On the surface, building separate networks for AV and IT may seem like the easy choice. End users see risk in adding AV functionality to their IT network. AV integrators are fearful of interacting with the client's IT network. But there are hidden risks in installing these shadow networks.
- Who owns them?
- Who is responsible for security on them?
- And who is monitoring and managing them to ensure reliability?

He claims we should be focusing on building products that IT will welcome onto their network, so we can enjoy true convergence. Is this a world that we as an industry are prepared to embrace? Or are we too stuck in our proprietary old ways? Tune in to find out!
