediately, not when someone walks in.

Lifecycle

Hardware failures

Aging components replaced on a schedule, not after they fail.

Standardized

Software & firmware

Standardized configurations reduce the variables that cause faults.

ISO Certified

Cybersecurity

27001-certified practices govern how connected systems are secured.

Staffed

Human error

Qualified specialists in the room for what matters most.

4Sight

Device sprawl

One view of every device, in every room, through centralized reporting.

Pre-checked

Room readiness

Health checks confirm rooms are meeting-ready before anyone walks in.

Owned

Unclear ownership

One accountable owner and a defined escalation path.

We Move. So You Don’t Have To.

Monitor, detect, resolve, report, recommend, refresh: a closed loop that runs without anyone in the room noticing.

The touchless model

If you have to think about your AV, it isn’t working hard enough yet.

We watch every room continuously and act before a meeting ever stalls.

The technology fades into the background. The user focuses on the meeting. IT focuses on strategy. Leadership focuses on the business.

Beyond Uptime

Reliable AV Is a Growth Lever, Not Just a Cost Center.

When meeting technology works, hybrid and in-person collaboration actually function the way they’re supposed to.

Faster decisions

Meetings that start on time and run without friction keep momentum on the things that actually move the business forward.

Stronger first impressions

Clients, candidates, and board members form an opinion of a company partly from how its technology performs in the room.

Less hidden IT cost

Every hour your IT team spends untangling a screen is an hour not spent on higher-value work.

Four Pillars. One Accountable Model.

Each pillar solves a different problem leadership actually has.

Sized to fit, not sized to sell. A five-room office gets the same operating discipline as a 500-room enterprise, just scoped to its budget.

CapEx, hybrid AVaaS, full AV-as-a-Service, or embedded staff. One owner, one model, one standard of accountability.

Foundation

Service & Support

We see the problem before you do.

24/7/365 monitoring with industry-leading response times. Tiers match coverage to what is actually mission-critical, not the other way around.

99.2%

Average uptime across managed environments

  • Fewer tickets reach the user
  • Predictable spend, not surprise invoices

Intelligence

Reporting / 4Sight

Evidence, not anecdotes, for the budget conversation.

Our proprietary monitoring platform turns AV from a reactive cost center into usage data, health analytics, and trend reports leadership can act on.

Evidence-based ROI

For every refresh and upgrade conversation

  • Real data to justify the next refresh
  • Usage analytics to right-size space

Human Layer

Staff Augmentation

Specialists you don’t have to recruit.

Onsite or remote, embedded or event-based, with defined scope, escalation, and IMS oversight, not a staffing agency placement.

No headcount

Predictable coverage without permanent hires

  • Every critical meeting is staffed
  • Internal IT freed for higher-value work

Lifecycle

AVaaS

One line item. Not a capital event.

Hardware, install, support, monitoring, and refresh, bundled into one operating cost. IMS owns the deployment and the upgrade path, not just the financing.

CapEx to OpEx

Budget alignment CFOs prefer

  • No five-year capital ambush
  • Technology stays current automatically
