Project Design

At MBR, we've developed a unique and powerful design-build philosophy based on our deep experience in executing large-scale projects. We've seen firsthand how our solution architects and engineers can positively influence the design process, delivering a cohesive solution from the very beginning.

Our approach is centered on our customers, using key design milestones for concept and feasibility. We conduct thorough design reviews with customer approval at each stage. By keeping key project disciplines represented throughout the process, we make sure every component functions as a single, unified solution.

 

The Value of Early System Integration

A design team's knowledge is crucial for a project's success. However, many clients don't bring a system integrator into a project until the detailed design is nearly complete and construction is about to begin. At this late stage, the integrator can't make a positive impact without significantly increasing costs.

By involving a system integrator early, you can drastically reduce project costs and risks compared to traditional methods. This is especially true when a product vendor has already been chosen.

 

What a System Integrator Provides

System integrators are responsible for creating a design that aligns with your budget and requirements. To do this, they don't just evaluate the current project; they also analyze your existing legacy systems and consider future enhancements. By taking an enterprise-wide view, an integrator adds more value to the overall design, delivering results that can boost your company's profitability, growth, and reputation.


Here are some of the primary tasks a system integrator performs throughout a typical project:

Requirements Analysis: This phase allows the team to accurately determine both your current and future project needs. Tasks include:

  • Current System Architecture: Examining your existing network, data pathways, and procedures.

  • Customer Requirements: Identifying deficiencies in your current system and detailing your specific needs.

  • Interface Coordination: Determining hardware and protocol interfaces for all system devices.

  • Risk Identification: Documenting project integration risks and creating mitigation plans.

  • Detailed Planning: Outlining software, hardware, interface descriptions, data layouts, sequence of operations, and user interface concepts.
