When Collaboration Shaped the Future of AV

When Collaboration With Siemens Energy Shaped the Future of AV

When global organizations operate across countries, time zones, and teams, communication becomes more than a technical requirement; it becomes a strategic necessity.

For Siemens Energy, a company driving the future of sustainable energy worldwide, the challenge was clear: how to create meeting environments that could support modern collaboration while remaining scalable, reliable, and ready for the future.

What followed was not a standard supplier relationship but a close, hands-on collaboration that would ultimately lead to a new solution not only for Siemens Energy but for many organizations facing similar challenges.

The Challenge: One Global Standard, Many Local Needs

With meeting rooms spread across multiple locations, Siemens Energy needed an AV solution that could work consistently across very different environments.

From small huddle rooms to medium-sized collaboration spaces and large strategic meeting rooms, the requirements varied, but the expectations remained the same:

  • A clean and professional appearance
  • High stability and safety
  • Easy service and maintenance
  • Flexibility for future technology upgrades

Existing solutions on the market didn’t cover the full picture. Many were either too fixed, too complex, or not designed for long-term use.

A Partnership Built on Dialogue

This is where SMS Smart Media Solutions entered the picture.

From the very beginning, the collaboration between Siemens Energy and SMS was built on openness, speed, and trust. Rather than working from a fixed specification, both teams approached the project as a joint development process.

Ideas were shared early. Concepts were tested quickly. Feedback flowed continuously.

Instead of long decision chains, discussions took place directly among engineers, designers, and end users, enabling faster progress and better results.

Introducing the EVER 620 Freestand

The result of this joint development became the foundation of the EVER 620 Freestand, an addition to the EVER family of AV furniture.

Designed with stability, serviceability, and upgradeability at its core, the EVER 620 Freestand was built to adapt rather than become obsolete.

It offers:

  • Support for different room sizes and configurations
  • Clean cable management and accessible service points
  • A structure prepared for future technology upgrades

Rather than being a fixed product, the Freestand became a flexible platform, capable of evolving as workplace needs change.

Scalable Across Every Room

For Siemens Energy, scalability was essential.

The same design language and technical structure are needed to function across different room types, ensuring consistency while allowing flexibility.

With the EVER 620 Freestand, the solution could be implemented across:

  • Small meeting and focus rooms
  • Medium-sized collaboration spaces
  • Larger strategic and hybrid environments

This approach created a unified AV standard, without limiting adaptability.

More Than a Product

Together, Siemens Energy and SMS Smart Media Solutions didn’t just develop an AV stand.

They created a scalable solution that supports collaboration across buildings, countries, and teams today and in the future.

A clear example of what can happen when strong partnerships, thoughtful design, and real-world experience come together.

The power behind every interaction.
