English term or phrase: as compared with the initial solutions
I am wondering if the place of the phrase *as compared with the initial solutions* is correct in the sentence below? Or maybe it is better to put it right after "new technical solutions"?

The second question is about "possible actions" - is it ok as is or maybe a better variant exists?

Any other minor corrections are also welcome :)

Thank you in advance :)
