Each year the Integration Awards highlight some of this most impressive integration projects from the past year in a number of vertical markets from corporate to higher education to large venue and more.
The past year has been a difficult one for many integrators. While there weren’t as many projects occurring as a result of COVID-19, the projects that did get done faced new challenges in terms of health and safety measures.
Most integrators never have and (hopefully) never again will need to deal with the sorts of restraints they’ve navigated this past year.
Our panel of judges were blown away with the projects we got to see from this year’s applicants.
To learn about so many projects that were delayed as a result of COVID-19, and how integrators worked with clients to implement systems and hit deadlines anyway, really gave us a sense of pride in being able to write about our adaptive and hard-working audience.
While we wish we could highlight every project we got to see this year, there can only be one winner in each category. As always, winners were chosen based on three main criteria:
- Solution – Unique features, benefits to the end customer, and the difficulty of the system being built all factor into how we judge each project
- Installation – The challenges, length of time, and interaction with other parties such as designers, architects, etc. weigh heavily into the judges’ decisions
- Customer Reaction – Of course, a project is only successful if the customer is happy, so that plays a significant role in our judging as well.
The winners of this year’s Integration Awards each show impressive solutions being installed, installations challenges being overcome, and customers being satisfied with the final results.
