Who We Are
At CTI, we believe technology should empower you, not complicate your day. As one of the largest privately held audio visual integration companies in the United States, we’re known for providing fast, fair, and flexible solutions that bring your ideas to life. Whether you’re collaborating across campuses, hosting critical meetings, or broadcasting to the world, we’re here to make your AV technology work smarter for you.
Our approach is simple: We listen first. We tailor every solution to your unique needs instead of forcing you into a one-size-fits-all package. From design and installation to long-term support and managed services, CTI ensures your technology keeps pace with your ambitions.
Our Story
CTI was founded in 1988 with a simple mission to create audio visual solutions that connect people, ideas, and possibilities. From humble beginnings, we grew by doing things differently, focusing on relationships instead of transactions and keeping the promises we make.
Over the years, our passion for innovation and commitment to service have fueled our growth. Through every milestone, including expanding our expertise and welcoming new partners like Vistacom into the CTI family, we have stayed true to our roots. People first, always.
Today, we are proud to support organizations of all sizes with the same care and attention that built our foundation.
