Client Objectives
Our client wished to develop a world-class, state-of-the-art command centre that would support operations of the current and future security forces. The project had been given the green light by the appropriate agencies but the oversight committee was struggling with the enormity of the project.

The Boartes Approach
Boartes was asked to establish a project team to support the oversight committee in developing a plan, selecting contractors and managing the construction, fit-out and commissioning of the facility. Our initial design was based on functional requirements and formed the basis of a design brief; subsequently Boartes was involved at each step of the construction process to ensure the facility matched the end-user requirements.
In parallel, Boartes was commissioned to design, procure and implement the computer-based control systems and communications to support the functions of the command centre.

Results
The facility was designed, constructed and fully integrated in record time. The facility now forms the focal point of the national security infrastructure and is the envy of the region. Boartes continues to work with the relevant agencies to implement the change-management aspects of this groundbreaking project.
