How to Modernize Your Meeting Rooms Fast: The Power of Velocity

Simplified. Standardized. Accelerated. When you deploy meeting rooms at scale, these are the non-negotiables. But the AV industry hasn’t always been set up to deliver.

  • Pricing could vary wildly from location to location.  
  • Lead times? Different everywhere.  
  • And sometimes your installation team doesn’t stick to consistent standards.

That’s why FORTÉ created Velocity – a pre-engineered, factory-to-field AV solution that eliminates complexity and delivers operational meeting rooms in days, not months. 

Imagine the impact you could create by upgrading 5, 25, or even 50 meeting rooms in a matter of a few weeks – without compromising quality.

Real-World Success:

"Before Velocity, our biggest challenge [working with other vendors] was inconsistency – whether that was pricing, timeline, install or commission. From proposal to closeout, it never felt like we had a defined process. Velocity takes the guesswork out of it and delivers the experience that other vendors claim they’re going to give. It’s easily the most innovative service offering in the industry.”  — AV Collaboration Engineer at a leading digital media company 

This real-world example illustrates exactly how the goals for your AV tech solutions are achievable when you choose the right solution.  

Want to achieve these results? It starts with these simple steps: 

Step 1: Identify the rooms that need help

You don’t need to audit every square foot of your real estate to start making improvements. Just pinpoint where reliable, modern meeting tech would make the biggest immediate impact:   

  • Outdated tech holds your team back
  • Meetings start late or don’t start at all 
  • Support tickets pile up 
  • Remote or hybrid meetings struggle 
  • Employees waste time on basic AV problems
By identifying these key pain points, you can prioritize rooms that need an upgrade and start seeing immediate improvements once Velocity is deployed. 

Step 2: Choose a proven, pre-configured solution

Designing a custom system isn’t necessary for every room or use case (and takes time you probably don’t have). Velocity’s pre-configured solutions aren’t generic kits – they’re thoughtfully designed systems that work in real-world environments. And FORTÉ offers the solutions in two distinct ways to meet your needs.

You simply select your room type (huddle space, medium conference room, or large conference room), and you get a complete, ready-to-go solution with enterprise-grade equipment and built-in compatibility for platforms like Zoom and Microsoft Teams. 

Step 3: Skip the wait — order and deploy

Traditional AV deployment processes can take months, but with Velocity, you’re not waiting on a long procurement cycle. Once you place your order, Velocity systems are pre-engineered, pre-configured, and tested before arriving – ensuring faster installations and fewer headaches for your team. And when we say fast installations, we mean it. In most cases, it takes just a few hours per room.

Step 4: Make life easier for the IT team…from day one

Velocity is designed with centralized management and remote support in mind. This means fewer support tickets, better visibility, and seamless system integration across platforms. For IT teams tired of putting out fires, this is a game-changer. And because a six-month managed service offer is baked into the price, you’re not adding to your IT team’s workload during onboarding.

A Path for Every Need: Velocity Preferred vs. Velocity Exclusive

No matter your needs, Velocity is built with simplification, standardization and accelerated delivery in mind. Here are two pathways to modernize your AV systems fast.  

Option One: Velocity Preferred 

These off-the-shelf, pre-certified solutions are perfect for those who need to scale quickly. Whether you're deploying one room or hundreds, Velocity Preferred gives you predictable pricing, lead times, and fast installation. With proven consistency, these solutions ensure a seamless experience for organizations of any size.  

Option Two: Velocity Exclusive 

For those who have specific room design requirements, Velocity Exclusive delivers tailored solutions that pass through the Velocity certification process before being deployed. Once certified, these custom systems are delivered with the same speed, quality, and reliability as the Preferred option, but with more flexibility to meet your exact needs.

With FORTÉ’s Velocity Logistics Center, your tech is staged, tested, and ready to go before it arrives at your locations. Because we’ve deployed Velocity at scale for enterprise clients across industries, you get the benefit of experience without starting from scratch.
