The Group therefore has a long and successful track record, going back to 1988, with well-established policies, procedures and systems. Mediatech Africa is the largest media and technology trade show for Southern Africa. A shopping mall’s control room is where everything is seen and done. More than 500 mall robberies have taken place across the country so far this year. Both new and upgrade projects require a thorough planning and needs analysis phase, which will ultimately determine the value add of the implemented solution. In order for the conceptualisation phase of a project to be effective, input is required from all the key stakeholders within the client’s organization. Oculus considers the conceptualisation of the control room as the most crucial and critical aspect in the design process. The detailed design phase of the process details all aspects of the design to enable the construction of the project. Detail design is performed using CAD tools, computer models and dedicated tools for the various aspects of design. This phase comprises the supply and installation of the control room equipment. Typically, the supply & installation of a control room upgrade is executed during the continuous operation of the plant, therefore extensive project management and co-ordination is vital for successful execution. The successful execution of projects relies on a professional project management approach. Oculus provides services covering project management, planning and scheduling of the project. Anyone can produce a lot of work in a short time, but to do it with professionalism and accuracy takes someone with that X factor, Xtra-ordinary. We feel privileged to work with such a professional Company with equally professional employees.
