THE CHALLENGE
With more than 500 properties across four boroughs, Phipps’ internal IT department needed a field partner who could take on the physical layer at scale: security cameras, structured cabling, Wi-Fi and new property manager offices. They also needed someone who could get to a building quickly when a network went down or a cable or Wi-Fi problem was keeping staff from working.
WHAT SOLVED IT DID
Working alongside Phipps’ IT team
We partner directly with Phipps’ internal IT department. Their team sets the priorities and standards, and we handle the on-site installs, so their staff can stay focused on everything else.
Video surveillance across the portfolio
We’ve installed more than 100 security cameras across Phipps properties, giving building staff better visibility of entrances, hallways and common areas.
Structured cabling
We’ve run several hundred cables for offices, cameras and Wi-Fi, neatly dressed and terminated in each building’s network racks.
Property manager office build-outs
We’ve built out more than 10 property manager offices, with the cabling, network and Wi-Fi each office needs on day one.
Troubleshooting when something breaks
When a property has a network outage or a cabling or Wi-Fi connectivity problem, we troubleshoot on site and get it working again.
The Results
- One field partner for cameras, cabling and Wi-Fi across 200+ properties
- 100+ security cameras installed
- Several hundred cable runs installed
- 10+ property manager offices built out
- Hands-on help for network outages and cabling and Wi-Fi issues
- Phipps’ internal IT team stays focused while we handle the field work
