ANALYSIS:

This is the first and most important step in the entire process, it includes the comprehensive analysis of:

• Company structure, divisions, departments, and work groups.
• Physical layout and study of the facility.
• Information flow requirements and/or restrictions.
• Resource sharing, i.e., processors, applications, data bases, individual files, etc.
• Current and proposed future systems and anticipated equipment changes.
• Current and future interface specifications and transmission requirements.
• Projected growth and frequency of adds, moves & changes.

SOLUTION DESIGN:

Provide the client organization with the most cost effective, efficient, and practical cabling system possible.

• Meet the connectivity requirements for voice, data, and audio/video.
• Address any practical integration of other systems and or services.
• Provide a uniform cabling plan including all termination's.
• Comply with all applicable local, federal, and state codes, as well as, the appropriate industry standards.
• Provide flexibility for future expansion and or modifications.
• Detailed layouts for equipment rooms, closets, patch panels, distribution frames, etc.

RECOMMENDATION:

Based on a complete "Needs Analysis" and preliminary "Design," we will bring forward a recommendation detailing the various components of the proposed solution.

• Recommend a cabling topology.
• Recommend type(s) of media to be used.
• Recommend all connectivity components.
• Identify alternatives were applicable.
• Highlight the advantages & disadvantages of the recommendations made.
• Discuss and refine the recommendations with the client and other providers using the transport media solution as necessary.
• Develop a Request for Proposal (RFP) or bid document.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT:

Insure the most efficient use of all resources through detailed planning and coordination with other trades and interest groups.

• On-Site Project Manager.
• Regular coordination meetings with the client.
• Coordinate with the General Contractor its sub-contractors, architects, designers, and planners.
• Activation of resources, as required, to meet scheduling requirements of the project.
• Planning of daily activities in coordination with other trades.
• Daily quality assurance inspections and or testing.
• Daily record keeping, prepare status reports as requested by the G.C. and or the client.

MATERIALS MANAGEMENT:

Having performed the Analysis, Solution Design, and Recommendation, we are familiar with the specific materials and components that will be required to implement the designed solution successfully. Some of the tasks involved are:

• Development of a detailed "Bill of Materials" including manufacturers names and part numbers.
• Gain client and General Contractor's approval of all proposed materials and components.
• Provide submittals and or cut sheets as required.
• Obtain competitive pricing on all materials
• Make sure that all selected suppliers are reliable and can meet delivery requirements.
• Receive and inspect all materials as they arrive on the job site.
• Provide secure storage for all materials.

INSTALLATION:

C-D pays special attention to the quality of craftsmanship provided on all of our projects. Our installation crews are made up of only qualified and properly trained technicians working under the direction of an on site supervisor.

Together the Project Manager and Installation Supervisor make sure that the contracted scope of work is performed on time and within budget.

Upon completion of the installation and cable termination phases of the project the installation team will perform the specified industry standard testing. When requested, state of the art certification and documentation can be provided.

All points of termination will be properly labeled in accordance with the job specification.

On larger projects and or when requested, a technician(s) from the installation team will be assigned to be on hand the first day the new cabling infrastructure is put into service.

TESTING & CERTIFICATION:

If requested and/or required by the client, Connectivity Design can perform in-depth testing and certification of virtually any type of data cabling. This type of testing provides a detailed report (printout) of each cables electrical or optical characteristics and a certification statement of compliance with the most current standards operating between 1 Khz and 350 Mhz.

All testing is performed based on the industry standards as established and published by recognized boards and committees i.e..

• Institute of Electrical And Electronic Engineers (IEEE)
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
• Electronics Industry Association (EIA)
• Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA)
• Building Industry Consulting Services Intl. (BICSI)
• Uniform Service Order Code (USOC)

SUMMARY
