Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
Syska Hennessy Group’s information and communication technology (ICT) team provides a suite of technology design and consulting services encompassing building automation, cyber security and virtualization for projects of every size, budget or sector.
In 1986, Syska launched an in-house, low-voltage systems group to meet client demand for dedicated technology services. Since then, technology has driven a lifetime’s worth of innovation, and we’ve been at the forefront of helping design, upgrade and maintain technology systems for each unique environment—from large, complex, mixed-use developments to boutique interiors. We perform master planning and project management consulting to set the technology framework.
We bring comprehensive experience from projects for leading academic campuses, critical facilities, data centers, call centers, healthcare environments, high-density financial trading floors and office interiors, for clients from state-of-the-art lab and science building at Cooper Union in New York City, to the mega mixed-use Lotte World Tower in Seoul, South Korea, to the new patient tower for Danbury Hospital in Danbury, Connecticut.

Audiovisual Systems to Increase Collaboration and Productivity
Syska designs audiovisual (AV) systems to improve collaboration, productivity and enhance presentations that bring clients closer to their audiences. As a certified audiovisual solutions provider (CAVSP), we design solutions for conference rooms, broadcast and post-production, emergency and command control centers, theaters, and unified communication systems with converged AV & IT networks. For AIG’s headquarters in downtown New York City, we created two feature displays in the main lobby—one at the ground level and one at the mezzanine—resulting in the largest-scale digital video display of its kind.

Program Management Done Right
We coordinate all aspects of our clients’ projects by creating and managing project schedules, dependencies, timeframes, and budgets. We maintain close client communication by monitoring and reporting the progress and health of each project. For Time Inc.’s headquarters relocation, we managed not only the full design and construction administration of the low-voltage cable plant, security system, and AV platform, we also managed the carrier circuitry process including installation. We were the main on-site contact, managing the integrator resources, serving as client liaison, and coordinating all aspects of installation.
