AVI-SPL, the company behind the iconic Dublin Portal Livestream linking the capital with Times Square in New York, has opened a customer experience centre in Tallaght, Dublin.  VI-SPL has so far invested €6.2 million since entering the Irish market.

AVI-SPL is a modern workplace system integration company operating in more than 70 offices globally and partnering with 86% of the Fortune 100 listed companies. It offers end-to-end design, deployment, and managed services of audiovisual, unified communications and collaboration technology across all sectors including finance, professional services, technology and pharmaceutical.

The company entered the Irish market in 2022 with the acquisition of Irish-based AV integrator, Sonics AVI and has since tripled its headcount here as it continues to grow. Within Ireland alone, AVI-SPL customers range from local enterprises to global blue-chips with presence in-county, such as LinkedIn and Workhuman.

Mike Kellaway, managing director, UK & Ireland, AVI-SPL, said: “Our investment in Ireland reflects the huge potential we see here.  The new experience centre allows our teams to deliver best global practices right here in Ireland, offering our clients a hands-on look at the next generation of workplace technology – enabling our clients to reduce complexity and boost collaboration return on investment.

“Our growth projections reflect the rapidly increasing demand for top-tier office space and reduction in commercial premises vacancies in Ireland. Through our experience with the biggest brands globally, we can accelerate businesses to the next phase of their growth journeys.” 

Thomas Stone, president of South Dublin Chamber of Commerce, said: “The opening of this world-class Customer Experience Centre today is a powerful endorsement of South Dublin as a dynamic hub for innovation and enterprise. By bringing cutting-edge solutions and expertise, this investment not only elevates our local economy but also creates new opportunities for collaboration and growth across the wider business landscape.”

Colin Barrett, general manager, AVI-SPL Ireland, said: “The opening of our customer experience centre is a milestone event for us in Ireland. Through the centre, we will showcase leading-edge enterprises the workplace technologies as they would be implemented in onsite corporate environments, from boardrooms to multi-purpose collaboration spaces. This is an exciting period for our business with huge growth opportunities, as organisations everywhere navigate the complex nature of hybrid work.”
