The workplace, reconsidered

The office has to earn the trip in.

McDonald's Global Headquarters · ChicagoEight floors of continuous digital experience
Two teams, one partner

One call covers the conference room and the lobby.

A PDS program usually carries two kinds of technology. AVI-SPL handles both through a single account team.

AVI-SPL

The workplace that works

Room standards, collaboration technology and service across a whole portfolio.

  • Meeting and huddle room standards held consistent across every site
  • Unified communications for in-person and remote participants
  • Managed service and support after move-in
  • Supply chain coordination with general contractors, architects, low-voltage providers, design consultants and furniture suppliers
XTG · Experience Technology Group

The spaces that tell the story

The rooms a client builds to be seen, visited and remembered.

  • Lobbies and welcome centers with LED, projection and interactive walls
  • Executive briefing and experience centers
  • Amenity and return-to-office spaces that give people a reason to come in
  • Broadcast studios and town hall venues for executive communication

Timing

The earliest decisions carry the most value.

The PDS schedule

Where technology enters the project.

Select a phase. Each one shows what AVI-SPL brings and the question that keeps the phase on track.

What happens here

What AVI-SPL and XTG bring

The question for the PDS project manager

Early in the schedule, the experience shapes the building. Late in the schedule, the building shapes what remains of the experience.

Kickoff questions

Five questions for every PDS kickoff.

Each one takes a minute to ask at kickoff and protects the schedule later.

1
Who is the AV designer?Design and integration teams align best when they meet early, even when they are separate firms.
2
Who owns the experience outcome?The owner of a lobby or briefing center is often in marketing or workplace experience, apart from facilities.
3
What sits with the general contractor, and what sits with AV?Backboxes and wire pulls belong to the general contractor. Equipment installation and final connections belong to the AV vendor.
4
What are the current lead times?AV and UC hardware ordered early holds the move-in date. Functional alternatives keep options open.
5
Who supports the rooms after move-in?Day-two service planned during design keeps adoption and utilization high from the first week.
