Client Meeting

Believing in the importance of accurate project definition and roles, the initial Client Meeting stage of the project is probably one of the most important and will have a direct relation to the success of the overall project. During this stage, D(SIGN)AGE project managers will ensure that all of the project goals are defined to an adequate level of detail. Working in a round table type environment, the customer will be assured that their true requirements are taken to task by our Project Team. Once the project goals have been defined, our Project Team will begin to specify the customer's particular facility requirements. Equipment and integration decisions on issues such as edit room layouts, router specifications, satellite receiving requirements, etc. will begin at this point in the project. Please note that it is of critical importance for the customer to specify the facility and project design constraints at this stage. Identifying the true limitations of the project, including such items as budgetary constraints, timeframe issues, construction requirements, licensing, etc. will provide important guidelines. With all of these items defined and documented, a clear project path will begin to take form.

Project Specification Development

Once the initial information gathered during the Client Meetings has been formalized, the D(SIGN)AGE Project Team will expand on these initial specifications by developing a project timeline including all identifiable and not-yet-known factors. With this timeline drawn out, it will become easy to trace critical paths and critical project dependencies. This living document will act to guide both the client and the Project Team. Once timelines and critical paths have been specified, D(SIGN)AGE will begin to assign resources to the project ranging from Project Managers to installation staff. This will begin to solidify the project timeline, and secure necessary resources.

Preliminary Design

With the initial project specification complete, the Project Team can move into the preliminary technical and physical design stage. Based on client meetings and the current project specification, the D(SIGN)AGE design team will develop preliminary functional drawings with equipment and rack layouts, mechanical requirements, millwork designs, etc. The equipment specification process will also commence to better define some of the design and functionality parameters for the project. This interactive design process will rely heavily on client involvement to ensure that the designs conform to the actual parameters for the facilities. Our Project Team, as well as the client, will gather definitive benefit from our experience and varied expertise of the D(SIGN)AGE resource team during this stage of the project.

Facility Visit

Once the client has had opportunity to review and approve the preliminary design package, key members of the D(SIGN)AGE Project Team will arrange to visit the client site to ensure that all design issues are addressed at an early stage of the project. The physical facility will be examined for certain broadcast critical design items including review of the electrical system, mechanical system and general issues. Space planning will also be a critical portion of this project phase to ensure the best use and end functionality.

Design Review

Once the site visit has been completed, the preliminary designs will be reviewed and modified to ensure that all issues have been addressed and project goals satisfied. Once these design revisions are complete, the client will be presented with a final set of drawings that embrace all of the facility requirements for approval. One final pass on the project schedule will ensure that all items are given due priority and dependencies are clearly identified. With the equipment specifications and requirements nearing completion, we will work with the client to ensure the required functionality and infrastructure can be provided within the capital budgets specified.

Material Definition

Once the project designs have been approved and accepted by the client, the D(SIGN)AGE Project Team can now move on to fully define and specify all required equipment. Major equipment supply requirements can be developed at this point to ensure that all technical requirements are adhered by the respective equipment manufacturers.

Physical Installation

Based upon our experience and skill D(SIGN)AGE will be able to ensure a high standard of installation. Because of our commitment to maintaining high quality installation personnel, D(SIGN)AGE is able to draw on this team of resources to provide as many personnel as is necessary to complete the project in the target timeframe.

Design Revision

With the obvious dynamic nature of these leading edge broadcast designs, our Project Team will ensure that the client is involved at every stage of the facility installation. Design and facility changes will be quickly identified and rolled into reality.

Facility Commissioning

The final stage of our project success path involves ensuring that each of the original design parameters and requirements has been satisfied. Each piece of equipment will be fully tested, configured and/or aligned to ensure that it is ready to use. All cables and paths will be verified to ensure continuity and signal integrity.

Functionality Review

Our Project Team will once again meet with the client to ensure that all of the project design parameters and functionality requirements have been satisfied. Any outstanding issues, whether installation or equipment related will be identified and tagged with a resolution date. A clear path to the project completion will be defined.

Final Documentation

A final set of drawings, configuration information and equipment documentation will be turned over to the client team. A set of electronic and hard copy of the drawings will be provided.

Project Termination

Once each of the remaining issues has been resolved and the final documentation turned over and approved, the project will be closed.
