In this episode of My TechDecisions Podcast, host and TD Managing Editor Jonathan Blackwood interviews Josh Shanahan, President and CEO of SVT Technology Services & Solutions.
Since its inception, SVT has become an industry leader providing IT centric audio/video and communication systems to casinos, concert & event centers, office buildings, hospitality facilities, healthcare facilities, restaurants and retail outlets, lounges and nightclubs, educational facilities and financial corporations. In 2011, Sport View Television rebranded itself as SVT, better reflecting the company’s ability to provide a wide variety of electronic systems integration and solution packages. Today, SVT has expanded its operations to many other commercial business and industrial manufacturing facilities.

SVT was founded as a family-owned American company in 1955, Sport View Television Corporation (SVT) pioneered the concept of video patrol for pari-mutuel race course facilities throughout North America. Josh speaks about how his grandfather founded the company, got involved in the racing broadcast industry, and grew the company into a full-scale integration firm.

This includes: IT, audio/video distribution, digital signage, surveillance & security, broadcasting and a host of other technology systems. As pioneers of the audio/video industry, SVT has a long-standing reputation for providing timely, efficient solutions with the highest level of client satisfaction.

Josh also explains why hiring the right integration firm is so important for tech decision makers. He explains what his company does in order to ensure that their clients are fully satisfied, and the necessary detail and care integration firms need to put into projects to ensure technology works well together.
