Our mission at BIS Digital is to develop the finest integrated AV technology and digital recording solutions available in the marketplace. We will deliver to our customers customized, integrated AV solutions along with exceptional customer service and technical support. Our ultimate mission is to earn the trust and confidence of our customers each and every day.
BIS Digital is a technology company which provides integrated communications and multi-media recording solutions. We “capture the record” with complete audio and video digital recording and presentation systems customized to meet client needs. Our technology helps administrators manage courtroom and judicial proceedings as well as meetings held by city, county, state and federal government. BIS Digital systems also play an integral role in law enforcement, public safety and emergency management operations, including 911.
We design systems with fully integrated audio-visual (AV) capabilities for optimal workflow and efficiency. Founded in 1982, BIS Digital has the knowledge and experience gained through our large customer base to build the perfect AV system from concept to completion for any environment. We handle everything from planning and design to installation and service. We even purchase all the hardware and equipment. Moreover, we’ll make sure staff is properly trained on using the system to master its operation.
Delivering excellency since 1982
Granted, back then our cutting-edge recording technology consisted of dictation and transcriptions services. We had all of one employee, and a single county made up our entire corporate footprint.
In 2005, we launched our flagship product, DCR, under the BIS brand and haven’t looked back since. Today, we provide turnkey recording and communications management solutions to more than 6,000 customers. This includes thousands of courtrooms, stretching up and down the East coast and beyond.
Our unique ability to integrate advanced computer technology and digital recording software with the latest equipment – microphones, monitors, mixers, public address systems, and more – allows BIS to deliver customized solutions that provide unmatched communications control.
