Lencore: Securing Privacy for Fortune 500 and Healthcare Releases S.M.A.R.T Check List
WOODBURY, N.Y. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Lencore
Acoustics Corp., a manufacturer of commercial sound
masking and paging systems tackles the issue of speech privacy in
America by launching the release of its S.M.A.R.T.
Check List. This comprehensive check list is an industry first. It
helps clients understand the key performance criteria for quality sound
masking systems to ensure speech privacy and comfort in Fortune 500 and Healthcare
environments.
The acronym S.M.A.R.T. stands for Sound Masking Assessment and Review
Template and it is available to help facility and design professionals
with their sound masking system selection. The Check List includes
specifications for system fundamentals, comfort, ability to achieve
speech privacy and the importance of meeting specific standards and
codes.
With the tremendous concern today over protecting what little privacy we
have left, Lencore has filled an important role in protecting privacy
for hundreds of thousands of clients around the world. Lencore sound
masking systems are installed in nearly every type of work space
including corporate, healthcare, banking/financial,
government, military, insurance, technology, library, legal, customer
service and call center environments - all in an effort to provide
measureable levels of speech privacy and comfort.
"Privacy is a civil liberty, and day in and day out we are losing more
and more aspects of it." comments Jonathan Leonard, VP of Lencore
Acoustics Corp. He adds, "Whether it is our moment to moment activities
being posted on social networking sites, or our on line Google searches
being looked at and monitored. We have fallen into a time and place
where the sheer abundance of publicly available information is
staggering. In fact, I often get asked if privacy can truly exist in the
work environment. My answer is yes, it can, but you have to plan for it
and sound masking is an absolute necessity."
The growth of the privacy market and the need to protect conversations
and proprietary information has contributed to a tremendous demand for
sound masking. Lencore's lifetime of experience in this arena continues
to benefit their clients, enabling them to keep conversations private
and all the while creating healthier and more acoustically comfortable
environments.
In publishing the S.M.A.R.T. Check List, Lencore
answered the industry's demand for a true set of usable criteria for
sound masking system selection. In developing this comprehensive guide,
Lencore addressed critical system functionality and performance
specifications so that clients could be confident that they had
considered all of the important aspects of a system before investing in
one.
"The Check List came out of a direct request that we heard time and time
again from our clients who were tired of misinformation and over blown
sales tactics when it came to understanding and evaluating sound
masking," says Leonard. "We are pleased that it has been received so
well and that it is allowing us to help facility
professionals, acoustical
consultants, engineers,
AV
system integrators, property
managers, architects,
designers,
and other contractors
to truly understand what they are specifying and buying."
