For AV installers, deploying and managing professional AV systems has traditionally meant juggling multiple tools across multiple stages — one application for discovery, another for configuration, another for firmware updates, and often a site visit just to make a remote adjustment. In complex environments managing dozens of rooms across multiple locations, that fragmentation creates delays, errors, and unnecessary cost.

That’s why Biamp developed Workplace Tools: a desktop application designed to connect every step of the AV deployment workflow in one place — from the moment a device appears on the network through commissioning, configuration, and ongoing remote management.

It’s purpose-built for integrators and AV installers who need a reliable, efficient workflow that works whether they’re standing in the equipment room or managing a site from headquarters.

One workflow, on-site or in the cloud

Most AV deployment workflows are built around stages that don’t talk to each other. Work done during design doesn’t carry into commissioning. Device configurations set during installation aren’t reflected in the management platform. Every handoff creates an opportunity for information to get lost.

Workplace Tools changes that by connecting every stage through the Biamp Workplace platform. Devices discovered, commissioned, and cloud-connected in Workplace Tools are immediately available in Workplace — no additional sync step, no re-entry of configuration data, no gap between installation and operations.

From discovery to commissioning in a single session

Workplace Tools is built around the way integrators actually work. When a technician arrives on-site, the application automatically discovers and identifies every Biamp device on the network — no manual entry required.

From there, Workplace Tools handles:

• Device configuration and commissioning

• Firmware updates

• Connection to the Workplace cloud platform

Because everything happens within one application, technicians spend less time switching between tools and more time completing the work. 

Answers when you need them, without leaving the workflow

Every AV installation brings questions. What is the correct wiring diagram for this configuration? How does this device integrate with the rest of the system? Finding those answers has traditionally meant opening a browser, navigating between support sites, and searching through documentation libraries.

Workplace Tools introduces the new Workplace AI Agent — an assistant backed by the full Biamp knowledge base, including product documentation, connection diagrams, and technical guidance from biamp.com. Technicians can ask questions in plain language and get accurate, Biamp-sourced answers without leaving the application.

The practical impact during installation is significant. Instead of pausing work to search for a specification or troubleshoot a configuration step, technicians stay in the workflow and keep moving 

Remote adjustments without the site visit

Once systems are commissioned and connected to Biamp Workplace, the work doesn’t stop at the door. Workplace Tools supports ongoing remote management — giving integrators and IT teams the ability to make adjustments, push firmware updates, run diagnostics, and review device status from anywhere.

For organizations managing AV systems across multiple buildings, campuses, or regions, this capability is significant. Issues that would previously require a truck roll can often be resolved remotely in minutes. Firmware updates that would have meant scheduled site visits can be pushed across an entire fleet from a single interface.

Built for the scale of modern AV deployments

Today’s AV environments are more complex than ever. Organizations may manage hundreds of devices across dozens of rooms in multiple locations — all with the expectation that every system works, every time.

Workplace Tools is designed for that scale. Because commissioned devices are immediately reflected in the Biamp Workplace platform, every deployment adds to a live, accurate picture of the organization’s AV environment. 

What one deployment knows, every deployment benefits from.

Because the best deployment tools don’t just help you get a system running. They help you keep it running — from anywhere.
