challenges faced by the davidson team

01

No as-builts for existing rooms and difficult to create them with existing tools

02

Existing tool’s database not good enough, missed out lot of product information.

03

No centralized workflow/platform to track, manage and execute AV projects

04

No tools to standardize student learning

05

Used multiple tools to fulfil AV design and documentation needs

06

Difficult to replicate standardized rooms accurately into new projects

Tools being used before XTEN-AV:Smartsheet, Google Docs and Stardraw. With XTEN-AV, Davidson College was able to replace all these tools with just a single platform.

XTEN-AV has a wonderful product and database, everything that I’ve searched for in the field is available in your database,’ said Richard in appreciation of the design & documentation software. So, it really becomes kind of an all-in-one record keeping, project management, inventory tracking and student training platform,” continued Richard.

XTEN-AV has sped up the time it takes to train students who sometimes come in semester by semester and then leave. XTEN-AV allows to, in a couple of weeks, get a student from basic unfamiliarity to being able to go out and troubleshoot.

 

As per Richard, the UI and UX of the platform is admirable, making it easy to use and learn for anyone in his team, even the new members.

 

“I think anybody with basic experience of any of the other tools could jump into XTEN-AV and, within hour or two, be in the ground running,’ claims Richard.”

 

Using X-DRAW and other built in XTEN-AV tools, Davidson college has been able to solve multiple issues with a single platform, resulting in 10X increase in efficiency of the entire process and also saving cost of paying and managing multiple different software subscriptions.
