ASC

What ASC does

ASC (Automated Systems Consulting, Inc.) is a privately held professional AV integration and collaboration solutions company founded in 1994 and headquartered in Tampa, Florida. The firm designs, deploys, and supports audiovisual systems across five verticals — K-12 education, higher education, government, corporate, and hospitality — for end customers as well as for prime contractors, general contractors, AV resellers, and manufacturers who engage ASC as a licensed subcontractor in Florida and Alabama. Its core offering spans the full AV integration lifecycle: consulting and discovery, design and engineering, installation and deployment, configuration and commissioning, training and adoption, and ongoing managed services and support.

The technology layer is built entirely on third-party platforms rather than proprietary systems: ASC integrates industry-leading control and AV infrastructure from Crestron, QSC, and Extron; conferencing solutions from Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms, Poly, Logitech, and Neat; displays and interactive panels from Promethean, LG, Samsung, ViewSonic, Newline, NEC, Epson, and Smart Technologies; and audio products from Shure, Bose, ClearOne, and AVer. Differentiation rests on certified (CTS/AVIXA) professional labor, W-2 crews rather than 1099 subcontractors, full Florida low-voltage licensing, and authorized warranty-service-partner status with multiple leading manufacturers.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services fees for design, installation, and configuration work plus recurring managed-services and support contracts. Pricing is quote-based, not published, with 24-48 hour response times on scope submissions. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales (with 'Request a Quote' / 'Get a Consultation' web CTAs feeding integration specialists) and a channel motion in which ASC deploys W-2 crews under the client's brand as a behind-the-scenes install partner, with an explicit non-compete stance toward the channel partner's end customer. There is no disclosed revenue, no external funding, and no parent company; ownership appears to remain founder/operator-led.
