Asking for more

Everybody wants more from the buildings in which they live and work. The continual thirst for ‘any time – anywhere’ access to information has created a strong sense of the ‘virtual workspace’. But for facilities and IT managers, architects, surveyors and all those who ensure that our buildings are fit for business purpose - the challenges are anything but virtual! Whether we are looking at new-build environments or at the continual need to re-purpose and up-grade existing buildings, the pressure is unrelenting:

• New flexible working practices demand dynamic working space
• As business use changes, so must the space it occupies
• Heightened security and compliance impact building management and design
• Environmental responsibility has become a universal business obligation
• Investment costs must always be contained

One Tribe

Different infrastructure specialties have traditionally belonged to different tribes. Electrical contractors, networking and telecommunications companies, heating and ventilation professionals, CCTV and access system specialists – building design and management professionals had to juggle them all. Today, there is plenty of cross-over between these specialties. But be careful: just because an electrician can pull a data line doesn’t mean he’ll understand your real requirement.

To get the best results, Getronics suggests you ask two fundamental questions:

• Does the provider genuinely understand how you and your people need to work?
• Can the provider help maximise the value of the related ICT?
