2. INTRODUCING MIDWICH SOLUTIONS
As the UK’s leading technology distributor and single source supplier of AV
product, Midwich are always looking at new ways to add value to our trade
partners, especially when supporting them with customer projects. In recent
years the convergence of IT and AV has dramatically increased system
complexity, driving the need for ever greater levels of technical expertise
when specifying and delivering customer solutions.
Our Midwich Solutions team are here to take
the pain and complexity out of marrying
technology to customer requirements. Our
experienced specialists will support
your project from the ground up, providing initial
project definition, system design and technology
recommendations, and implementation support
to ensure a successful delivery. The in-depth
knowledge of our product and technology
specialists, tied to the market understanding
of our vertical specialists, ensures our solutions
integrate the latest thinking and technology
within this fast moving environment.
The rate of change is increasing. As an example,
in retail, no longer are digital displays enough to
increase footfall. The adoption of customer
engagement through social networks,
along with new technology such as proximity
beacons, allows retailers to identify the products
customers are interested in and target their digital
marketing accordingly. In the public sector, the
drive for remote engagement transparency has
revolutionised what’s happening in the council
chamber through the live streaming of sessions
and ongoing interaction with interested parties
via twitter.
Meanwhile, in higher education the rise of tuition
fees has turned students into customers. Poor
sound and hard to read whiteboards are no longer
acceptable with universities needing top quality
lecture facilities with high definition video and
excellent audio, all integrated with video capture
for distance learning, to attract the best students.
In the corporate world the trend towards remote
and collaborative working moves at a pace.
Meeting rooms are being converted to group
workspaces with 4K displays as standard, and
many organisations migrating signals over IP
to use their infrastructure more efficiently.
Whatever the future brings, you can be sure the
Midwich Solutions team has the expertise to
deliver not just what you want, but what you need.
Our expertise is your advantage!

training to ensure a successful project deployment.

4. RETAIL
Retail is the fastest growing digital signage opportunity worldwide,
with continuous growth predicted for the next five years. Users’ content
requirements now drive the hardware technology demands, with many stores
working to achieve a uniform customer experience both online and in store.
Retailers marketing departments now demand central WAN control of their
digital product to ensure all advertising opportunities are maximised. The
current customer journey in store makes it too easy to cross reference
pricing with online retailers. If technology can discourage this or market
in store benefits it will continue to see an increase on uptake, but it remains
a fine line as technology in store should be dominant but not intrusive.
Interactive in retail doesn’t
always mean touchscreens.
Engage with your customers
in store through social media
integration, age and gender
recognition software, or digital
content which is triggered when
removing a product from its shelf.
For maximum impact use
video and high definition
images to advertise your
product or service. Manage
all content centrally, updating
all stores to maximise
promotions through targeting
specific audiences.

With a larger store, one music
playlist will never create
the ideal atmosphere in all
areas. Zoned audio systems
give you flexibility between
departments or franchises and
allow public messages to be
heard in the relevant locations.
Eye catching store front
displays attract customers
and distract them from the
competition. Indoor and
outdoor LED displays create
seamless display canvases.
Don’t risk your messaging
being missed. High brightness
displays ensure your content
is seen no matter what the
weather challenges, while
24/7 commercial displays
give peace of mind ensuring
no opportunities to market
products and services slip by.

products into this specific application. A previous survey of over 300 IT teams showed

that percentage jumped to 94% by 2020*, so we are firmly in the middle of the refresh
period. This is business that is available now.

7. Don’t invest in sophisticated
video conferencing just to
have poor audio. Conference
microphone solutions allow
all participants to hear each
other as clearly as if they
were in the same room.
