Whenever you work with technology, you can probably count on one thing: it won't always work perfectly. There are many reasons for that, and it doesn't mean that technology products are of poor quality and need lots of attention to get to work. Rather, it reflects the complexity of today's technology solutions, which often rely on products from different companies working together. 

As a home technology integrator, we deal with that every day. As a technology user, on your smartphone, computer, or even your car, you know things don't always work correctly. The question is, what do you do about it, and how can you get help?

We know that home technology may sometimes not work perfectly. But we want to ensure that doesn't get in the way of our clients accessing their entertainment, managing their lights, arming security cameras, or using any other technology solutions they rely on daily. That's why we developed an app to get them the help they need faster. Read more about it below!

When GHT Group was founded in 1989, a movie server was a dream straight out of the Jetsons. Our company was born out of a deep passion for the then-nascent concept of home theater, providing Laserdisc (bonus points if you remember those) rentals and, later, DVDs. With physical media, a server wasn't a simple concept to execute. While consumer electronics companies built some devices that could handle a few hundred discs in the DVD area, finding a movie and playing it was still a relatively clunky process. Fast-forwarding to 2024, we're in the streaming era, where virtually any video is accessible at the touch of a button. So, who needs a home theater movie server in Atlanta? Need might be too strong a word, but we have several compelling reasons why you might want one. Let’s explore the premier movie server available today, the Kaleidescape system. It's more than a server; it's a higher-level experience for those who love audio and video entertainment at the best possible quality.

As a leading technology integrator across the Southeast, GHT Group always wants to stay ahead of the curve. By the way, did you know where the phrase  "ahead of the curve" came from?

Staying ahead of the curve means performing better than average or anticipating and adapting to trends and changes before everyone else does. That's exactly what HTSA is about, and that is why we recently attended the Spring conference in March. Now, if you're wondering what the heck is HTSA and why should you care, we're glad you asked! And we hope you keep reading below as we explain all that.
