Core infrastructure and workflow design.

In order to manage transaction and expenditure and to improve workflow, core network architecture had to be brought to industry standard. New business practices, operational procedures and supporting technology systems were introduced. Comprehensive documentation and training then provided for the smooth transfer of ownership to new management.

In order to accommodate an international merger the early migration of video and audio services to a standardized IP model resulted in a communications infrastructure which continues to serve the company to this day. The flagship project during these four years was a boardroom design which pioneered the concept of video Telepresence technology two years before the same technology was packaged and marketed by Cisco and Tandberg.
