what is an assessment?

An ict active assessment involves a visit to your building by a qualified assessor who will discuss your building and target markets with you before undertaking a physical check around various parts of the building. The whole process takes a maximum of two days and you will receive a detailed report at the end.

The ict active assessment process is designed with workspace owners/managers in mind and consists of the following steps :

  1. An informal chat with an assessor to ascertain the basic information regarding your property such as the target market your building is aimed at and what you feel your workspace can offer tenants.
  2. If you then want to continue with gaining accreditation your building will undergo a full assessment.
  3. You will receive your accreditation which includes a plaque to display in your property and a certificate as well as a copy of the assessment report.

There are two categories of accreditation you could receive and at your informal chat you can discuss with the assessor which level you would like to aim for. The categories are:

ict active - this recognises that the building has good ICT capabilities which would provide excellent facilities for most businesses.

Leading Edge - this is a level reserved for buildings which have the very best in ICT infrastructure or are designed to match the needs of businesses with demanding requirements.

We understand that workspaces are built with different uses in mind and that property managers will therefore offer an appropriate level of ICT infrastructure for their client. Our audits recognise that whilst some buildings are aimed at easy-in, easy-out tenants, others are designed for long-term tenants so will be promoted with different options; such as the capacity for businesses to set up their own ICT facilities. Bearing this in mind the technical survey assesses the ICT capabilities of a building in four key areas:

- The building itself
- The fixed ICT infrastructure
- Core services
- Value added services.

ict active assessments can be sought for either a single office within a facility or for a whole building. Due to the evolving nature of ICT each accredited site will need to be re-assessed every year to maintain its accreditation.

Due to governmental backing we are able to offer free ict active audits up until March 31st. To register for an assessment please email assess@ictactive.net.
