Por qué es importante ser miembro de excelencia

No se arriesgue con las afirmaciones de marketing: exija pruebas

Todos los integradores afirman ser los mejores. Los miembros de Excellence lo demuestran con verificaciones independientes en varias categorías exigentes. Se han sometido voluntariamente a este escrutinio porque no tienen nada que ocultar y todo que demostrar.

La única evaluación exhaustiva del sector

La mayoría de las certificaciones verifican una sola cosa: las habilidades técnicas. Member of Excellence es diferente. Audita todo el negocio, desde la salud financiera hasta los sistemas de atención al cliente y la excelencia creativa. Obtienes el paquete completo.

Tu inversión en una casa inteligente merece la debida diligencia

Investigas antes de comprar un coche o elegir un médico. Tu casa inteligente merece la misma diligencia. CEDIA ha hecho esa investigación por ti: los miembros de Excellence han sido sometidos a un exhaustivo proceso de selección para que no tengas que arriesgarte con promesas.

Transform Your Home Into a Masterpiece of Technology

Members of Excellence bring your vision to life with precision, expertise, and an unwavering commitment to quality that matches your standards.

Seven Categories of Excellence

Each category addresses a specific compentency to look for when hiring a smart home professional. Together, these checks provide comprehensive peace of mind for your choice.

1. Dedicated - Because consistency builds credibility

 

  • Your smart home will need support for years, to stay at its best. Members of Excellence have proven staying power—they'll be there when you need them, not just on installation day.
  • Consistency matters. These companies have demonstrated year-after-year reliability through sustained trading history and CEDIA membership.

Why this matters

You need a partner who will still be in business in five or ten years when your system needs updates or troubleshooting. Dedicated status proves longevity you can count on.

2. Certified - Because expertise earns trust

 

  • Your integrator has a team of professionals with active CEDIA certifications—demonstrating independently verified knowledge and expertise.
  • Certified professionals have mastered industry best practices and emerging technologies. They troubleshoot faster, design smarter, and deliver better results.

Why it matters

Smart home technology is complex. Certified status guarantees your integration company has proven, tested knowledge that's been validated by the industry's leading organization. Your project deserves verified expertise.

3. Disciplined - Because a strong foundation keeps your business moving forward

 

  • Financially stable companies can honor their commitments, provide long-term support, and invest in the training and tools that benefit your project.
  • Disciplined financial management signals operational maturity and reliability you can trust.

Why it matters

You're making a significant investment. Disciplined status gives you peace of mind that your integrator won't fold mid-project or disappear when you need warranty service. Financial stability protects your investment.

4. Committed - Because great service doesn't end at installation

 

  • Your integrator has documented, audited customer care plans—proving that ongoing support isn't an afterthought, it's built into their business model.
  • Smart homes need updates, troubleshooting, and optimization over time. Members of Excellence have formal systems in place to provide this support.
  • You're not just buying installation—you're entering a long-term relationship with a partner committed to your satisfaction years down the road.

Why it matters

Too many integrators disappear after installation or treat service calls as low-priority inconveniences. Committed status guarantees your integrator has put customer care commitments in writing and had them independently verified.

5. Detailed - Because precision drives performance

 

  • Your project is backed by comprehensive design documentation—every wire, device, and integration point is planned before installation begins.
  • Detailed documentation protects you: if repairs or expansions are needed years later, any qualified technician has a complete roadmap.
  • Precision in planning means fewer mistakes, no budget surprises, and faster problem resolution.

Why it matters

Great smart homes aren't improvised—they're engineered. Detailed status proves your integrator uses professional design processes that separate custom integration from basic installation. Nothing is left to chance.

6. Collaborative - Because shared knowledge helps shape the future of our industry

 

  • Your integrator actively volunteers with CEDIA, demonstrating industry leadership and commitment beyond their own business success.
  • Collaborative integrators bring fresh insights from industry involvement directly to your project: you benefit from their connection to cutting-edge trends and solutions.
  • These companies don't just follow standards, they help create them.

Why it matters

You want an integrator who's connected to the broader industry and brings innovative thinking to your project. Collaborative status proves you're working with a leader, not just a technician.

7. Celebrated - Because your work sets the standard

 

  • Your integrator's work has been recognized as award-worthy by the CEDIA Smart Home Awards—judged by a diverse panel of industry experts—and found to be among the absolute best.
  • You're not hiring someone who can do the job—you're hiring someone whose work is celebrated as exemplary, and technically excellent.

Why it matters

Anyone can install equipment. Members of Excellence with Celebrated status create experiences. You deserve more than adequate—you deserve award-worthy results.
