Why Technology Designers Play a Pivotal Role in Successful Command Centers

Summary: Working with technology designers can save you money, time, and effort on your command center project.

Technology designers plays a key role in the overall success of a command center. Just like architects and engineers have an indispensable place within the overall design, the technology designer is now a critical component to a successful output.

Leaving the Past Behind

This is more of a non-traditional approach to design – essentially moving away from the 20th century way of thinking. This may require some adjustment in the thinking of clients, architects, and the rest of the team, but it’s also an absolute necessity when it comes to successful command center projects – which ironically relies on technology to thrive.

The Technology Designer Must be Involved from the Get-Go

The time to utilize a technology designer is at the beginning stages of the project, never in the middle or towards the end. The reason behind this is that the technology designer can assist the owner in making strategic decisions which will have a significant impact on the overall success of the project. For instance, say you bring in a technology designer to take a look at the blueprints that the architect has drawn out and sees major flaws. It’d obviously require a redesign and because you haven’t started the construction phase yet, it shouldn’t pose much of a threat to additional costs.

Remember, a technology designer can discover things like insufficient data centers, flawed video display placement, and inappropriate space, which all correlate to productivity and functionality. By catching problems like these and changing the design early on, thousands and thousands of dollars, along with months of wasted time and effort, could be saved.

 

How a Command Center Can Strengthen a Company

Summary: A command center, when implemented well, has the potential to strengthen how your company operates.

In an open market companies are usually forced to compete with one another, in order to stay afloat and increase profits. Competition is important because it drives organizations to push towards making better products, offering better support for customers, and attracting customers. The need for improvement is beneficial for everyone, because companies develop practices that make them better and customers are given the freedom to choose to do business with the companies that deserve their money.

Operations centers have high upfront costs but do not let the steep barrier to entry scare you away. A command center can improve the flow of information coming from outside of or within the organization, and it can also speed up how quickly you and your teams are able to produce.

Multiple Operations at Once

One way a command center can help your company grow is by allowing you to closely monitor multiple operations at once. For instance, if your company has a lot of moving parts that can be tough to keep track of, then network operations center consoles can make it easier to take in important statistics and project details. A video wall can give you real-time updates on how each project is coming along.

Organizational Restructuring

A system from a company can force a company to restructure and find a method that works efficiently. Theses systems are designed to help information and relevant data flow more easily. When determining how to integrate the system you may realize some areas can be fixed and some departments can be enhanced.
