We Design AV Solutions Based On Requirements
Great AV solutions start with a conversation and by understanding the requirements.
We analyze your team’s workflow and workspace to design customized audio visual solutions tailored to your business goals.
Why it matters
The Highest-Value Step in Any AV Programme
In our experience, the most valuable step in any AV programme is the time spent understanding the need before the design begins.
Clarity at this stage means every decision that follows is better informed. For enterprise organisations managing multiple sites, the impact multiplies across every location.
How the assessment works
Three things we get right before design begins
We Start With Your People, Not Your Rooms
We run structured workshops with IT, facilities, leadership and end users. We find out how teams meet, what works well and what could work better. The brief that emerges is grounded in your reality and shaped by your ambitions.
We Find Out What You Already Have
We audit your current equipment, platforms and network to identify what still earns its place. Where technology is working well, we build on it. Where there is room to improve, we identify the opportunity clearly.
We Plan the Whole Journey
For relocations, consolidations or upgrades to live spaces, we create a phased migration plan that keeps your people productive throughout and aligns with your capital planning.

Actis FAQs
An AV needs analysis is a structured assessment process that identifies business objectives, user requirements, room functionality, and technology expectations before designing an audiovisual solution. It helps ensure that AV investments align with organisational goals and operational requirements.
AV assessment helps organisations understand user needs, infrastructure readiness, and technology requirements before making investment decisions. This reduces project risks, improves system performance, and minimises costly redesigns.
An AV infrastructure audit evaluates existing audiovisual equipment, collaboration platforms, displays, conferencing systems, network readiness, and supporting infrastructure to determine whether they can be reused, upgraded, or replaced.
In many cases, existing AV infrastructure can be integrated into new deployments. A detailed audit helps determine compatibility, performance levels, and opportunities to maximise previous technology investments.
An AV needs assessment should be conducted at the beginning of a project, before system design and technology selection. Early assessment helps ensure that solutions are aligned with business requirements and future objectives.
Actis develops migration strategies, infrastructure readiness plans, and deployment roadmaps that minimise operational disruption during office moves, technology upgrades, and workplace transformation projects.
