 Space planning requires far more than aesthetic and spatial design. It is as much about what is inside the walls as the walls themselves. Facilities and office space planning require assessment of multiple technology-related issues critical to 21st century business communications and operations. s.calate offers a wide spectrum of services to assist in assessing office spaces from a technology perspective:
A thorough assessment of a building's exterior and interior technology infrastructure can prevent an organization from over investing time and money, and ensures maximum utilization of a facility's assets.
- Site Evaluations:
s.calate provides tangible value by reviewing technology-related site requirements relevant to a facility's usability, expandability and functionality. We evaluate existing conditions and risks, and recommend necessary improvements of all technology-related spaces. We then provide written documentation of findings and recommendations. s.calate consultants assess entrance facilities, proximity to carrier network and services, environmental and security requirements, adherence to cabling and infrastructure standards, and feasibility of local and competitive exchange carriers. By determining suitability for occupancy prior to lease or acquisition, we help our clients save time and negotiate the most favorable lease or purchase terms.
- Carrier Assessments:
Choice breeds questions... and often confusion. Today, the many available carrier choices for local and long-distance telephone services are further complicated by an organization's data communications and Internet requirements. s.calate consultants provide expert competitive analysis for carrier selection and help clients determine a facility's availability and accessibility to specific carrier services. We identify all practical client options such as utilizing Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLECs) or fiber versus copper entrance facilities. Finally, we assist with contract negotiations to determine an accurate and cost-effective mix of products and services for serving a facility.
