Convenience at our fingertips – it’s what we’ve come to crave. It’s why we embraced the remote control when it was first invented and why we delight at the creation of new apps that enable us to complete tasks with a simple press of a button or voice command.
Mark Vyain knows just how much people appreciate convenience through automation. For more than three decades, he has worked in home technology. He was the president of Digitech Custom Audio & Video, Inc. for 31 years before his company merged with 15 other companies to form BRAVAS, which partners with homeowners, designers, architects, and builders to complete more than 3,500 smart home projects every year. Vyain, the principal and lead design/sales associate for BRAVAS, is thrilled with the scope of all they offer in whole-house smart home technology solutions.
“This merger created a national footprint that has never before been achieved, certainly not in a luxury category,” says Vyain. Clients receive access to local companies with national resources.
If you’re looking to incorporate automated custom concealed shades, for instance, or climate control zones for various parts of the house, they’ve got you covered. The same is true of ideal home acoustics as they can install the right sound absorbing materials to create a barrier to outside noise while providing superior audio experiences in music rooms, media/ gaming rooms, and private cinemas. In addition, they offer smart fixtures and lighting control systems so homeowners can set whatever mood they’re looking to create. For example, if you want to forego the alarm clock, you can set a “morning scene” that includes warm lighting, soft music, and shades that rise automatically.

In addition to an expansive array of services and capabilities, another byproduct of having this national footprint is that they are now backed by a highly skilled executive team.
“Historically, these companies have been owned by people like myself and Chad Brewer, who joined Digitech in 2003. When we’re working in the business every day, wearing all these different hats, it’s hard to be focused on strategic planning,” says Vyain. “But now we have a CEO, a president, and a CFO, plus the entire team that’s constantly working on new strategies and best practices.”
Though they are now part of this larger corporation, the Indianapolis team has not changed one bit. In fact, Brewer, along with Jose Saavedra and Sheila Urban are all stakeholders in BRAVAS, making them more committed than ever to providing excellent customer service.
“Clients can still come visit our showroom and meet us onsite,” says Brewer, General Manager. “We have the same service managers and project managers, plus Mark, the former owner of Digitech, is still here running sales.”
