Cabling

Implementing enterprise solutions requires a great deal of understanding of domain, work processes, inter- and intra-enterprise relationship management. For any enterprise-wide solution is likely to affect all of these areas at various points. At SPOC Managed Services, we attach most importance to understanding our client's unique needs before designing solutions. Right from organizational and process mapping, we work closely with our clients for assessing the needs. Once this is done, we work out the functionality requirements, required technology platform, legacy database strategies, and design the solution. Domain specialists along with technology associates develop the solution and implement it at the clients' location(s). The Telecommunication and IT competence in SME sector is relatively low as compared to large companies due to the lack of full-fledged IT departments. Often, there are standalone applications that are almost impossible to integrate into common telecommunications architecture. Faced with these challenges and the budgetary constraints, SMEs need telecommunication and IT consulting support to ensure best value for money. We at SPOC Managed Services have specially geared our services to assist SMEs in driving out inefficiencies.

Project Management

Almost any human activity that involves carrying out a non-repetitive task can be a project. So we are all project managers! We all practice project management (PM). SPOC Managed Services can offer project management in the information and communication arena. But there is a big difference between carrying out a very simple project involving one or two people and one involving a complex mix of people, organizations and tasks. The art of planning for the future has always been a human trait. In essence a project can be captured on paper with a few simple elements: a start date, an end date, the tasks that have to be carried out and when they should be finished, and some idea of the resources (people, machines etc) that will be needed during the course of the project. When the plan starts to involve different things happening at different times, some of which are dependent on each other, plus resources required at different times and in different quantities and perhaps working at different rates, the paper plan could start to cover a vast area and be unreadable. Project management is not only about planning but also about human attributes like leadership and motivation. Nevertheless, the idea that complex plans could be analyzed by a computer to allow someone to control a project is the basis of much of the development in technology that now allow projects of any size and complexity not only to be planned but also modeled to answer 'what if?' questions. The original programs and computers tended to produce answers long after an event had taken place. Now, there are many project planning and scheduling programs that can provide real time information, as well as linking to risk analysis, time recording, costing, estimating and other aspects of project control. But computer programs are not project management: they are tools for project managers to use. Project management is all that mix of components of control, leadership, teamwork, resource management etc that goes into a successful project. Project managers can be found in all industries. Their numbers have grown rapidly as industry and commerce has realized that much of what it does is project work. And as project-based organizations have started to emerge, project management is becoming established as both a professional career path and a way of controlling business. So opportunities in project management now exist not only in being a project manager, but also as part of the support team in a project or program office or as a team leader for part of a project. There are also qualifications that can be attained through the professional associations. Most people still want their projects to be on time, meet quality objectives, and not cost more than the budget. These form the classic time, quality, cost triangle. In fact if you have an unlimited budget and unlimited time, project management becomes rather easy. For most people, however, time and money are critical and that is what makes project management.
