Our Group
One group.
Three specialist brands.
Choose one specialist for a defined requirement, or engage the group when the project needs joined-up thinking.
Systems Integration
Making separately procured systems work as one, with the interfaces, responsibilities and testing defined in advance.
WHAT WE DO

Test plan
The challenge
Every system works. The joins do not.
Integration failures are rarely technical. A door controller, a video platform and a booking system each do what the specification asked, but nobody agreed who provides the interface between them, who tests it, or who is responsible when it stops working after a firmware update. The gap shows up at commissioning, when the programme has no room left.
Treating integration as its own workstream, with named owners for each interface and a test plan written before installation, turns a recurring source of disputes into a set of checkable items.
What Sysflex does
Interfaces as deliverables, not assumptions.
Define
Map every system that must exchange data or control, and establish what each interface has to achieve.
Coordinate
Assign ownership of each interface to a named package, and align the specifications and protocols on both sides.
Assure
Test each interface against the plan at commissioning and record the result before handover is accepted.
Outcomes
What the client gains
✓ A responsibility matrix that tells every supplier exactly where their scope ends.
✓ Interface problems found during testing rather than during the first week of occupation.
✓ An integration record the facilities team can use when systems are upgraded later.
Across the project
Where this fits in RIBA Stages 0–7
Engage by Stage 3, before packages are tendered and interface responsibility is set by omission.
01
RIBA 0 – 1
Define
Identify which outcomes depend on systems working together rather than individually.
02
RIBA 2 – 4
Design
Specify the interfaces, assign them to packages and write the test plan that will prove them.
03
RIBA 5
Deliver
Coordinate the suppliers through installation, run the interface tests and resolve what fails.
04
RIBA 6 – 7
Operate
Maintain the interface record as systems are patched, replaced or extended.
Specialist delivery
Delivered with our specialist brands
The group defines the requirement. Our specialist brands provide the detailed design, delivery and support.
Digital infrastructure and managed IT
Provides the network and identity layer that almost every interface crosses.
Audiovisual and workplace technology
Integrates room, signage and collaboration platforms with booking, calendar and directory systems.
Physical security systems
Connects access control, video and intercom with building and IT systems under agreed data rules.
