AVI-SPL, global provider of digital enablement solutions, announced the acquisition of CCS Presentation Systems Southwest (CCS Southwest), an AV design and systems integration firm headquartered in Mesa, Ariz.
Per the statement, CCS has a 34-year history of serving customers in the Arizona market with a focus on continuously optimizing communications and collaboration solutions for the modern workplace and campus. While CCS has capabilities and locations across the United States, AVI-SPL has only acquired CCS Southwest, the operating entity serving Arizona, the company notes.
According to AVI-SPL, the acquisition strengthens its resources in the U.S. southwest region. This region has shown considerable growing demand for IT services covering the full lifecycle of unified communications (UC), audio visual (AV), collaboration and experience technology solutions.
“Our vision is to help organizations everywhere work smarter and live better,” says John Zettel, chief executive officer of AVI-SPL. “We believe by bringing CCS Southwest’s resources and regional knowledge together with AVI-SPL, we will ensure an elevated local customer experience where our customers need us most.”
Per the statement, the combined portfolio of AVI-SPL and CCS Southwest will deliver best-in-class UC, AV and experience technology, along with a suite of professional, managed and support services to enable customers to easily plan, deploy, operate and optimize their technology investments.
“As the co-founders of CCS, my wife Beth and I are filled with pride and excitement as we look toward the next chapter for the company we started 34 years ago,” adds CCS Founder and CEO John Godbout. “What began as a two-person operation has grown into something far greater than we could have ever imagined, thanks to the dedication of our employees, the loyalty of our customers, and the support of our vendor partners. We are confident that AVI-SPL will carry this legacy forward with the same passion and commitment.”
According to AVI-SPL, the acquisition will provide CCS Southwest customers with immediate access to AVI-SPL global operations that support multinational projects with a centrally managed, delivery program that oversees in-country purchasing, project management, and day-two support services. CCS Southwest customers will also have access to the AVI-SPL Symphony platform to monitor, manage and analyze their entire collaboration estate.
Per the statement, the acquisition expands AVI-SPL’s domain expertise, regional understanding and local talent to ensure its clients successfully leverage modern work tools across their organizations.
