AV Lighting and Broadcast System Support - AfterCARE

AfterCARE is CSD’s structured ongoing support program for mission-critical AV, lighting, and broadcast systems. It defines how support is accessed, how systems are monitored, how maintenance is performed, and how lifecycle risk is managed after turnover.
