“You can take trends [from] across the globe—customers that aren’t even my customers, but their data could be generically presented, and I can understand: in an AV environment for a university system, or an AV environment for an enterprise, if this device fails at this layer, then you have a 70-percent chance of 17 per 100 rooms going down. That kind of information will save organizations huge relative to their total cost of ownership.”
