As part of Flomatik's continued growth we welcome Matt Harrison, our new Head of Service Delivery. As Flomatik's client numbers increase and the company undertakes ever-larger and more sophisticated projects, Matt's role is to ensure, simply, that we have the right people, in the right place, doing the right things. This means his work will touch many aspects of the company's operations, from sales support and scoping of projects, to helping identify appropriate resources, to overseeing large programmes, right through to obtaining performance feedback - and more besides.

A long-standing departmental Head and Senior Programme Manager, Matt brings a wealth of knowledge & experience with him, coupled with an excellent, personable working style and superior results.

It's an exciting development and investment for Flomatik and further evidence that we're forging the right path to an increasingly successful future.

Flomatik continues to lead the way in supporting Virgin Media's largest Access Network projects. As Virgin continues to ramp-up to deliver unprecedented broadband speeds, Flomatik will be providing wide-scale support to a number of national initiatives in 2011 and 2012. Projects such as the overbuild of Southampton (part), currently an analogue only network without broadband capability, the upgrade of legacy Telewest networks to enable faster broadband in Edinburgh, Bristol an d Croydon and Metro WiFi, providing roaming, mobile broadband across London for the 2012 Olympic Games; Flomatik are a truly strategic partner.

An exciting time for everyone, especially the consumer!

Flomatik are undertaking a managed service to deliver Optical Design Services to Virgin. These services will support a Local Loop Unbundling project, being carried out by Virgin Media for Cable and Wireless. The survey and design work that Flomatik will undertake will enable 1GbE "dark fibre" links to be created capable of carrying transmission systems nationally across VM's optical network. Alongside the Design Services, Flomatik is also providing Document Management support to the C&W LLU project, to ensure that excellent quality documentation is produced and delivered to the end customer.

Further to a successful project providing FttC Planning support earlier this year, BT Northern Ireland has engaged Flomatik to migrate data currently in paper records onto electronic inventory systems. By capturing the location of duct and fibre network, BT expects to be better able to serve customers who require new connections, and reduce the time taken to address faults that arise. This program of records migration and automation, is known as Network Engineering Journey (NEJ) and is a key dependency on the implementation of BT's Next Generation Access Network (Fibre to the Cabinet / Premise).

Flomatik will be supporting Motorola in an Access Engineering project aimed at replacing legacy equipment at Virgin, with Motorola's latest generation of RF Amplifiers. Flomatik are also supporting Motorola with a Professional Service offering designed to support the SI & deployment of their innovative VoD platform.

We hope this is the start of a long and prosperous relationship.

To support Virgin Media's programme to address legacy records, Flomatik have been engaged to conduct a number of regional audits of existing paper and electronic files, for subsequent migration into Virgin's latest inventory systems, both physical and geographical.

It is expected that this work will extend across Virgin's UK footprint and hoped that it will lead to a larger managed service for Virgin, to assess, capture and validate the existing record stock, thus lowing Virgin's ongoing operations and cost of ownership.

Flomatik have launched a new service using state-of-the-art GNSS (GPS) technologies to record physical plant locations for network operators and construction companies. GNSS is a highly effective and accurate method for creating As-built inventory and for validating contractor records and charges and is a growing requirement for operators operating under the HAUC guidelines - as well as those looking to provide improved plant protection and location to reduce ongoing operating costs. Survey outputs can be in flat-file, graphical or GIS formats and represent a considerable step forward on previous methods.

Flomatik's first client of this service will be Next Level, a leading construction company currently deploying fibre optic networks across the South of England.

As part of Virgin's initiative to deploy their next generation of Edge QAM's - in order to enable VOD encryption - Flomatik will be providing a managed Engineering, Operations & Testing service.

Flomatik's existing engineering & operations team of 9 personnel, operating within Virgin's DTV environment, will be growing to 14 personnel for the project, scheduled to last until Q2, 2011.

Virgin's continued engagement of Flomatik for DTV services is indicative of the quality of personnel, management support and value, that have been delivered to date.

BT Openreach have recently engaged Flomatik to deliver a managed service for a Time and Motion Study. This project will involve the examination and recording of the processes and activities involved in the build of the trial areas of Openreach's most advanced Next Generation Fibre-to-the-Premises (FttP) networks.

The study focuses on the three 3 trial areas: Highams Park, Leytonstone and York and will be conducted over a 3m period.

The information gleaned from the study will enable BT to 'industrialise' and fine-tune their processes for national rollout.

Flomatik has been working alongside BT in Northern Ireland to support the rollout of their ground-breaking Next Generation Access platform. The initial engagement has seen Flomatik provide Optical Planning Services and with Flomatik's help, BTNI have been able to successfully reach their first DETI coverage milestone of 20%. The relationship continues to grow, with everything on track for the timely completion of the 2nd coverage milestone, of 40%.

Flomatik hopes to build on this in 2010 and to provide similar services, on a larger scale, to BT Openreach.
