How do you manage a project from A to Z?

1. Analysis – How does your organization operate today? What processes and technologies are in place?
2. Advice & design – We present a custom solution and concept design.
3. Proof of Concept (POC) – We test whether everything works as designed.
4. Implementation & training – Systems are tested, and users are trained.
5. Operational go-live – The control room is put into operation.
6. Aftercare & support – We remain involved for continuous optimization.

How is a control room different from a regular workspace?

A control room differs in many ways from a standard workspace. In a control room, people often work 24/7 in day and night shifts lasting 8 to 12 hours. Additionally, a control room is a critical environment where focus is essential. It requires an ergonomic and functional setting.

We ensure:

• Comfortable workspaces
• Optimal acoustics and lighting
• Monitors that maximize focus
• High-quality peripherals
• Efficient and safe cable management
• Technology integration

Where do you focus when building a control room?

At BIS|Econocom, we combine technological innovation with a people-centric approach. We believe that a well-designed control room should not only be functional but also provide a pleasant work environment.

Our core values:

• Quality takes time: We take the time for thorough analysis and careful execution to ensure every detail is right.
• Ergonomics is key: A people-centered, comfortable workspace reduces stress and increases productivity.
• Sustainability and reliability: Our solutions are designed for long-term, intensive use, with a focus on energy efficiency and ease of maintenance.

How do you involve the client in this process?

We follow a collaborative approach where the client is at the center. This means we not only listen to your needs but also work iteratively together to find the best solution.

• Co-creation: We work closely with operators and stakeholders to develop an optimal design.
• Flexible approach: By regularly evaluating and adjusting, we can respond to changing needs.
• Continuous improvement: Our work doesn’t stop after delivery. We remain involved and support further optimizations.

How does a control room stay future-proof?

Technological developments are moving fast. That’s why we ensure that your control room not only meets today’s requirements but is also ready for the future.

• Innovation and modularity: We design systems that can be easily upgraded and expanded.
• Smart technologies: From AI-assisted monitoring to data analysis, we implement the latest trends.
• Sustainability: We choose energy-efficient solutions and reusable components to minimize environmental impact.
