2022 INTEGRATION AWARDS Presented by
2022 CI Integration Awards
Reveal Peak Performers
This year's very deserving
Integration Award
winners reflect a mix of
wow!-worthy experiential
excitement and practical,
business-enhancing technical
functionality.
THE INTEGRATION AWARDS are an annual
highlight for the Commercial Integrator
team because they not only allow us to
celebrate some of the most awe-inspiring,
immersive and experiential AV projects
that integrators have created over the past
year but also enable us to vicariously visit
some of these spaces, which might be
thousands of miles away. All year long, our
editors solicit, write and publish thought
leadership and expert guidance for the integration
community, befitting our mission
to be the recognized business handbook
for technology professionals. This month,
it's all about celebrating how integrators
have synthesized outside counsel and
internal talent to create experiences that
people will never, ever forget.
Just as most integration firms work in
a constellation of vertical markets, the
Integration Awards cast a wide net. We
spotlight everything from more practical,
results-oriented spaces like small offices
and meeting rooms, to experiencefocused
attractions like casinos and esports
venues, to environments (like higher

education and corporate campuses) that
are transforming to align with the trend
toward hybridization. Different skill sets are
needed to serve each vertical well, and it's
a testament to some integrators' versatility
that they've earned multiple Integration
Awards this year.
Winners are determined by an unbiased
panel of judges, each of whom uses
independent judgment - free of undue
influence - to determine which projects
deserve recognition. As always, the judges
have no affiliation with or connection
to the submitting integrators or any of the
clients served.
Judges assess each project across three
metrices. They are as follows:
› Installation: This considers all components
of the project build-out and
installation. Factors include challenges
encountered along the way, duration of
the project, cooperation among project
participants, etc.
› Customer Reaction: This considers all
elements of how the solution has been received.
Factors include the level of satisfaction
expressed by the client liaison, impact
on the customer's organization, increased
effectiveness, etc.
› Solution: This considers the solution that
the integration company deployed and its
relative effectiveness. Factors include the
unique features and benefits that the solution
offers, as well as its level of tailoring to
unique customer needs.
Dan Ferrisi, editor-in-chief of Commercial
Integrator, says, " The judges were
wildly impressed by this year's Integration
Awards nominees, which collectively
reflect a remarkable mix of truly jaw-dropping
immersive experiences and practical,
highly tailored business and education
solutions. Across all the judging criteria
- installation, customer reaction and
solution - this year's crop of nominees
shone as beacons of what the integration
community can achieve. "
Although we spotlight only the winners
in the pages that follow, Commercial
Integrator commends every nominee for
taking the science of systems integration
to the level of high art.
