About Us
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.
Our People
Our people are the heart of CTI. From engineers and designers to project managers and service specialists, every member of our team shares a common goal: helping our customers succeed.
At CTI, you will find a team that listens first, acts quickly, adapts as your needs change, and takes pride in delivering a level of service that goes beyond the technology itself. Our expertise, creativity, and dedication are what truly set us apart.
How We Work
We do not believe in one-size-fits-all approaches. Every design, every install, and every service plan is built around what matters most to you. CTI approaches every project with three promises:
Our Commitment to You
When you partner with CTI, you are choosing a team that is invested in your success. We work hard to make sure your technology works the way you need it to, when you need it most. Our goal is simple: to deliver solutions and support you can trust, without complication or confusion.
