CTI helps organizations make smarter business decisions about technology acquisitions.

CTI helps organizations make smarter decisions about audiovisual technology investments. We work with you to balance financial, operational, procurement, and user experience priorities. Our goal is to ensure every project supports your broader business objectives and delivers long-term value.

Strategic Areas Include

  • Accounting and budget considerations, including CapEx, OpEx, ASC 842 and IFRS 16 lease accounting, fiscal-year constraints, and IRS Section 179

  • Hardware refresh schedules and long-term technology lifecycle planning

  • Global hardware standardization across offices, facilities, and regions

  • Procurement and invoicing requirements

  • Sustainability and supplier diversity initiatives

  • Leasing economics and contract evaluation

  • Defining what “as a Service” means for your organization

  • Complex financial analysis and modeling

Aligning AV Technology with Business Outcomes

Every organization approaches technology investment differently. One company may be trying to preserve capital while another needs to deploy before the end of a fiscal year. Some are evaluating the accounting implications of leasing under ASC 842 or IFRS 16, while others are looking to standardize technology across dozens of offices or prepare for a global hardware refresh.

CTI helps organizations evaluate these competing priorities and identify the funding and acquisition strategy that best supports your business goals.

This approach can help CEOs, CFOs, finance teams, procurement leaders, IT executives, and technology managers evaluate questions such as:

  • Should we purchase, lease, or consume AV as a service?
  • How do our fiscal-year deadlines affect deployment?
  • What are the accounting implications of different financing structures?
  • Should we own this equipment or plan for regular refreshes?
  • How do we standardize AV globally while simplifying procurement?

In-House Technology Finance Expertise

CTI’s financial solutions specialists have extensive backgrounds in technology equipment finance. Unlike many audiovisual solution providers that rely entirely on third parties for this expertise, CTI can help clients evaluate project priorities before introducing a funding partner.

We work to understand the client’s objectives, project profile, accounting considerations, deployment schedule, and geographic requirements. CTI can then help align those priorities with an appropriate funding partner for domestic or international audiovisual technology projects.

Audiovisual Financing and Leasing Options

Available structures may include:

  • Fair market value leasing
  • $1 buyout leases and other loan structures
  • Hybrid structures combining elements of fair market value and $1 buyout arrangements
  • Municipal financing structures for state government, local government, and higher education
  • As-a-service solutions, defined around the client’s specific requirements
  • Short-term solutions of fewer than 12 months

The appropriate structure depends on the client’s financial objectives, accounting requirements, credit profile, equipment lifecycle, and plans for ownership or refresh.
