Exceeding Expectations

What are your expectations? Your network should run the applications of today and be adaptable enough to run those of tomorrow. To do so, the system must be reliable, manageable, flexible, and able to grow. At Automated Digital Technologies we're able to rise to these challenges through careful consideration of the many factors that separate average systems from outstanding ones.

You can see some examples of work we've done in our Cabling Image Gallery .

Component Selection

Component selection constitutes one piece of the puzzle. The quality and performance of individual components is important. You must consider component advantages versus end-to-end system performance. Remember that individual component advantages don't necessarily translate into better end-to-end system performance. Component selection must be determined at the outset, because the installed system should not be a test bed for component integration.

Standards Compliance

Why is standards compliance important? Compliance represents the accepted minimums on which your system is based. Keeping in mind that standards lag behind technology, you should aim for a system that offers the capability of accommodating emerging and future applications.

Warranties & Guarantees

The most important point to keep in mind regarding warranties and guarantees is the difficulty of managing varying warranty terms in multi-vendor-component systems. By opting for an end-to-end system and the all-encompassing guarantee that comes with it, you eliminate multi-vendor finger-pointing. This is why Automated Digital Technologies prefers Panduit, a manufacturer that offers an end-to-end solution that will meet your needs and adhere to your budget.

Value

One of the most intricate pieces of the system puzzle is value, which consists of a number of important elements. The value of a system can be expressed as the result of adding functionality, performance, and quality together and dividing by the total cost of owning the system. To compute the total cost of ownership (TCO), you must include the cost of acquisition, ongoing maintenance, system capacity, and operational lifespan. All of these costs together add up to the factor that determines the value of your system.
