Assessment + discovery

The foundations for a successful IT move

The process starts with a thorough evaluation of your current and new office locations, to identify infrastructure requirements and potential challenges. We audit your existing technology, including hardware, software, and networks, to determine what can be kept, and what needs upgrading or migrating. Employee and stakeholder feedback is important to us, to ensure that we align our plan with your specific business goals and enhance end-user experience. 

Plan, design & deploy

Strategic development + project management 

We create a detailed technology blueprint and timeline to ensure seamless infrastructure setup and integration for your new workspace. Our team efficiently allocates resources, focusing on operational planning to minimise risks like downtime and data loss. Establishing high-speed connectivity is crucial, and our phased migration plan reduces disruptions while allowing smooth testing. A dedicated Project Manager oversees the entire IT move process, providing full visibility and coordination. Flexibility in design ensures your space is optimised, maximising ROI and adding long-term value.

Your questions answered

How do we avoid interruption to our business?

Business continuity is a key element of any plan for an office move. Our team are experts at managing and sequencing the various requirements around new connections (including Wayleaves and landlord negotiations). Furthermore, a complete timeline will be designed by your dedicated Project Manager to ensure we deliver, install and configure everything in readiness for your requirements.

How much will this cost?

We will always do our best to work to any budgets our clients set but with any project, the costs can vary significantly depending on what is required. A brand-new building with cabling all in place will be a much easier transition than an empty shell that requires new data and electrical cabling.

What systems can be retained from our current location?

In reality, as many systems as you want can be retained. That said, technology moves very quickly and it may not prove cost-effective to remove some items and reinstall them later. This is particularly true of older technology that is often no longer supported.

What barriers will we face to get our systems functioning seamlessly?

It is our job to identify any barriers and challenges within your systems to ensure that we do not experience difficulties at a critical time. Our surveying team will undertake in-depth research of your current systems to ensure all will be ready for your move day.

Will our communication tools be ready on time?

We will always do our best to meet deadlines but early engagement is key. The most common issue we face with new properties is clients delaying ordering their internet connections. With Wayleaves, permits, permissions and networks all having different requirements, it is vital that the order is placed at the earliest opportunity to ensure your business remains connected.

What cabling and infrastructure will be needed at our new location and can we use what already exists?

The vast majority of property comes with cabling already in-situ. However, this does not necessarily mean that the cabling will be presented in the areas you need it. With any project, a detailed assessment will be undertaken and we will always try to retain as much of the existing cabling infrastructure as possible.
