December 2010 - AVM & AVI-SPL expand Global Alliance to include video managed services

Founding members of the AV Global Alliance, AVM and AVI-SPL, have announced they will be expanding their relationship to include joint delivery of video managed services.

The AV Global Alliance has historically been focused on designing and installing audio and video integration projects and currently has more than 26 av integrators from around the world as member companies. The increase in demand for managed services to support Telepresence and video conferencing for large multi-national customers is the leading driver in expanding the relationship to include video managed services as an AV Global Alliance offering.

AVM and AVI-SPL intend to leverage their combined capabilities and infrastructure in the US and Europe to deliver managed video services to joint customers. By combining capabilities in their respective offices, the companies will leverage service centres in New Jersey, California, Pennsylvania and London, as well as video bridging infrastructure deployed at more than eight points of presence around the globe. The combined services will also enable both companies to expand the range of languages supported for multi-national customers.
