s.calate consultants provide skilled project management throughout the design, planning, procurement and implementation process.

Design is step one. It is the foundation for cost-effective, efficient and scalable technology solutions. s.calate helps clients design solutions based on business objectives, users requirements, functional and technical specifications, technology standards, operational and capital budgets, facility and lease obligations, and environmental issues.

Challenging design considerations often impede the translation of technology needs into facility and space requirements. s.calate consultants ensure consistent communication among all project stakeholders through regularly scheduled team work sessions and a proven methodology for checks and balances.

s.calate consultants are expert in the managing the design process for Automatic Call Distribution, IVR, speech recognition, CTI and CRM, telephone systems (including Voice over IP), voice messaging systems, voice and data networks and Internet services. In addition, we provide expert project management for the design of computer and server rooms, data centers, network closets and other technology-intensive spaces such as boardrooms, laboratories and customer demonstration and training areas.

Planning is step two. With a sound design off the drawing board and approved, the planning process takes center stage. s.calate specializes in managing all aspects of project planning and takes responsibility for meeting project commitments. We create and manage budgets and timelines, lead our clients through the process in a collaborative manner and ensure that information is clearly and consistently communicated among all project team members.

Procurement is step three. In order to simplify the vendor selection process, s.calate develops bid requirement/specification documents (Request for Proposal) and distributes them to qualified vendors to ensure consistent responses and competitive pricing. s.calate manages the selection and procurement process by coordinating the document distribution, bidderıs conference and vendor interface throughout the submittal period. We review and evaluate all qualified responses and make recommendations for vendor selection based upon our clientıs pre-determined selection criteria.

s.calate is skilled in negotiating vendor contract terms and conditions. Our negotiations frequently involve multi-million acquisitions, and our direct involvement in many negotiations has resulted in our clients attaining extremely competitive pricing with maximum protection from vendor liabilities.

Implementation is the final step. And it's all about execution... getting great design from the drawing board to the end user. s.calate has built an outstanding "roll up the sleeves and get it done" reputation in managing systems installation and facilities construction.
