Design & Consulting Services

IMS Technology Services offers comprehensive Design and Consulting services that seamlessly integrate with plans for new facility construction or refurbishment of existing spaces that require upgrades to meet the demands of today and tomorrow’s networked communication platforms.

Why IMS?

What IMS clients value most is our ability to listen closely to client needs, to consider a range of alternatives, to assess options and to then develop designs that truly reflect our clients’ unified communications, aesthetic, technical, and performance goals.

We understand the changing landscape of communication standards and the importance of planning for future evolution and capabilities – and that results in significant ROI for our clients. In order to anticipate needs and create solutions with flexibility, IMS partners with IT, AV, and all other internal stakeholders to complete an accurate needs assessment that is budget sensitive. Then we help our clients execute successfully against the plan – ensuring performance parameters are met and completion schedules are adhered to. We support EnergyStar goals and LEED certification requirements for clients who require adherence to the highest levels of sustainable design. From acoustic analysis to bandwidth provisioning as well as audio and visual reproduction that delivers with fidelity, we understand the design process, the aesthetic nuances, and the difference between good enough and sensational.

IMS consistently delivers outstanding AV Design and Consulting Services because we have made a substantial investment in our professional staff, their certifications, and also developed a rigorous process that allows IMS to produce sustainable designs and successful projects.
