Executive summary

A technology programme built around Sothebys International Realty's operational priorities.

Sotheby's is a renowned auction house that deals with high-value art and luxury items. They approached us to install an IP security camera system that would monitor their premises 24/7 and provide them with enhanced security. They were concerned about the safety of their clients' valuable assets and wanted a reliable surveillance system to deter theft and vandalism.

MicroAntix approached Sothebys International Realty as an operating environment rather than a collection of isolated devices. The scope brought video surveillance, managed IT and network together with practical deployment controls, validation and a documented support path.

The challenge

Operational pressure points across Sothebys International Realty's technology environment.

The challenge for Sothebys International Realty was not a single device or isolated fault. It was the relationship between video surveillance, managed IT and the operating demands of staff productivity, customer service and practical business growth. The project brief needed to address reliability, serviceability and future change together, while keeping implementation practical for the site, users and operating schedule.

Visibility and oversight

Important entrances, work areas and assets required dependable visual coverage and manageable recording. The risk to Sothebys International Realty's operations was evaluated through camera viewpoints, recording coverage, retention and authorized viewing before the solution was specified. This made a measured, supportable response more important than an isolated component replacement.

Support accountability

Technology issues needed a clear response path, proactive maintenance and less disruption to day-to-day work. The risk to Sothebys International Realty's operations was evaluated through monitoring, escalation, maintenance ownership and responsive user support before the solution was specified. This made a measured, supportable response more important than an isolated component replacement.

Network reliability

Core connectivity needed to support users, applications and connected systems without becoming an operational bottleneck. At Sothebys International Realty, the assessment examined switching, routing, equipment organization and dependable access to core services to define the source and operational impact of the gap. This made a measured, supportable response more important than an isolated component replacement.
