PIVIUM

What PIVIUM does

PIVIUM (legal entity PIVIUM, Inc.) is a Phoenix, Arizona-based audio-visual design and integration firm originally founded in 1991 as D&L Communications and rebranded to PIVIUM circa 2022. The company positions itself as a nationwide, full-service design and integration partner targeting architects and facility owners in healthcare and commercial end markets. Its service portfolio spans four phases — AV Consulting, AV Planning & Design, Implementation & Support, and Lifecycle Management — delivered through centralized project management from the Phoenix headquarters with technical teams deployed across major metropolitan areas.

The company's solution stack includes Digital Art displays, Digital Wayfinding systems, Digital Signage, Digital Ink Displays (e-paper with 5+ year battery life and EMR integration), Sound Design and masking, Direct View LED video walls, commercial and healthcare-grade Displays, Life Safety (nurse call and emergency alert) systems, Content Design, and DirecTV integration for healthcare. PIVIUM also distributes a broad hardware catalog (commercial TVs, healthcare-grade UL-listed TVs, mounts, cabling infrastructure) sourced from manufacturer partners including LG, Samsung, DirecTV, PDi, Chief, GCX, and Independa.

The business model is a hybrid of professional services (consulting, design, installation) and managed services (lifecycle management, 24/7 monitoring), supplemented by hardware resale. Pricing is custom project-based with no publicly disclosed tiers; engagements are scoped per facility and contracted on multi-year terms. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales via consultative engagement with architects, healthcare facility owners, and corporate clients, supported by content marketing, whitepapers, and active participation in ASHE, AIA, AVIXA, NSCA, and InfoComm. Healthcare is the primary vertical, with sub-segments across hospitals, dialysis/oncology, long-term care, ambulatory/outpatient, and senior living; commercial work spans hospitality, sports arenas, retail, banking, education, and cultural institutions.
