Office relocation
Connectivity, network, phones, hardware and the cutover, sequenced so the firm is working on the Monday morning.
Projects, without the long weekend.
Moving premises, opening a second office or replacing ageing kit. Planned properly, these are ordinary projects. Planned badly, they are the reason a firm loses a week.
Quarterly rolling contractWalk away after three months
The risk is the dependencies.
The server is rarely the problem. The problem is the broadband order nobody placed twelve weeks ago, the phone system tied to the old address, and the practice software vendor who needs notice.
We plan backwards from the day you need to be working, identify what has a lead time, and own the suppliers rather than handing you a list of people to chase.
What this involves.
Hardware procurement
Specified for how your people actually work, bought at sensible prices, delivered configured rather than in boxes.
Connectivity
Lines ordered early enough to arrive on time, with a fallback for the period when they do not.
Server and infrastructure work
Replacements, virtualisation and consolidation, scheduled around your calendar rather than ours.
Questions we get asked.
How much notice do you need for a move?
As early as you can. Connectivity is usually the longest lead time and the one that decides your date, so it is worth a conversation before the lease is signed.
Can you work with our existing suppliers?
Yes, and we would expect to. Coordinating the suppliers you already have is a large part of what the project is.
Do we need to be a support client?
No, though most project clients are. If you are not, we will be clear about what we are taking on and what stays with you.
