Network & Communications
– Corporate
Today’s business trends, such as mobility and outsourcing, mean companies must depend on moving information around very large networks quickly, securely, and dependably. Inadequate networks that cannot handle the vast amounts of communications and data needed directly impact a business’ performance and productivity.
Besides networks enabling more collaboration of voice, video, and data, building systems - such as HVAC, security power management, and others - are becoming network enabled. Businesses now must ensure they have adequate network structures to support their communication needs.
Planning ahead is imperative. EDI believes in designing the most effective solutions that leverage technology, as well as your mission, and takes a vendor-neutral, engineering-based approach to the design of your organization’s most critical communications systems.
Security
– Corporate
Corporate facilities face many security challenges, from workplace violence to theft. The corporation’s employees and assets are very valuable, and protecting them should be the corporation’s primary security objective.

Our experience creating general security programs and policies, as well as comprehensive security master plans, for major corporations around the world is a valuable asset we bring to the design at your facility.
We are vendor–neutral and recommend “best of breed” solutions that meet your security needs and your budget.
