Our in-house specialists ensure that our clients’ IT infrastructure is seamlessly integrated within their project, providing solutions that are cost-effective, practical, secure and future-proof.
Our team has practical experience in system support, infrastructure design and relocation project management, overcoming the knowledge gaps that can otherwise occur between disparate specialists.
KEY IT PROBLEMS
Here are some of the problems our IT team can help to avoid:
- Insufficient power or cooling for current or future needs
- Insufficient future proofing or expansion space, making new systems expensive to introduce
- Problems associated with network service providers, leading to late line delivery
- Insufficient time allowed to run and test systems prior to occupation
- Lack of independence from suppliers, leading to over-specified and expensive systems
- Poor handover documentation and guidance
- Misunderstandings between the internal IT team and the fitting-out team
The IT infrastructure is a complex and critical component of any relocation or refurbishment project. When unforeseen problems do arise, our specialists’ experience will deliver practical and resourceful solutions.
WHAT USUALLY HAPPENS…
In our experience, an IT team considers a move or refurbishment a huge responsibility, and they often seek the help of external consultants.
Of course the consultants are happy to advise, and produce impressive reports, normally telling you what can’t be done or simply recycling the information you have already provided.
Ultimately, responsibility rests with the internal IT team – and while the fitting-out team will often deliver a fully serviced IT room early, the rest is up to them.
In practice, this rarely works well; the IT team and the fitting out team spend an unhappy period trying to work around each other, increasing risk and threatening timely completion.
THE INTERIORS GROUP WAY…
Our consultants understand the difficulties of relocating an IT infrastructure – and the very real problems that our clients’ IT teams have to deal with on a day to day basis – because they have done it themselves.
We start talking as soon as possible, providing useful, practical advice and ensuring that solutions are both necessary and appropriately scaled for our clients’ needs.
With our impressive network of partners, we can provide a range of technology services including networks, IT phone systems, security and integrated audio-visual facilities. All delivered under the watchful eye of our specialists, seamlessly integrated and controlled within the overall project.
