Global systems integrator AVI-SPL has announced the launch of its enterprise mission critical practice within its XTG division at InfoComm 2026.
The practice introduces a new category of purpose-built operational environment that brings together AI, integrated systems, and purposeful physical design to help enterprises act decisively in a world that is more unpredictable than at any point in recent history.
Business interruption has ranked as a top global business risk for multiple consecutive years. Yet 80% of companies increasing investment in security and resilience still report feeling behind, according to research from Gartner and Accenture. This gap is the space between information and action, and that is precisely where AVI-SPL’s Enterprise Mission Critical practice operates.
“We are living through a fundamental shift in how enterprises need to operate,” said Tim Riek, chief strategy officer at AVI-SPL. “AI is now surfacing patterns and anticipating risks faster than any human team could on its own. But that capability is only valuable if it reaches the right people, in the right context, at the right moment. The environment where that happens must be intentionally designed. That is an EMC space.”
The practice is built around a fusion-driven model that brings cyber, physical, and operational data together in a single operational picture; a Fusion-driven environment.
Fusion-driven environments serve three core use cases: Fusion Centres, Enterprise Control Rooms, and Global Security Operations Centres (GSOCs). Each is designed to create shared understanding and coordinated action, enabling organisations to see earlier, move faster, and respond as one team rather than a collection of siloed functions.
AVI-SPL’s methodology spans four disciplines: Decision Flow (how AI-generated and operational information moves and who acts on it), Experience Design (reducing cognitive load so teams can think clearly under pressure), System Integration (connecting existing platforms and AI tools into a unified view), and Operational Readiness.
