Unified communications — Common market challenges

In unified communication environments—from huddle rooms and boardrooms to hybrid offices and enterprise-wide collaboration networks—organizations often face challenges such as:

Fragmented user experience across rooms, desktops, and mobile devices.
Interoperability gaps between platforms (e.g., Teams, Zoom, Webex) and AV endpoints.
Voice and video quality issues tied to network capacity, QoS, or misconfigured VLANs.
Security and privacy risks (unencrypted signaling/media, unauthorized access).
Scalability and cost-control when moving from on-prem PBX to UCaaS models.
Difficulty merging legacy telephony and paging with modern cloud collaboration.

Featured success story.

Hillman AV Modernizes the Municipalities Association of Saskatchewan With Q-SYS and Shure.

The organization partnered with Hillman AV to modernize its meeting and conference rooms. To achieve the desired outcomes, Hillman AV leveraged the Q-SYS platform from QSC to integrate audio, video and control for the project complemented by a tabletop microphone and speaker solution by Shure. By integrating a modern collaboration system, Municipalities of Saskatchewan can host virtual meetings to enable remote and hybrid work. That means if some members can’t attend in-person, it’s no longer a problem to connect them with the rest of the board.
