Principles of Integration
EFFICIENCY - CAPEX SAVINGS
CABLING - 25-40% of labor cost, 12-20% of the overall cost of
the cable installation.

CABLE PATHWAYS - Potential cost savings ranging from

15% to as high as 60%.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT - Approximately 30% of the

project management for the systems is eliminated by
consolidating the systems and cable installation.

EQUIPMENT Integration of the systems results in less

hardware, less space and reductions in software licenses.

TRAINING - Standard browser and GUI interfaces. Less

training of personnel on system management tools and
p
platforms

SCHEDULE COMPRESSION AND TIME TO

COMMISSION - Integrated systems take less time to install,
less time to configure.

POWER Potential power and cooling reduction

SERVICE CONTRACTS - 15% savings with open systems versus
