Hi everyone,
When it comes to design you need to agree on a company theme. Use
Grapics, colors and materials to communicate that theme. Look at your
company strategy and you will find the answer. Any good design educated
architect should be able to help you. But make sure they understand the
strategy. Write up the technical requirements and give it to your
designer and assign company staff to monitor and install the technical
stuff.
The designer you use does not need to understand the cisco or Linux
stuff. But the designer needs to understand what you are trying to
achieve. Hire someone who is willing to take the time to understand the
marketing position for your company.
Knowing the marketing position and the strategy will cause a design
theme to grow from there.
Good luck to you.
