During the interview process key goals will be defined and re-affirmed to establish a clarification process for technical deliverables.

• Recommend – After interviewing key personnel, reviewing client documentation and performing an assessment, SLD will make recommendations to the client. This includes a full spectrum of information. Personnel, equipment, and training needs will be addressed to ensure that a functional healthy environment will be implemented. This will ensure that an optimal working environment is achieved and maintained during and after project completion.


• Implement – Following the interviews, technical assessment, recommendations and client endorsement, SLD will implement a sound, logical solution that addresses key goals and deliverables with scalability and usability for its client.
