Savant Dealer and End-user Testimonials

The next generation of control, automation and media is here, read why...


Savant Dealers:


Savant is not just a "control system" that uses Apple technology as an engine and an iPad as a user interface. Savant ownership is a fresh set of eyes, hungry to listen and observe, and their message is simple—It's about the dealer before anything else. They understand "guy's like us" who helped create this industry long, long ago. Savant is delivering reliable systems, sexy interfaces and unique solutions. But, most of all, Savant is delivering world class "True Partnership" initiatives to help grow my business, profitably.

"Savant is a game changer in the industry that brings all pieces of home automation, AV entertainment, and media together for the dealer and end-user.  Savant's control platform works smoothly with interfaces that consumers understand and like - Apple iPads, iPhones and iPod touch's.  The system is very reliable and extremely easy to use; it dramatically reduces the level of frustration with set-up time and customization associated with other older control companies."

"In my 18+ years experience in Audio/Video and now with my own systems integration businesses, I have been fortunate to run across some genuinely good manufacturers to do business with. Fortunately, several years ago I ran into an up and coming new vendor in Savant Systems.  They have set the bar at a new level in the automation arena. It has been a refreshing change to see a control manufacturer and software provider so eager for information from us as dealers on how to make their products best serve the marketplace. They not only listen to our suggestions, they also turn around and produce new products as a direct result of our input more quickly than I have ever seen.  I never cease to be amazed at the forward thinking from the top to the bottom of the Savant team. I eagerly anticipate what Savant will bring to our industry in the years to come."

“We had an end-user reach out to us who owned a legacy automation system in his Theater Room, along with a totally independent keypad based multi-room audio system. This client expressed an interest in finding the most advanced iPad-based control option, so we designed a Savant package for the customer that accommodated all of the automation expectations for the entire home. Set-up and customization with Savant is an intuitive and efficient process—programming time was tenfold less than the old legacy solution. Savant’s iPad-based system is fast, stable and completely reliable, the client couldn’t be more thrilled.”

Craig DeAndrea, Woodbridge Stereo Video

"Technology By Design, Inc. has used a variety of control products over the years in search for a company who produced a automation product that makes implementation fast and efficient for our installers.  More importantly, we needed a control product that would give our customers a simple yet cutting edge way of interacting with their favorite A/V products, music library and all other systems in their home including security and HVAC.  Savant meets all of those needs for our company and opened up doors that other systems could not.  Technology By Design can now offer services for customers that were previously out of their price range due to the amount of programming time needed for other control products.  There is not another control system like Savant on the market."

"The iPad interface is every bit as terrific as you promised.  I’ve tried pretty much everything and have had no problems thus far.  The program is so intuitive that it seems it would be hard to be confused.  It’s really impressive.  I’ve always maintained that technology succeeds when you are focused on what you are doing and not how you are going to do it.  When is the last time you thought about the chip in your car?  Nothing has come close to this setup.  I use the stuff constantly without a second thought as to whether anything is going to work or not.  Everybody who has seen it has been pretty much blown away.  The kids have been coming in at lunch to see demos."

"The Integra home theater system combined with the 60-inch LG plasma television that Technology By Design (Savant Dealer, Iowa) installed in my mancave theater was already an upgrade over what I had before, and I thought what I had before was pretty sweet. But when you combine the Savant Home Automation System with it, it just totally blows away my previous setup. With Savant, the ability to control the entire system with one remote, surf the web, play YouTube videos on my TV, and download Blu-ray movies from Netflix within my mancave is absolutely awesome! The installation was quick, easy, and very professional as well."
