How we work with clients

Communication is the key to any successful project

1. Find out what the client wants
2. Investigate what can be done to achieve this
3. Explain the possible solutions clearly
4. Mutually agree on a solution and how it will integrate with their current systems
5. Design the solution and schedule the rollout with the client
6. Deliver the solution

“Communication is nothing if it isn’t honest and open”

How we plan a project

There are three critically important areas in planning a project

1. Due Diligence – Surveying and analysing the current network.
This information is key to any successful project avoiding additional costs and delays.
2. Designing – Understanding, building and testing your solution
3. Scheduling – All technical projects are best achieved by breaking them up into smaller prioritized tasks

“Great things are done by a series of small things brought together”

How we deliver and assess progress

Deliver the project with the client as the number one focus
Plan all installs with client to minimise impact on the network
Communicate and document all installations
All installations signed off by the client to ensure satisfaction
Schedule all tasks in a rollout plan to ensure successful progress

“When the customer comes first, the customer will last”

Quality Management

We ensure quality in all aspects of our work

Physical aspect

– Hardware installed in racks correctly
– Ensure sufficient space and power for new equipment
– Cabling neat and tidy in cable management
– All cable patching recorded before and after
– Pictures and videos taken before and after each install

Logical Aspect

– Configuration templates created to ensure consistancy
– All hardware configurations recorded before and after installs
– Scripts created or Management Platforms to check for any configuration deviations
– User acceptance testing – Clients to check that all programmes they use on a daily basis before sign off

Customer satisfaction is the only indicator of a successful project

“When your out of quality, you are out of business”
