Imagine walking into any office in your company — Chicago, London, Tokyo — and finding the same tools, the same setup, the same smooth experience. That’s the power of standardization. It speeds up deployments, reduces support headaches, and makes collaboration seamless everywhere. That's what FORTÉ offers.

With a footprint in 51 countries and 177 cities, and more than 6,000 AV professionals worldwide through its global delivery engine GPA, FORTÉ gives enterprises a simpler, more scalable way to deploy workplace technology.  

What it means to work with one global AV partner

AV doesn’t have to be a patchwork of vendors and playbooks. With FORTÉ, clients get one strategic partner with the reach to scale and the structure to deliver reliably, no matter the location.

You don’t have to manage 12 vendors. You don’t have to train users on five different room setups. You don’t have to chase down local support when something breaks. Instead, you get: 

• One relationship
• One proven process
• Local execution in every region
• The confidence that every project is handled the same way 

This structure is built on our role in GPA – the world’s largest AV/UC deployment engine – and is designed around the needs of modern enterprises.  

Proof in action: global AV clients, real results

A multinational HCM software company

This cloud-based HCM provider faced a common challenge: fragmented AV implemented across numerous cities that led to inconsistent client experiences, internal inefficiencies, and reduced adoption rates. 

Partnering with FORTÉ Ireland (formerly System Video) and working through GPA Regional Business Units globally, the company co-developed a delivery playbook — embedding best practices, streamlining processes, and establishing a consistent, repeatable model for AV deployment across all regions.

The result? Faster rollouts, smoother operations, and a noticeable improvement in how the company showed up for its own customers.

“The AV improvements did more than reduce internal friction. They also freed up capacity, which allowed the company to focus more on innovation.” — David Carroll, CEO, FORTÉ Ireland. 

A financial institution in Germany

To deliver a consistent, modern meeting experience across its offices, this major German-based financial institution partnered with GPA and FORTÉ to roll out standardized meeting room technology across Germany, Ireland, India, and Australia. 

The challenge? Balancing high-quality, secure, and user-friendly technology with the realities of regional complexity – from local regulations to infrastructure variability. GPA’s delivery framework, backed by local execution, offered the right balance of governance and flexibility. With predefined design templates, unified project oversight, and local support in every country, the deployment was fast, consistent, and aligned with the company’s broader workplace strategy. 

“Choosing GPA and FORTÉ wasn’t just a technical decision. It was a strategic move to future-proof how this client collaborates worldwide,” said Tobias Enders, CEO, FORTÉ Germany. 

Behind the scenes: Global program management

What makes consistent delivery possible across so many regions? Our Global Delivery team. They act as strategic advisors and align sales, delivery, and service under one global governance model.

“Our team is very clear that we’re not managing tasks. We’re managing trust at scale,” said Sam Luckow, Global Director of Program Management at FORTÉ. We provide repeatable processes, clear communication, and a standard experience, whether you're deploying in Dallas, Dubai, or Düsseldorf.”

Why better global collaboration solutions matter

Inconsistent AV slows people down, creates unnecessary work for IT, and erodes trust in the tools meant to support collaboration. At scale, those effects multiply fast. That’s why companies are shifting from reactive, one-off AV projects to strategic partnerships that prioritize reliability, governance, and speed.

FORTÉ helps enterprise IT leaders simplify the complex. “Our delivery model brings structure to multi-country rollouts, reduces friction across every stage of the AV lifecycle, and ensures every space just works,” Luckow added.
