Reducing Risk

Systems Integration is a risk-filled enterprise. Uncertainty is an inherent part of our business and the project life-cycle can be turbulent. Unique applications, technological challenges, economic fluctuation, budget constraints, contractual obligations, rigorous design standards, strict regulatory requirements, aggressive deadlines, and challenging jobsites are hurdles of everyday business. Project risk management is absolutely essential and a fundamental process built into our project methodology. Meticulous upfront planning, identification, and evaluation limit exposure to our clients, end-users, and business partners. A clear understanding of project risk characteristics, client expectations, milestones, critical paths, and progressive planning tremendously reduces risk while increasing opportunity for success. We take pride in our commitment to protect our clients and our company's interests.

Corporate headquarters consists of a 22,000 square-foot facility housing administration, sales, engineering, manufacturing, and support operations. A satellite office maintained in Florida supports our southern markets. Our wholly owned subsidiary Thermal Designs and Manufacturing contributes an additional 27,000 square-foot fabrication facility providing a majority of our custom industrial enclosures.
