Velocity is built on a simple belief: predictability beats perfection. By standardizing the essentials, organizations can reduce rework, shorten deployment cycles, and create more consistent outcomes across multi-site collaboration environments.

FORTÉ customers in Germany, Sweden, Denmark, the United Kingdom, and Ireland, can now order Velocity Exclusive solutions immediately with delivery, installation, and support in select locations.

“Velocity was built to help organizations move quickly without sacrificing quality or reliability,” said Zach Valigura, Senior Vice President of Delivery at FORTÉ. “Bringing these solutions to Europe allows us to support customers with greater speed, consistency, and confidence as they refresh meeting room technology.”

Certified by FORTÉ

Velocity Certification is the process that turns a “one-time meeting room design” into a repeatable standard. FORTÉ validates each design, documents the build, standardizes the installation method, and operationalizes procurement and staging so it can be deployed consistently across locations.

Once certified, organizations can deploy the same approved standard when and where needed, without redesigning or reengineering every time. Pricing and lead times are delivered with a repeatable scope and delivery approach, with country-specific timelines and logistics based on the delivery plan.

Expanding Delivery Capabilities outside of the United States

To support this expansion, FORTÉ will open Velocity Logistics Centers in both Germany and the United Kingdom. The new logistics hubs will manage inventory, staging, and distribution across FORTÉ’s European footprint, enabling faster delivery and improved regional support for Velocity deployments.

This expansion reinforces FORTÉ’s commitment to delivering scalable, secure, and future-ready collaboration solutions that connect people, spaces, and technology anywhere work happens.
