2022 is here. We have a lot to be thankful for. 2021 is history. We all know history repeats. In all things electronic, 2022 will be very similar to 2021.
2021 caught everyone off guard. Political and economic policies, laws, and Acts of God have shown us how fragile our supply chains are. Letting UPS and FedEX be your warehouse is not going to work anymore. Securing equipment in 2021 looked like a one-armed and legged man doing the Carlton dance. Manufacturers and leaders of our industry affiliations tell us supply chain issues will persist. Price increases will continue. 2022 will be just like 2021 in that regard.
Anything made by humans can and will fail. Some failures are unpredictable, It is more important than ever to keep your audio, video, lighting and control and IT systems maintained. If you are planning to purchase upgrades or systems, be prepared for delays. Consider making an additional investment in time and resources to minimize downtime.
We have had calls the week before Christmas, Easter, and special events. Callers knew they have had problems for extended periods of time. In one case, a church called us one day before Easter wanting project lamps. There weren’t any factory replacement parts in the country. They did nothing about it and called two days before Christmas. We had the same exact conversation with the same exact contact. Mismanaged organizations will fail. Mismanaged electronic systems will fail. We know 2021 will be a repeat of 2022. We know supply chain issues will persist. Now is the time to be booking your preventative maintenance calls so you can be ready for spring break events and Easter.
