Project:

Manage IT Infrastructure Relocation with Company Move

Client:

Decision Support Systems

Benefit:

The 80 staff members arrived at their new location Monday morning after the move and 95%+ had no issues with the new PCs, login credentials, or locating shared resources.

• I developed the relocation strategy for the operation working with the business owner on issues such as new equipment vs. redeploying existing resources, priorities for supporting the various business functions moving, and the budget for the project.

• As the lead engineer, I designed the network, shared resource assignments, and physical cable plant for the two floor new office complex. I then supervised the cabling subcontractor including certification of the resulting cable plant.

• On relocation weekend, supervised preparation of the old servers (backups, verifications, testing) prior to the move. For user system deployment I had a team of eight engineers to deploy new PCs for all users in the firm, move the redeployed file servers, implement the new servers and reconfiguration of all resources to reflect the new environment. No information was lost during the process.

• Monday after the move, we had few configuration or resource issues, the majority of problems were user training related to new login processes, etc.
