GPA Builds on #1 Global Ranking with Continued Growth and Expansion

Over the past several years, GPA has gone from strength to strength — expanding its global footprint, deepening its technical capabilities, and continuing to raise the standard for what enterprise customers expect from a truly global AV/UC partner.

A key milestone in that journey came in 2022, when GPA was ranked #1 on the SCN Top 50 Systems Integrators list, published by Systems Contractor News. This recognition marked a defining moment — validating the collective strength of the GPA network and its position as the world’s leading AV systems integrator.

Since then, GPA has continued to build on that foundation, further strengthening its delivery capability, global reach, and partner alignment. Today, the network is larger,
more connected, and better equipped than ever to support multinational organisations at scale.

As the official GPA partner in New Zealand, Connect NZ brings this global capability directly to local customers — combining on-the-ground expertise with the backing of one of the most powerful AV/UC networks in the world.

For us at Connect NZ, being part of GPA means more than global reach — it’s about consistency, shared standards, and access to a depth of expertise that simply isn’t
possible in isolation. We’re able to deliver solutions in New Zealand that align with global best practice while still tailoring outcomes to local needs.

GPA operates a collaborative global model, with Regional Business Units working under a shared ownership structure. Together, the network brings thousands of AV/UC specialists across more than 150 cities worldwide, enabling consistent delivery and support wherever customers operate.

This translates into real advantages for our customers. Whether supporting a New Zealand-based organisation expanding offshore or delivering for a global client
locally, we ensure the same standards, user experience, and outcomes are maintained across every location.

As GPA continues to evolve, this global alignment allows us to extend our delivery and support capabilities far beyond New Zealand — giving our customers access to seamless global execution backed by local expertise.

For our customers, this means confidence — knowing they are working with a local partner backed by a globally connected organisation, with the scale, capability, and
consistency to deliver anywhere in the world.
