The year 2011 will be remembered for many things—extreme weather, extreme politics, some guy named Bieber—but one thing it won’t be remembered for is the barely attended film Arthur. In this forgettable remake of the Dudley Moore classic, our hero is suddenly forced to get a job. Browsing the classifieds, he lands on a familiar employment opportunity.
“Professional systems integrator?” Arthur exclaims. “Who would want to do systems integration as a hobby?”
Our guess is that many on the annual SCN Top 50 Systems Integrators list would be happy to answer that question. While “hobbyist” is hardly the right word to describe those on this benchmark-setting list, it’s no small coincidence that many who made the cut actually began as hobbyists.
When your profession is also your passion, it shines through in your work. The dedication and enthusiasm of all involved in this industry is unrivaled. That’s why, even during challenging economic times, the AV industry continues to thrive. It is comprised of passionate, inventive, dedicated, resourceful individuals. And while systems integration may not sound sexy to a Hollywood screenwriter, hey, that movie was really, really lame.
So, with that, SCN presents the 2011 Top 50 Systems Integrators in the U.S. and Canada, ranked here by projected systems integration revenue for 2011. As some companies are also involved in other segments of AV business, we ask entrants to separate their commercial AV systems installation revenue from total revenue
As always, Top 50 submissions are voluntary. The chart ranks those willing to share their internal numbers to establish an industry snapshot. While the bottom line is important, the Top 50 chart is only one way to view an industry where success is determined by more than mere numbers. There is much to learn from how every company operates, and we look forward to continuing to provide the commercial AV business with an in-depth look at the inner workings of its finest companies in 2012.
