Site Survey
The site survey includes a physical survey of the resources to be protected, as well as existing electronic security measures and supporting infrastructure (communications & power) already in place. Information about the site conditions, environmental factors, threat assessment, applicable regulations and operational procedures are gathered and then incorporated into the system design.

System Design
The design phase begins with a conceptual design that documents the overall framework and operational concepts for the integrated security system. The conceptual design is submitted to the client for review and evaluation/modification based on local site and operational conditions. Once finalized, supporting schedules are developed that itemize materials, labor and site support requirements which are used to generate a firm fixed price quotation.

Pre-installation Logistics Support
Components are integrated and assembled prior to shipment, including a pre-delivery factory acceptance test, if desired. For OCONUS projects, Advantor coordinates all export packaging and documentation needed for international delivery. Prior to commencement of the installation, an Advantor project manager will visit the site to review the Statement of Work, including a detailed review of the construction schedule. All installation issues will be resolved during the preconstruction meeting.

System Installation & Training
System installation will be under direct supervision of an Advantor project manager assigned on-site. The project manager will be empowered to make any necessary decisions in support of the project completion. Weekly projected reviews will be conducted with the COTR, and progress will be tracked using Microsoft Project scheduling software. Training will be conducted on site for system operations, Administrators, Badging, and if desired, technical support personnel. Upon completion of training, certification testing will be conducted.

Project Documentation
Documentation includes pre-installation and post-installation document packages that are described in the project Statement of Work. Typically, these include a system design concept, itemized BOM, installation plans, wiring diagrams, product specifications, operations manuals and maintenance manuals upon project completion. These packages can be customized to meet individual project requirements.

System Sustainability & Support
24-hour global telephone and website support is maintained through our Answer Center in Orlando, Florida. Specific sustainability and support plans are individually developed for each project, and can incorporate depot level parts support, on-site preventive maintenance, recertification testing, on-site service, or even full-time local system administration.
