CGC promotes technological collaboration in Oil & Gas together with Newtech Group

In line with its modernization strategy and operational efficiency goals, Compañía General de Combustibles (CGC) carried out an ambitious technology transformation project at its headquarters.

Developed in collaboration with Newtech Group, the initiative aimed to equip workspaces with state-of-the-art audiovisual infrastructure, enabling hybrid collaboration and decision-making in a sector known for its high operational criticality.

A comprehensive rollout across multiple spaces

The project included the design, installation, and integration of technology solutions across different types of rooms, tailored to the specific requirements of each environment. In this context, the modernization of meeting rooms was key to standardizing the experience and ensuring reliable hybrid meetings. The spaces upgraded included:

• Backpack Rooms, designed for agile meetings and direct connectivity with Microsoft Teams.
• Management offices and common areas, equipped to support hybrid meetings and everyday presentations.
• Divisible Room, an auditorium-style space made up of five modular rooms that can operate independently or be dynamically combined through an intuitive touch system.
• Board Room, Board Offices, and CAVA Room, executive environments with high technical requirements for strategic presentations and mission-critical video conferences.
• Monitoring Room, the operational hub with LED visualization and centralized control systems to supervise company operations in real time.

Cutting-edge technology and tailored design

Newtech’s approach combined collaboration platforms Microsoft Teams Rooms with high-end audio, video, and control systems, ensuring seamless, reliable, and user-friendly experiences.

To maintain that end-to-end quality, the project relied on a set of equipment selected based on each room’s use case and level of operational criticality.

A key aspect was optimizing existing resources. In several offices, previous equipment was reused, while the Newtech team handled structured cabling upgrades, mounting, and integration—delivering a complete technology refresh without disrupting CGC’s day-to-day operations.

Project scope

The rollout included the modernization of:

• 28 Backpack Rooms
• 58 Management Offices
• 6 Common Areas
• 1 Divisible Room (with 5 combinable modules)
• 2 Board Rooms
• 2 Board Offices
• 1 CAVA Room
• 1 Monitoring Room

Execution took place between early in the year and August, in a dynamic process that incorporated new spaces as implementation phases progressed.

Strategic benefits for CGC

The new collaborative infrastructure enabled CGC to:

• Standardize the meeting experience across all spaces, regardless of room scale or profile.
• Improve coordination between technical and executive teams, facilitating real-time communication in mission-critical environments.
• Increase operational efficiency, reducing preparation times and technical resolution time in every interaction.
• Boost adoption of hybrid work models, providing intuitive and reliable tools for internal and external users, supported by best practices in adoption and change management.
• Scale its technology infrastructure in an orderly way, with a design that enables future expansions without complex restructures.

This comprehensive approach positions CGC with a modern, scalable infrastructure aligned with the strategic challenges of the energy industry, where the ability to coordinate distributed teams and make timely decisions is critical.

A project backed by leading brands

This success story was made possible thanks to collaboration with global benchmark technology brands, including LG, Shure, Crestron, Poly, among others, whose products and platforms are part of a robust, future-ready technology architecture.

For Newtech Group, this project represents a milestone within its strategy to support leading companies as they evolve toward hybrid and digitally integrated work environments, combining specialized expertise, technological innovation, and high-level execution.
