"In the last six months, the Crestron SR product has bridged the gap between AV and IT perfectly, delivering a product that brings video conferencing seamlessly into the meeting space," said Jon Sidwick, vice president, Maverick AV Solutions, at Tech Data.

With a suite of complementary products, Maverick's collaboration team will spearhead the rollout of the product to the U.S. channel.
