Review and test your AV systems with Audit+

An AV technology audit provides a detailed assessment of your existing audio visual and video conferencing estate, giving you a clear understanding of the equipment, infrastructure and room technologies currently in operation. As AV environments evolve, asset records often become outdated, equipment can be relocated, and performance issues may emerge over time. An AV audit creates an accurate picture of your estate, helping you make informed decisions about support, upgrades and future investment.

Cinos’ Audit+ service goes beyond a simple equipment inventory. Our specialists assess room functionality, equipment condition, system performance and lifecycle status to identify opportunities for improvement and highlight any technical or operational risks. The resulting audit can support everything from technology refresh programmes and service transitions through to new procurement exercises and long-term AV strategy planning.

Whether you are looking to optimise an existing deployment, prepare for an office move, validate your support requirements or plan future investments, Audit+ provides the insight needed to ensure your AV and collaboration technologies continue to deliver value to your organisation.

An AV site survey provides organisations with a clear and accurate understanding of their existing audio visual and video conferencing estate. Over time, technology environments can become difficult to manage as equipment is relocated, documentation becomes outdated, and user requirements evolve. Through Audit+, Cinos assesses your existing systems, room functionality, equipment condition and infrastructure, helping you identify technical issues, uncover opportunities for improvement and establish a roadmap for future investment.

The insights gained from an AV audit can also deliver significant financial and operational benefits. Rather than replacing technology unnecessarily, organisations can make informed decisions based on the performance, lifecycle and suitability of existing assets. This approach can help maximise previous investments, reduce operational risk and ensure future upgrades are aligned to business objectives. We have helped organisations such as Caterpillar evaluate and optimise complex AV estates, while a recent Audit+ engagement for a Leading SaaS Provider enabled the creation of a global meeting room standard by repurposing existing equipment where possible and introducing new technologies only where they delivered genuine value.

Whether you’re planning a technology refresh, looking to improve collaboration experiences, preparing for a managed support service or evaluating a newly acquired estate, our Audit+ service provides the insight needed to make confident, informed decisions and maximise the return on your AV investment.

Any organisation that relies on audio visual technology to communicate, collaborate or deliver services can benefit from an AV technology audit. However, Audit+ is particularly valuable for organisations with larger or more complex AV estates, multiple meeting spaces, ageing technology, or plans to upgrade and standardise their environments. An audit provides a clear picture of the existing estate, helping decision-makers understand what equipment they own, how effectively it is performing and where improvements or future investments may be required.

We regularly see value across corporate workplaces, government and public sector organisations, healthcare providers, educational institutions and hospitality venues. For example, corporate organisations can use an audit to assess meeting rooms and video conferencing systems, while healthcare providers may wish to evaluate MDT rooms and collaboration spaces that support critical discussions between clinical teams. Similarly, universities, local authorities and large public-facing organisations can benefit from understanding the condition, performance and lifecycle status of their AV assets before embarking on technology refresh programmes.

Ultimately, any organisation looking to improve user experiences, maximise existing technology investments or gain greater visibility of its AV estate can benefit from our Audit+ service. Whether the goal is to support future procurement, identify technical issues, prepare for a managed support service or establish a long-term technology roadmap, an AV audit provides the insight needed to make informed decisions with confidence.

Cinos’ Audit+ AV survey provides a comprehensive assessment of your audio visual and video conferencing estate, creating a clear and accurate record of the technology deployed across your organisation. During the survey, our specialists capture key information including equipment make and model, serial numbers, asset locations, system configuration, room functionality and the overall condition of the installed technology. We also assess how effectively each space is operating, identifying any performance issues, compatibility concerns or equipment that may be approaching end of life.

Beyond asset identification, our Audit+ service evaluates the wider user experience and operational effectiveness of your AV environments. This includes reviewing room layouts, meeting room workflows, integration with collaboration platforms, supporting network infrastructure and any technical issues that may be impacting adoption or reliability. The result is a detailed picture of your current estate, highlighting opportunities to optimise performance, improve user experiences and reduce support overheads.

The findings are presented in a structured format that can be used to support future procurement exercises, technology refresh programmes, managed service onboarding or long-term AV planning. Whether you are managing a handful of meeting rooms or a large, multi-site estate, Audit+ provides the insight needed to make informed decisions and ensure your AV technology continues to meet the needs of your organisation.

At Cinos, our Audit+ service is built on the same ‘Believe in Excellence’ ethos that underpins every engagement we undertake. We take the time to understand your organisation, identify opportunities for improvement and provide clear, actionable recommendations that support your long-term objectives. Our qualified project managers and certified engineers adopt a consultative approach to every audit, combining detailed asset discovery with a thorough assessment of how your technology is being used, how it is performing and how it can evolve to better support your users, operational requirements and future goals.

Unlike a simple equipment inventory, Audit+ considers the wider technology ecosystem. Our expertise spans Audio Visual, Collaboration, Connectivity, Networks, Security, and Infrastructure, enabling us to assess not only the AV equipment within a room but also the supporting technologies that influence performance, reliability and user experience. This broader perspective helps organisations make informed decisions about future investments, technology refreshes and support requirements whilst ensuring solutions align with wider business goals.

Whether you’re managing a small number of meeting spaces or a large, multi-site AV estate, Audit+ provides an accurate picture of your current environment and a clear roadmap for improvement. Backed by sector-leading customer retention, globally recognised accreditations and extensive experience across the public and private sectors, Cinos is perfectly placed to act as a trusted technology partner throughout your AV lifecycle.
