As an important part of the implementation process HBC provide dedicated project management to ensure that all elements of the implementation and configuration work are accurately planned and executed.

The procedure starts with the initial project meeting to conclude the size and complexity of the installation, the duration and timescale of the implementation along with the estimated amount of downtime. These factors often determine if the work takes place during normal working hours or scheduled out of hours.

Other factors taken into consideration are the amount of manpower required to complete the job within the agreed time-frame and lead times on special order products. Where existing equipment is being integrated into the solution HBC recommend a full and extensive site survey to be undertaken to ensure that the new equipment is compliant with the existing network.

Once the installation is underway HBC engineers work closely with existing in-house IT staff to enable them to enhance their knowledge base and if desired will actively involve them in the installation.

Once the project is complete the customer is provided with a Network Administrator Handbook which includes a comprehensive explanation of how the network is structured. This document also contains a network topology diagram which includes any new equipment that has been added and other important details such as user name and password lists.
