KCS maintains a high level of project implementation standards. Such standards and protocols adhere
to the international standards published by PRINCE2 and PMI.
KCS project management definition is “Project Management is the discipline of organizing and
managing resources (e.g. people) in such a way that the project is completed within defined scope,
quality, time and cost constraints”.
Scope, quality, time and cost are the main parameters of KCS management of any project. Maintaining
a small variance between Planned and Actual values is the next ambitious value during project
management.
In general, KCS internal project management system differentiates stages and phases of projects as:
1. Phase 1: Initiation2. Phase 2: Planning3. Phase 3: Execution4. Phase 4: Controlling5. Phase 4: Closing
In each of the phases defined tasks are set to meet per phase goals and objectives. A strategic overlay
of integrated phase approach allows cost effective implementation and project life cycle. The integrated
system also serves the quality control and time of implementation by dynamically allocated proper
resources when needed.
During the initiation phase, KCS management issues the project charter as a key deliverable of the
phase. In the project charter we find the assignment of the project manager, final Scope of Work, sealing
cost, time and quality constrains. Moreover, a partial authority’s matrix is presented with internal
workflow QA system reference.
In the Planning phase, the project manager prepares his resources to work as an integrated unit to meet
planned objectives. The resources are categorized as:
1. Financial2. Human3. Materials4. Tools5. Space

investment. A flexible education structure is needed to meet the demands of your workforce and your
business.

The security industry is on the top of the list of industries that
incorporated technology to change the way its services are created,
implemented, operated and managed. Technology applications
became an integral part of any modern security solution.
Whether, the client needs are surveillance, access control or merely
tracking of assets, multiple technologies constitute the final
solution. The common denominators of any technology based security solutions are acquiring,
transmitting, collecting, analyzing and storing.
At KCS, our security core competencies revolve around the common denominators. The in-house
expertise can accommodate high end secure technologies to use in any of the denominators phases. It
is important to allow our client to have freedom of design and create an independent solution of
trademarks that is functionality centric. Therefore, KCS has chosen to use LENEL as the core of its
systems and designs for its high level of integration to multiple technologies and machine language.
Having said that, KCS classifies its security solutions based on the level of modularity and complexity. In
general, there are three distinct classes of offering that are:
1. Enterprise Security Management Solutions (ESMS)2. Total Security Management Solutions (TSMS)3. Custom Security Management Solutions (CSMS)
Enterprise Security Management Solutions (ESMS©)This solution offering is considered the most modular solution. It is also empowered by its centralization
ability that presents seamless integration with the enterprise existing infrastructure and core services.
The fact that the solution is centralized offers today’s IT departments the ease of controlling remote
location, configuring new sites, centralized alarm management, redundancy, fault tolerance and
command center capabilities.
Most of our clients evolve into the ESMS as part of their strategic security plan side by side with their
business development plans. We join our clients at the stage of drawing board to assist them to choose
competent solutions that fits their current and future needs.

Custom Security Management Solutions (CSMS©)The CSMS solutions are very specific solutions to a specific need. These solutions can be part of a larger
existing client security infrastructure or part of a building management system. In essence, custom
solutions are made with any degree of modularity based on existing systems and required
functionalities. In addition, at this level of solutions the environment of implementation will play a great
role in dictating the solutions parameters.
Clients tend to choose these solutions when they have immediate or very specific needs. This then will
be handled by our customization team in parallel with our technology partners.
Kuwait Computer Services offers a range of business-specific solutions to address your toughest
enterprise challenges.
Enterprise ApplicationsWhen it comes to business challenges, one size clearly doesn't fit all. Specific problems demand specific
solutions. And the solutions that give you the most value come packaged with the right functionality, so
they require less customization, shorter implementation times, and fewer IT resources to maintain. Those
same solutions must be delivered by a company with the business expertise, commitment, scale, and
financial stability to address any and all of your requirements-from small to large, from local to global-as
you grow and change.
KCS has invested in trained consultants and expertise in packaged solutions such as Business
Intelligence, Enterprise Planning, Financial Management System, Performance Management, Human
Capital Management, Enterprise Asset Management, Time & Attendance solutions.
Enterprise Application Integration & SOAIntegrated Enterprise systems have become an
imperative in today's global and dynamic business
environment. Many enterprises are still struggling with
implementation, customization, integration, upgrade
and maintenance issues, thus requiring a cost effective
implementation approach.

Clients tend to choose these solutions when they have immediate or very specific needs. This then will
be handled by our customization team in parallel with our technology partners.
Kuwait Computer Services offers a range of business-specific solutions to address your toughest
enterprise challenges.
Enterprise ApplicationsWhen it comes to business challenges, one size clearly doesn't fit all. Specific problems demand specific
solutions. And the solutions that give you the most value come packaged with the right functionality, so
they require less customization, shorter implementation times, and fewer IT resources to maintain. Those
same solutions must be delivered by a company with the business expertise, commitment, scale, and
financial stability to address any and all of your requirements-from small to large, from local to global-as
you grow and change.
KCS has invested in trained consultants and expertise in packaged solutions such as Business
Intelligence, Enterprise Planning, Financial Management System, Performance Management, Human
Capital Management, Enterprise Asset Management, Time & Attendance solutions.
Enterprise Application Integration & SOAIntegrated Enterprise systems have become an
imperative in today's global and dynamic business
environment. Many enterprises are still struggling with
implementation, customization, integration, upgrade
and maintenance issues, thus requiring a cost effective
implementation approach.

& Blums, Viaserv, ActiveIdentity. Oracle and Microsoft.
The security industry is on the top of the list of industries that
incorporated technology to change the way its services are created,
implemented, operated and managed. Technology applications
became an integral part of any modern security solution.
Whether, the client needs are surveillance, access control or merely
tracking of assets, multiple technologies constitute the final
solution. The common denominators of any technology based security solutions are acquiring,
transmitting, collecting, analyzing and storing.
At KCS, our security core competencies revolve around the common denominators. The in-house
expertise can accommodate high end secure technologies to use in any of the denominators phases. It
is important to allow our client to have freedom of design and create an independent solution of
trademarks that is functionality centric. Therefore, KCS has chosen to use LENEL as the core of its
systems and designs for its high level of integration to multiple technologies and machine language.
Having said that, KCS classifies its security solutions based on the level of modularity and complexity. In
general, there are three distinct classes of offering that are:
1. Enterprise Security Management Solutions (ESMS)2. Total Security Management Solutions (TSMS)3. Custom Security Management Solutions (CSMS)
Enterprise Security Management Solutions (ESMS©)This solution offering is considered the most modular solution. It is also empowered by its centralization
ability that presents seamless integration with the enterprise existing infrastructure and core services.
The fact that the solution is centralized offers today’s IT departments the ease of controlling remote
location, configuring new sites, centralized alarm management, redundancy, fault tolerance and
command center capabilities.
Most of our clients evolve into the ESMS as part of their strategic security plan side by side with their
business development plans. We join our clients at the stage of drawing board to assist them to choose
competent solutions that fits their current and future needs.

KCS maintains a high level of project implementation standards. Such standards and protocols adhere
to the international standards published by PRINCE2 and PMI.
KCS project management definition is “Project Management is the discipline of organizing and
managing resources (e.g. people) in such a way that the project is completed within defined scope,
quality, time and cost constraints”.
Scope, quality, time and cost are the main parameters of KCS management of any project. Maintaining
a small variance between Planned and Actual values is the next ambitious value during project
management.
In general, KCS internal project management system differentiates stages and phases of projects as:
1. Phase 1: Initiation2. Phase 2: Planning3. Phase 3: Execution4. Phase 4: Controlling5. Phase 4: Closing
In each of the phases defined tasks are set to meet per phase goals and objectives. A strategic overlay
of integrated phase approach allows cost effective implementation and project life cycle. The integrated
system also serves the quality control and time of implementation by dynamically allocated proper
resources when needed.
During the initiation phase, KCS management issues the project charter as a key deliverable of the
phase. In the project charter we find the assignment of the project manager, final Scope of Work, sealing
cost, time and quality constrains. Moreover, a partial authority’s matrix is presented with internal
workflow QA system reference.
In the Planning phase, the project manager prepares his resources to work as an integrated unit to meet
planned objectives. The resources are categorized as:
1. Financial2. Human3. Materials4. Tools5. Space

Technology Project Management Managing Directors Letter
During the planning phase we also manage to produce a more detailed project plan. The level of details
produced works as the reference and guide for all project departments. This implementation guide will
become the final reference for any information required during the project life cycle.
Post planning phase is execution. In this phase, the project manager authorized partial or total task
groups based on the detailed plan. Mobilization and deployment of resources as per their respective
planned values are initiated.
The increasing number of resources needed for a project should be controlled for optimization. This
places a project in a parallel phase of controlling. In this phase the project manager assigned control
department/unit initiates its quality, cost, time and resources controls. The activation of these protocols
will enhance the project deliverables at closing time. Then such information post closing can be used as
a reference for a real-time event viewer of the project life cycle.
As for the closing phase, the project manager applies the final check list and confirms on the
deliverables matching the intended goals and objectives prior to client handover. A loop cycle of
corrections could be initiated if a variance is higher than tolerance rate.
While managing a project many knowledge areas are applied such as the accredited:
1. Integration Management 2. Scope Management 3. Time Management 4. Cost Management 5. Quality Management 6. Human Resource Management 7. Communications Management 8. Risk Management 9. Procurement Management
By applying the techniques of project management, KCS adds to its corporate structure a very rich
method statement of approaching client’s needs. This is summarized by the output of the project
standards applied during implementation, which in return provides clients with utmost real-time data to
predict project deliverables.
