Background:
The research and development department at a leading communications and media company in the Northeast had outgrown its space and its Internet and data capabilities. Compounding the difficulties was the fact that any upgrades to Internet and data capacity needed to be done quickly — within 10-14 weeks — to meet the critical business needs of the R&D department. This unique set of circumstances put IT and facilities officials in a difficult situation.
Results:
- Installed a SmartMod infrastructure solution at a remote location, providing needed data and Internet capacity without taking up more building space.
- Minimized downtime and productivity loss — deployed ten days before deadline.
- Reduced costs by minimizing installation time and eliminating the need for room upgrades in the main building.
- Integrated fire detection/suppression system helped to avoid the fire marshal’s lengthy inspection wait lists and increase overall safety.
- Permits for easy relocation for anticipated move to a new location.
