It is not what you think! FIX Consulting needs to be your technology "Architect" and "Program Manager"
FIX Consulting can be your program manager, commissioning agent and your facility Architect for the facility side of your IT enterprise or as some like to refer to it the "Fourth Utility". We manage the commissioning process of your new facility or facilities in regards to" Facility Nodes" and the commissioning and continuous commissioning of your new facility or facilities.
The process is as follows:
Step 1 - You decide to build a new building and go out and hire an Architect. At which time you employ us to help in the design of the Technology within your new facility with an eye on incorporating continuous commissioning and your existing IT infrastructure and technology.
Step 2 - We bring together your IT professionals and your construction professionals, including yours Architect and MEP designer, and incorporate them into the complete process of designing your new facility.
Step 3 - We work with your construction and design professionals to set a budget for the management and implementation of a complete integrated IT facility using "Open Protocols" for your "Facility Nodes" with a continuous eye towards cost and its impact on the project and the IT enterprise.
Step 4 - We breakout all costs and use a completely open book analysis of benefits and costs and then program manage within the budgets for a completely open, integrated and successfully implemented facility.

As the recession grinds on, some consultants are finding an emerging outlet by updating older buildings from power hogs into green stewards. The trend is attracting a fresh round of eco-savvy tenants.
Chicago is home to two large projects, examples of advancing efforts to green up existing buildings. In early December, 172 buildings nationwide were certified under the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED for Existing Buildings Rating System, a program created in 2004. More than 2,000 other buildings are seeking to obtain such certification, according to the Washington, D.C.-based group.
