Cyviz Pivots to Software with Unified AV & IoT Management Platform

OSLO, Norway – April 08, 2026 – Cyviz AS, a company known for its advanced visual collaboration and control room solutions, has announced a landmark initiative with the launch of its enhanced, unified software platform. The move signals a pivotal strategic transition for the Norwegian firm, shifting its focus from a historically project-based business toward becoming a technology- and platform-led company. The Cyviz Software Platform is engineered to help organizations monitor, manage, and optimize the increasingly convoluted web of Audio-Visual (AV) and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies through a single, cohesive software layer.

The official market launch is scheduled for April 16, 2026, and will be introduced through a series of global digital events.

Taming the Complexity of Modern Tech Stacks

Across mission-critical sectors like energy, defense, transportation, and large-scale enterprises, organizations are grappling with a growing paradox: the technologies meant to improve operations are becoming too complex to manage efficiently. These environments rely on a sprawling ecosystem of devices from multiple vendors, often managed with a patchwork of fragmented tools. This leads to limited operational visibility, increased risk of failure, and a perpetually reactive maintenance posture where teams are constantly fighting fires rather than preventing them.

This challenge is intensifying as two major technology trends converge. The first is the deep integration of AV and IT systems, where once-standalone presentation and communication hardware now resides on corporate networks, demanding network-centric management. The second is the explosive growth of IoT, which is connecting everything from building sensors to industrial equipment. The global IoT platform market alone is projected to swell from an estimated USD 36.4 billion in 2024 to over USD 107 billion by 2035. Similarly, the smart building market, which heavily relies on this integration, is on a trajectory to exceed USD 180 billion by 2032. Cyviz aims to address the operational gap created by this rapid expansion.

“Many organizations are struggling with the lack of one unified operational view,” said Espen Gylvik, CEO at Cyviz, in the company's announcement. “Ours is designed for greater control, confidence, and predictability in environments where reliability is critical.”

A Unified Command Center for Critical Operations

The Cyviz Software Platform moves beyond conventional AV management tools by explicitly unifying AV, IT, and Operational Technology (OT) into a single interface. While many monitoring tools focus on individual parts of the technology stack, Cyviz’s solution provides a holistic, real-time view across disparate systems. It is engineered to communicate with industrial protocols like BACnet and KNX for building automation, alongside established IT standards such as SNMP and SSH, allowing it to manage HVAC, lighting, and access control systems with the same ease as video walls and communication codecs.

At its core, the platform offers three key capabilities. First, it provides unified visibility, giving IT and operations teams a complete picture of their technology estate, regardless of vendor or location. Second, it delivers proactive intelligence through AI-assisted insights and predictive diagnostics, designed to identify potential issues before they cause system failures. This enables a shift from reactive service models to proactive, predictive maintenance, minimizing downtime and extending equipment life. Finally, it offers centralized control and remote management, empowering support teams to monitor systems around the clock, resolve faults remotely, and assist end-users without needing to be on-site.

This comprehensive approach is the result of the company's years of experience delivering and supporting some of the world's most demanding command and control environments.

A Strategic Shift to a Platform-Powered Future

The launch is far more than a new product release; it represents the central pillar in Cyviz’s long-term strategy to transform its business model. The company is actively moving to complement its project-based business with scalable, software-driven services that generate predictable, recurring revenue. This pivot is a direct response to market demands for more flexible, service-oriented technology solutions.

Financial indicators show this strategy is already gaining momentum. The company has reported significant growth in its Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR), which climbed 38% year-to-date in the third quarter of 2025. Cyviz has set an ambitious long-term target of reaching NOK 250 million in ARR by 2030, a goal for which this platform is the primary engine. While quarterly revenues from its project business can fluctuate, the firm has maintained a strong order backlog, suggesting robust underlying demand as it executes this strategic transition.

This shift toward a software-centric model has been a key theme in communications with the financial community since the company went public on the Oslo Stock Exchange in late 2020. The platform is positioned to provide a more stable and scalable revenue stream that is less susceptible to the timing of large-scale projects.

“We built this to solve real operational challenges for customers, while enabling our partners to scale services in a predictable and repeatable way,” Gylvik noted, highlighting the dual focus of the platform's strategy.

Building an Ecosystem for Growth and Security

A crucial component of Cyviz's strategy is the empowerment of its partner ecosystem, which includes system integrators and managed service providers. The platform is designed with a multi-tenant architecture, allowing partners to securely manage multiple customers from a single instance with full data segregation and independent access controls. This provides a scalable foundation for partners to move beyond project-based sales toward building their own repeatable, high-value managed service offerings and recurring revenue streams.

To foster innovation and customization, the platform is built on an open, developer-friendly architecture featuring a flexible SDK and plugin layer. This enables partners to extend the platform's capabilities to new device types, create custom workflows, or integrate with specialized industry-specific systems, allowing them to offer differentiated, branded services to their clients. The company has already seen significant traction, growing its partner network to 30 global partners by the end of 2025.

Given its focus on mission-critical industries, security is embedded into every layer of the platform's architecture. It incorporates end-to-end encryption, multi-factor authentication (MFA), role-based access control, and comprehensive audit logging. Further reinforcing its security posture, Cyviz has partnered with a dedicated security provider for 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) services, ensuring continuous monitoring, threat intelligence, and response capabilities. This robust security framework is essential for earning the trust of government, defense, and energy clients, where data integrity and system reliability are non-negotiable.
