Experience

Our specialised teams have a wealth of experience in a broad range of holistic portfolios in areas ranging from Facilities Management through to Project Delivery. We understand the objectives and challenges that your businesses may face.

Critical environments

A critical environment is normally a term reserved for such things as data centres and clean rooms. However, any environment, physical or virtual, that when unavailable will stop your business from operating can be considered a critical environment.

Whether manufacturing textiles, managing a lab environment or operating a Data Centre, the critical environment is the beating heart of your business. If issues occur in this environment then your business suffers as a consequence. A business will always be limited by its ability to manage and maintain its critical environments.

Alver Services have worked extensively with one of the world’s frontmost pioneers in data centres development, having provided the management software for the critical environment for more than 1100 locations worldwide.

We have been providing solutions to manage, analyse and improve critical environments for over 10 years. Alver Services’ bespoke software design, data warehousing/consolidation and integration services have proven to provide tangible benefits to a portfolio of over 5.9 million m2 across multiple high-profile clients.

Facilities management

In the same way your business does not run itself, your company’s premises are not run and maintained of their own accord. Facilities Management is the process of integrating people with the building environment. A well-executed FM process can ensure a safe, productive and attractive working environment for existing and prospective members of staff.

Alver Services has worked with both dedicated FM suppliers and their clients to design, develop and support FM specific software for over 15 years. Alver Services bespoke solutions provide benefits to the FM supplier by offering management solutions for all aspects of hard/soft FM and to their clients by offering reporting and performance analytics.

Project delivery

Many businesses operate in a perpetual state of flux. Their challenges can be broken into uniquely identifiable chunks of work – labelled, “projects”.

A project is a series of tasks with a definitive start, finish and budget with the aim to produce a tangible benefit.

Inefficient project management can impact project delivery in multiple ways; increased costs, missed deadlines and a reduced quality of the final outcome.

We manage and deliver projects every day. Our practitioners are both PRINCE2 and AGILE qualified and we pride ourselves on our ability to organise, plan, communicate and deliver projects in line with business objectives.

Our in-house change control management process and quality assurance has been pivotal to the continuous project manage success we have achieved over the past 15 years.
