The AST Technique

This Is How We Do It Right, First Time, Every Time

UPS

LOAD ANALYSIS

LOAD ANALYSIS

The power requirement of the whole ecosystem is determined at this point of the project.
GAP ANALYSIS

GAP ANALYSIS

The sufficiency of the existing UPS system and the reliability of the power grid is determined here.
FRAMEWORK

FRAMEWORK

The framework for a 100% reliable UPS and IT infrastructure is drawn up by our engineers.
UPS SELECTION

UPS SELECTION

The right combination of UPS devices and brands is determined based on client’s requirements.
SCHEDULING

SCHEDULING

The project schedule is drawn up to ensure total coverage and minimal disruption to the client.
PROPOSAL

PROPOSAL

The complete proposal is drafted and presented to the client for discussion and modification.
REFINEMENT

REFINEMENT

The proposal is further refined based on client feedback on specification and budget.
IMPLEMENT

IMPLEMENT

The entire UPS system is installed by our highly-trained and very experienced engineers.
TEST

TEST

The whole system is then stress-tested to simulate power emergencies to ensure everything works.
MAINTAIN

IT

IDENTIFICATION

IDENTIFICATION

Our consultants review and identify problems to be avoided in the design of the new system. This will provide measures of effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction which can be used as a baseline for the new system.
VERIFICATION

VERIFICATION

Our consultants will verify which solutions are efficient, timely and reliable for all functional output levels, so as to minimize unforeseen mistakes in system integration platforms and provide a seamless flow of constant running communications in our clients’ businesses.
REPORTING

REPORTING

Our team will produce a list of usability problems, categorized by importance and an overview of the types of problems encountered and the applicable measures. By doing so, the baseline for the new system is set up and will enable the functionality requirements to be refined to meet both business and users needs.
JUSTIFICATION

JUSTIFICATION

Costs that would be incurred for upcoming implementation and the subsequent potential savings and benefits during use and support will be discussed in depth with the client. This cost-benefit analysis aids in selection of the most cost effective methods to formulate the new implementation plan.
PLANNING

PLANNING

Upon completion of the feasibility analysis with the client, a comprehensive framework consisting of 3 main elements namely, System Models, System Development Process and Hardware / Software Architecture will be drawn up for the client to peruse and validate.
