Best Home Theater and Outdoor Space Awards Go to DSI

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 20, 2012

DSI Entertainment Systems, a Southern California audio video integration firm specializing in custom home theater, media rooms, and home automation, has been awarded the following three awards by Electronic House in their annual ‘Home of the Year’ contest: Best Home Theater in the over $ 150,000 category, Best Outdoor Space, and Best Amazing Application. This is the 4th year in a row DSI was recognized by Electronic House for outstanding audio/video design and installation, and marks a total of 5 years of winning Electronic House ‘Home of the Year’ awards.

For Best Amazing Application, DSI was recognized for a Beverly Hills, CA luxury MDU installation atop the Montage Hotel that featured many unique audio/video and control system enhancements. The Media Room features a hidden four video projector system that displays art, still pictures, and video on the home’s large central ceiling dome. Elsewhere in the Media Room, the “smart home” control system is even able to change the color of the LED-backlit onyx fireplace through a special control screen on the Crestron touchpanel. In the Master Sitting Room, a large SEURA flat panel TV hidden behind a mirror suddenly “appears” when turned on. Architecture and interiors by Philip Nimmo Interior Design.

The winner of Best Home Theater is located in Los Angeles, CA and features reference level audio and video performance. The home theater was acoustically designed by Anthony Grimani of PMI Ltd. A challenge of this screening room was the client’s desire to have no compromises when screening movies, yet double as a gamer’s dream system. The end result is a high-design home theater with three tiers of seating, DBox motion controlled home theater seats, 4-way adjustable motorized projection screen, a high-end JBL Synthesis audio system, and the ability to play two game consoles at once with a split screen. In gaming mode, the audio can be split between the speakers on each side of the room. The Crestron-controlled theater can even display up to four video sources at once, allowing the homeowner to monitor multiple sporting events when desired.

The winner of Best Outdoor Space is located in the Westwood area of Los Angeles, CA and features the largest water pop-jet fountain ever installed in a residential application. Extensive outdoor lighting and hidden landscape speakers create an inviting outdoor environment. The water jet fountains feature LED color changing lights to create a constantly-changing show set to music; such as seen at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. A portable weatherproof TV can be moved to different areas of the yard yet hides out of the way when not in use.

Videos of these award-winning audio video installations may be seen on DSI Entertainment Systems’ website.

Says Patrick Martinez, Senior System Designer at DSI Entertainment Systems, It was a lot of fun pulling together so many different aspects of the yard system. Having the outdoor landscape lighting, pop-jet water feature system, fountains, music, video, plus the many pool/spa features all in one easy-to-use interface made all of the planning and hard work well worth it.”

Progressive Computing, Inc. Expands to New Office Space

Yonkers, NY (PRWEB) October 31, 2012

Progressive Computing, Inc., a computer consulting and network installation, design and maintenance firm, is looking forward to moving into new 1,800 sq. ft. office space on 35 East Grassy Sprain Road in Yonkers, NY. The rapidly-growing company has decided to remain in Westchester County in a dedicated effort to continue its commitment and expansion within their community roots.

When asked why they decided to remain in Westchester County, Robert Cioffi, Managing Partner for Progressive Computing, commented, Westchester has a vibrant business community and we want to continue being a part of it. Although we have a growing footprint in Manhattan, a majority of our clients are here. He also went on to explain that Yonkers, in particular, is a strategic business location for three reasons. First, there is a nexus of roadways enabling PCI employees to reach all points within the county and beyond with relative ease. Second, the proximity to where the majority of staff live is a big benefit for everyone on the team. And, third, the access to shopping, food and other resources provides company employees with plenty of comfort and convenience.

Remaining grounded in Westchester County also means that the company will be able to continue taking advantage of what they feel is a very diverse workforce. Cioffi explained that PCI places a high value on things like culture, education, and different life experiences when evaluating personnel for potential employment, and they have found that Westchester offers plenty of people who come from a variety of backgrounds. With that, Progressive Computing is looking to add at least one more person to the growing team in 2012. If we remain consistent and continue to grow, Cioffi said, we anticipate adding an additional one or two more people in 2013.

Because the Progressive Computing staff is on the road visiting clients for the majority of the time (as opposed to clients meeting them in-house), the convenient location and ease of commuting will enhance what Cioffi calls PCIs OML or Operational Maturity Level. The fact that Yonkers is located extremely close to several major arteries means that the PCI team will be able to connect them more efficiently with their clients as well as business in New York City. For their loyal clients, this means that they will realize an incrementally improved experience because the new space will allow the PCI team to work more efficiently, and therefore pass those enhancements on to the clients they are servicing.

Further, although office amenities such as private offices, a kitchen, full-fledged conference room and excellent parking may seem like standard features to most, to PCI its more than a vast improvement from their previous occupancy that they had quickly overwhelmed due to a recent acquisition and other growth.

The new office will offer PCI plenty of room for stretching their legs and expanding the team, but it was explained that they anticipate the real expansion will come from growing their revenue base from three general directions: a predictable growth rate based purely on referrals, seeking the right opportunities to assimilate other firms into the current business model, and the addition of new product and service lines that complement existing offerings one of which includes the new operating system from Microsoft and their upcoming tablet. Although Windows 8 and the upcoming Microsoft Surface Tablet are late players in mobility technology, they certainly will be making a large impact in the market, Cioffi explained.

Progressive Computing has a core philosophy in believing that most great companies achieve success through deliberate and continuous improvement, rather than making large splashes, and this is the direction they will continue to follow as they move into their new office space this year, and continue the momentum into 2013. Ugo Chiulli, Managing Partner commented, We will not be successful by accident or have any tremendous growth spurts (perhaps barring a large acquisition). So, you can expect that our company will continue to be strong, vibrant and consistent not just in 2013, but well beyond that.
