INDIANAPOLIS, IN ESCO Communications has qualified as an InfoComm International AV Provider of Excellence (APEx). The qualification is a marketing recognition program for integration companies and AV design consulting firms that are dedicated to upholding industry excellence by providing quality service to customers.

The InfoComm APEx program recognizes companies based on the number of employees holding key industry certifications, including InfoComm's CTS credential, completion of continuing education classes and positive customer survey responses.

APEx providers must also prove that they meet or exceed the requirements within two ANSI/INFORCOMM standards, the Standard Guide for Audiovisual Systems Design and Coordination Processes and the AV System Performance Verification Standard, to foster better communication between the AV provider and the client.

"The APEx designation gives AV companies a mark of distinction in the marketplace," said David Labuskes, CTS, RCDD, InfoComm International's Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer. "Customers of APEx companies can be confident of the AV provider's professionalism and commitment to ongoing training, customer service and dedication to excellence."
