PSNI Sets Certification Standards for Membership

Honolulu, Hawaii - Affiliate stockholders at the PSNI Winter Conference held in Honolulu, Hawaii voted to modify the By-Laws of the organization to include minimum industry certification criteria for continued membership. Comprised of twenty-seven audio-visual and broadcast systems integrators located throughout North America, PSNI affiliates agreed to adopt the INFOCOMM International “CAVSP” (Certified Audio Visual Solutions Provider) company certification as the benchmark for PSNI membership criteria effective January 2007.

Karl Couyoumjian, President of TeL System in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and PSNI President noted, “PSNI companies represent over sixty offices throughout North America. We offer national and international deployment to our clients and it is imperative that all of our companies demonstrate and meet certain minimum standards of training and education to assure our clients that we are consistent in our client approach to systems integration.”

According to the INFOCOMM International website, “ The CAVSP credential is company certification awarded to organizations who have demonstrated their commitment to professional excellence by supporting their employees who achieve and maintain individual InfoComm International certification credentials. Companies can achieve General, Silver or GoldCAVSP levels based on the proportion of their technical sales and customer service personnel, from 25 to 75 percent, who earn General or Specialized individual certification.”
