Desktop Computer Decommissioning & Recommissioning

We are experts in computer decommissioning & decommissioning in conjunction with offices moves. Whether you are planning an internal departmental computer relocation involving a few computers, or relocating computers to a new building we can help you to successfully execute your office computer move project. We can manage whole office move project from planning to post relocation support, or provide expertise for specific parts of your office computer move project including:

• Computer Commissioning / Decommissioning Engineers
• Computer Relocation Project Managers
• Computer Helpdesk Support Engineers

Office moves can be stressful, so our computer relocation service includes detailed reporting and documentation so you can rest assured that you will always be kept in the picture. We can provide professional experienced computer relocation engineers to work 24 hours a day. Thus extensive office moves can be completed over a weekend to minimise disruption.

Server Room Relocation

The Server (Operations) room is the nerve centre of IT operations in most organisations. Relocation of this key resource is a mission critical task in any relocation project. We can provide an experienced team of PC relocation engineers and consultants to plan and execute the move. We work with you to accomplish all the key steps in the relocation process including:

• Planning the Move
• Decommission Servers and Cabinets
• Moving the equipment
• Recommission all equipment
• Testing and verification

We begin move planning by working through a relocation checklist detailing key preparatory tasks, including backups, the need for standby equipment, and the preparation of the destination environment. We can also help with network reconfiguration, patching and switching configuration.

Helpdesk Support Services

In the first few working days after a major relocation or office move the internal helpdesk can be swamped with calls. We can provide engineers to provide first line helpdesk support, freeing internal staff to deal with critical organisational issues that often cannot be outsourced. For office moves that extend into the working week we can provide relocation engineers to assist with re commissioning and deployment issues.

IT Relocation Project Consultancy

The IT relocation project can be a complex part of any office or building move. Balancing the demands of efficiency, operational productivity, cost and schedule can be complicated. When you employ our relocation consultants, you tap into a vast wealth of IT relocation experience acquired over many office and building moves. Among relocation professionals the phrase 'The demon is in the detail' rings true where office moves are concerned. Our relocation plans delve into areas that are often lost in the complexity of office moves. Key areas addressed in the relocation plan include:

• Identifying the key stages of the relocation project
• Estimating the resources for each stage
• Surveying the start and end location to identify special requirements
• Providing preparatory checklists for IT and production staff
• Dry-run proof of concept exercises performed where necessary
• Identifying and mitigating project risk
• Preparing a relocation schedule
• Estimating costs

Our relocation planning methodology includes a detailed survey of both the current and destination environments.

IT Relocation Project Management

Our project management service allows you delegate the operational responsibility for relocating your IT infrastructure during an office move, while retaining overall control through a single point of contact. Our project management consultants can handle every aspect of your relocation project, monitoring resources, schedules and quality, freeing internal resources for other critical tasks. Our project management consultants can plan the project for you or execute a plan you have already prepared. Our project management service can free you from the need to deal with the details of:

• Supervising Relocation Engineers
• Detailed move progress monitoring
• Executing move contingency plans
• Coordinating with furniture movers, builders etc.
• Testing and documentation

We are happy to work with other project managers whom you may wish to employ to manage other aspects of the project. This is often the case on very larger projects. In all cases or project managers will provide a highly professional service.

Computer Inventory Management

The IT asset inventory is an essential tool for financial and strategic planning in every organisation. Acquiring asset inventory information can be a labour intensive task, particularly if there is no automated asset inventory management solution in place. In addition automated asset inventory tools are not totally foolproof and periodic manual asset auditing is necessary to check for discrepancies. Our asset inventory management services can free your internal staff from the need to gather this asset information. We can also audit furniture and other assets that are more difficult to track using automated methods. We can present the acquired data in a variety of formats, or in a customised database.
