OUR APPROACH

Why take a phase approach?

If you’re used to handing off your entire project to one company, the idea of completing it in phases may seem unconventional.

By taking a phased approach to our projects, we allow you to be in control. Looking for a company that can help with one or two aspects of your project? We’ll take the reins and free up your time to work on your normal day-to-day tasks. Need a company that can handle a project from beginning to end? We’ll personally see to it that our project specialist partners complete it on time and on budget.

Learn more about our phases below, and don’t hesitate to reach out to our team with any questions.

Plan

During the Planning phase, we’ll give you the foundation you need to embark on a project you’ll be proud to claim.

PROCURE

We’ll thoughtfully procure any labor and equipment needed for the functionality of your project.

MANAGE

From managing our project specialists to setting timelines and/or negotiating rates, we’ll manage all the details for you.

SUPPORT

We’ll provide ongoing support and preventative maintenance, long after your systems have been installed.

Why take a phased approach?

THERE ARE MULTIPLE PHASES TO EVERY TECHNOLOGY PROJECT. THE TEAM AT PHASE INTEGRATION TAKES AWAY THE CONFUSION AND NOISE TO PROVIDE A SINGLE SOLUTION.

Whether you are looking for help just getting your project off the ground or planning an international technology deployment, the team at Phase Integration can lend a helping hand.

Our solutions-focused approach can be applied to a single phase of your project or from beginning to end.

Learn more about the major phases below, and please reach out to our team with any questions.

MANUFACTURER SELECTION

Equipment selection process which includes demonstrations, warranty coverage reviews and obtaining manufacturer discounts when available

VENDOR SELECTION

From managing the bid process (if necessary) to working with your existing partners. We find the technology integrators and independent specialists qualified to perform at the level needed to meet the project needs.

SYSTEM DESIGN

Complete design and engineering of the system to be in-line with functional requirements discovered during project mapping

One of the most important steps of any project is to assess your needs, determine your budget, and lay out your timelines. During the Planning phase, we’ll analyze each piece and give you the foundation you need to embark on a project you’ll be proud to claim.

What’s your budget?
What’s your timeline?
What are your technology requirements?

Procure

After you’ve laid the ground work for a successful project, it’s time to blueprint how you can implement it. Labor resources and equipment
are two crucial parts of this process. We will work with labor resources and equipment manufacturers based on your specific needs.

Labor Resources

Nation wide network
Independent specialists
Local integrators

Equipment

Careful product selection
Leasing programs
Direct manufacture discounts

Integration

Engineering new technology to integrate into pre-existing systems.

Collaboration

Collaborating with interior designers and furniture vendors to design fully integrated rooms.

Packages
