Investment Firm's HQ Relocation

The Challenge

Our client, a private investment firm that has deployed over $20.9 billion globally, needed to move to a new company headquarters on short notice. As you can imagine, they were concerned about finding a trusted partner to quickly set up the IT infrastructure in their new offices. This would involve communications cabling, low voltage installation, and IT inventory relocation - not to mention working with the general and electrical contractor - on a very tight schedule. All of these tasks would also require high project management and a senior-level foreman to complete the work efficiently and on time.

The Solution

The structured communications infrastructure cabling services we offered the client included a detailed description of all the components required to do the job. These included copper patch cords with proper termination, bi-directional cable testing, and patch panel labeling. We took great care to ensure that all connections were established according to industry standards, while working closely with the electrical contractor to make sure that everything was in order. Our proposal included low voltage equipment installation as well as the relocation of IT inventory, such as monitors and docking stations. Everything was completed on time and well within budget.

The Benefits

The professional IT services we provided to our client enabled them to complete the relocation of their office headquarters quickly. Meeting the client’s expectations allowed them to resume full business operations with minimal disruption. The cabling and equipment installations were completed efficiently, giving the client a reliable IT infrastructure comparable to their previous location. The inventory relocation also offered the chance to recycle some computing equipment that had outlived its usefulness.
