Xyte's Connect+ Honored with NSCA's 2025 Excellence in Product Innovation Award

April 8, 2025 – Xyte announced today that its Connect+ platform has been awarded the 2025 Excellence in Product Innovation Award by the National Systems Contractors Association (NSCA) in the Technology Platform category. The award recognizes products that have a significant impact on commercial integrators, with a focus on scalability, versatility, and operational efficiency. 

The NSCA's Excellence in Product Innovation Awards, now in their 11th year, celebrate manufacturers and products that profoundly influence integrators. Winners were announced at NSCA's recent 27th annual Business & Leadership Conference in Irving, Texas. The judging panel evaluated submissions based on criteria such as scalability, deployment cost, ease of use, return on investment, ADA compliance, versatility and energy efficiency.

Xyte Connect+ offers a unified interface that streamlines the management of AV, UC, and IT devices, rooms, and spaces, all while connecting manufacturers, integrators, MSPs, and end-users. Xyte Connect+ allows end users and system integrators to oversee devices from multiple brands from anywhere in the world through a single interface, eliminating the need for multiple cloud environments.

With Xyte Connect+, integrators and MSPs can streamline operations, resolve issues remotely, reduce on-site service calls, and improve customer satisfaction. Xyte’s integration with cloud-to-cloud connectors, including platforms like Zoom Rooms, Microsoft Teams Rooms, Crestron XiO, QSC Reflect, BrightSign, Domotz, Neat, Poly and other cloud platforms, ensures seamless management across diverse ecosystems. This level of interoperability simplifies device management, reduces operational complexity, and empowers integrators to deliver consistent, high-quality service.

Mike Abernathy, NSCA's director of business resources, commented on the awards: "Every year, manufacturers impress us with their creativity and technological advances. Our judging panel rigorously assesses every nomination, and the challenge of choosing winners gets tougher annually. Nearly every submission reflects the progressive strides that are happening within our industry, as manufacturers continue to help elevate integrators as vital contributors to mission-critical technology." 

“Most contemporary AV installations are intricate, integrated systems that involve devices and equipment from various manufacturers,” noted Omer Brookstein, CEO of Xyte. “Xyte Connect+ provides a solution to one of the industry’s greatest pains – the excess of proprietary monitoring platforms. This recognition by NSCA highlights Xyte's dedication to providing integrators with tools that streamline device management and enhance operational efficiency,” he added.
