INTRODUCTION
AOC Resins recently completed construction on their LEED Certified Corporate
Headquarters in Collierville, TN. AOC looked to Interactive Solutions, Inc. to integrate video
conferencing and other audio-visual technologies into the corporations meeting rooms and
Training Room
CHALLENGE
When AOC made the decision to construct a new corporate headquarters, they knew a
strong focus of the building would be adequate conference and meeting room capacities.
In the past, AOC had a shortage of meeting space and the rooms were poorly designed to
meet the required tasks of employees. AOC also wanted to create ease of use for
employees, which would help create better efficiencies for the information technology
department. AOC turned to ISI to design and install these rooms.

SOLUTION
AOC chose Interactive Solutions to design and integrate their conference and training
rooms . Based on the direction of Allen Brown, Director of IT Operations, ISI created room
templates in which the directors of each department could add or remove desired
equipment to achieve specific functionality for each of the conference rooms. By
designing the rooms uniformly, AOC would be able to teach employees how to use the
technology that controls all of the conference rooms and feel comfortable using the
equipment in each of the different conference rooms with little help from the IT
department.
Video conferencing integrated room. Room contains a codec and
pan-tilt-zoom camera for video conferencing, touch control panel,
LCD display, ceiling mounted microphones, and a projector and
screen.

ISI Customer Profile: AOC Corporate Headquarters
AOC tasked ISI with installing digital signage within the headquarters.
AOC utilizes this technology within their welcoming lobby to inform
visitors about their company and to welcome expected guests.
EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS
Interactive Solutions, Inc. strove to fully meet the desired finished solutions that AOC put
before the company. “By taking initiative and being proactive with the design and
installation of the rooms, we were able to focus on transferring the many other systems
the department manages to the new facility,” said Allen Brown, Director of IT Operations.
“We didn’t feel as though we had to guide ISI along with each step of implementation of
the rooms. The installation team was flexible working with the construction schedule and
worked to ensure that we had at least 2 fully functional rooms available in the building
during our move-in process.“ Mr. Brown also commented on the different templates
created to customize the rooms, “By making the rooms comparable to each other, the
speed of installation and approval was accelerated.”

ABOUT AOC RESINS AND ISI
AOC is a unique global enterprise with historical roots branching in two distinct directions.
The core of what comprises AOC today was formed in 1994 through a joint venture of the
resin businesses of two companies - The Alpha Corporation of Collierville, Tennessee, and
Owens Corning of Toledo, Ohio. Alpha was a leading producer and innovator of open mold
resins while Owens Corning’s domination was in closed mold resins. The divergent
strengths of the two founding companies were exceptionally complementary to each other.
What emerged is a amalgamation of the best of two different corporate cultures and areas
of expertise.
In 1998 the Alpha Corporation purchased Owens Corning’s interest in the joint venture.
The change streamlined the decision-making process under a single organization focused
solely on meeting the needs of unsaturated polyester and vinyl ester resin users.
