December 16, 2009
The lens through which we viewed business growth in 2009 had a
significantly different focus than that of recent years. Challenges
were faced head on this year, and many stories of survival are shadowed
by tough realities faced by colleagues in this very close-knit
industry. Now, as news of an impending economic recovery gradually
manifests itself on balance sheets, many are surveying the damage and
preparing to move forward. As the calendar year comes to a close, SCN
presents its annual compendium of business outlooks from the top ranks
of commercial AV integration.
The Top 50 systems integrators
in the U.S. and Canada are ranked here by projected systems integration
revenue for 2009. As some companies are also involved in other segments
of integration, we asked entrants to separate their commercial AV
systems installation revenue from overall revenue. Once again this
year, as always, Top 50 submissions were voluntary. The chart ranks
those companies willing to share their internal numbers to establish a
snapshot of the industry. While the bottom line is certainly important
in any business climate, the Top 50 chart is only one way to view an
industry where success and longevity are determined by more than mere
numbers. This is a business defined by character, and that is one index
that has absolutely risen in the past year. We look forward to more
upward trends in this and every category in 2010.
