AV Design Challenges we see in Complex Environments
Design Is Where AV Success Is Defined
AV design isn’t about drawings or equipment lists. It’s about making the right decisions early; decisions that are repeated across every room, every location, and every user’s experience. As environments scale, those decisions compound. A clear design foundation reduces risk, improves consistency, and supports long-term performance.
How We Approach AV Design
Clear Direction for Meeting & Collaboration Environments
We define how meeting and collaboration environments should function so that spaces are designed with purpose, not assumptions. This creates clarity across room types, locations, and use cases, making environments easier to deploy, support, and scale.
Intuitive User Experience & Workflows
We design collaboration environments around how people actually work, not how technology is configured. This results in intuitive, consistent experiences that reduce friction for users and simplify adoption across the organization.
Designs You Can See & Validate Early
We use visualization to bring designs to life before anything is built—helping stakeholders understand, validate, and align early. This reduces risk, avoids surprises, and builds confidence before deployment begins.
Consistent Design Standards that Scale
We create repeatable design standards that make it easier to scale across rooms, buildings, and locations. These standards improve consistency, simplify deployment, and ensure environments perform the same way everywhere.
Collaboration that Works Across Platforms
Our designs support collaboration across Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Webex, and mixed-platform environments. This flexibility ensures users can collaborate seamlessly—without being constrained by platform silos or future changes.
Seamless Integration Across AV, UC, & IT
We design environments as a single, integrated system—aligning AV, UC, network, control, and infrastructure from the start. This reduces complexity, minimizes integration issues, and supports long-term reliability.

How Our Custom AV Design Process Works
Design That Scales Beyond the First Room
AV design sets the standards, capabilities, and atmosphere of your work environment. Our design work connects directly into deployment and long-term support to ensure the environments we create are built consistently, adopted by users, and supported as your organization evolves.
How do custom AV solutions enhance productivity for organizations?
Integrating cutting-edge AV systems with your existing equipment expands the scope of your team’s ability to meet and collaborate in virtual environments. We leverage our expertise in Unified Communications & Collaboration to create frictionless conferencing experiences that make it easier than ever for your talent to connect, share, and innovate.
Why is a human-centred approach to AV design important?
Focusing on the needs of end users is the best way to ensure that your custom AV solution offers practical solutions to their most pressing challenges. This supports adoption and translates into better ROI for your business. To learn more, explore Dirk Propfe’s keynote presentation on Human-Centred Technology Design for a Hybrid World.
How will ET Group design a custom solution for my organization’s end users?
We always perform careful research into the unique needs of each organization’s end users before we begin concept design and prototyping. This includes conducting interviews with team members and directly observing them to understand the pain points they currently experience. Each design is based on the insights we gather during these steps to ensure alignment with your users and their needs.
Who determines the technology my custom AV solution will use?
Our initial recommendations are on the priorities we identify together during your onboarding and our observations of your team. However, we always seek feedback on initial designs and ensure alignment with your stakeholders before moving forward from the prototyping phase of our process. This provides you with opportunities to consult with us about different technologies and ensures that we are always taking your full range of options into account.
How does ET Group make sure the final design will work for my team?
Hands-on testing with real end users during our testing and iteration phase gives us a clear picture of how your custom AV solution will function in a real work environment. Correcting any issues that arise during this stage ensures that the systems we ultimately install will perform as desired by your users and stakeholders.
Do I need managed services for my custom AV solution or can my in-house team maintain it?
Complex, large-scale AV solutions have unique capabilities, but they also have unique support needs. In-house IT departments may lack the specialized knowledge required to maintain, protect, and update the systems our team has installed. By owning these needs on your behalf, ET Group ensures maximum performance for your AV solution while giving your IT staff time to focus on their other responsibilities.
