Integrators have had to struggle with supply chain shortages and their ability to stick to project budgets and deadlines in the wake of the pandemic, however, with manufacturers like Sony backing projects, many were able to breathe a sigh of relief.
“Sony ES Tech Support has assisted us greatly whenever we encounter firmware issues,” says one integrator.
“Sony literally helped keep me in business during the supply chain situation. Their distributor air freighted me Sony TVs when no one else had inventory,” praises another.
“Sony never really missed a beat for shipping,” echoes yet one more.
Sony’s commitment to the custom integration channel has been highlighted in the past by many of its products.
