BUDGET: Between 5 crore INR and 9.99 crore INR (More than USD672,000 but less than USD1.35 million)
Project Overview
We completed the Sanofi AV integration project in Hyderabad, a leading pharmaceutical facility, on 11/07/2024. This fast-track deployment, handled in partnership with consultant 3CDN, stands as one of our largest projects in FY 2024–25. The project included boardrooms, 10+10 divisible rooms, and a large town hall, all equipped with Logitech-based video conferencing infrastructure, including Rally Bars, Tap IPs, and room schedulers. Display solutions from LG and mounting systems from Chief were also used. Given long lead times for certain materials, we faced significant procurement delays. However, leveraging COLCOM’s presence across 14 countries, we sourced key equipment internationally to maintain the delivery timeline. Our ability to mobilise cross-border logistics ensured Sanofi’s AV systems were commissioned without compromise.
What did the client want to achieve?
The client sought to deploy world-class technology solutions that would provide seamless connectivity for users through advanced video conferencing devices. This implementation was designed to enhance real-time collaboration across teams, breaking down geographical barriers and improving communication efficiency. By integrating these cutting-edge tools, the client aimed to significantly boost overall productivity and enable a more connected and agile working environment.
Scope of work your company was involved in
Designed by a consultant following Sanofi’s standards, the project involved our team taking full responsibility for supplying and installing the complete AV infrastructure at Sanofi’s Hyderabad location.
What Key Challenges were faced?
The project was awarded with an aggressive timeline, requiring product delivery within just 4 weeks. The key challenge was to meet this accelerated schedule without compromising on quality or coordination across the team.
How were those challenges resolved?
Given COLCOM’s presence across 14 countries, we were able to leverage our global network to source AV equipment from multiple international locations. This was done in close coordination with the manufacturers to ensure full compliance with warranty requirements, safeguarding the client’s long-term support and service needs. Our strong relationships with these manufacturers also played a critical role in accelerating the procurement process, allowing us to fast-track the delivery of essential components. This efficient coordination enabled us to meet tight project deadlines while maintaining the highest standards of quality and execution.
How has your work helped the client
The client is pleased with the AV setup delivered by our team, which has played a key role in enabling a smooth transition to a hybrid work environment. Sanofi’s Townhall is now actively used for management events and serves as a vital platform for organisation-wide communication, ensuring effective engagement between in-office and remote participants.
What are you most proud of about the project?
We are proud to have delivered a ₹9.38 crore AV integration project for Sanofi Hyderabad within a tight 4-week timeline, without compromising on quality or client expectations. Despite global procurement delays, we leveraged COLCOM’s international network across 14 countries to ensure the timely delivery of critical equipment, maintaining full warranty compliance.
Our strong coordination with manufacturers and stakeholders helped us overcome major logistical challenges, completing one of FY 2024–25’s largest AV deployments on schedule. This project showcases our agility, resilience, and global execution strength.
