An office move is not to fail rarely on the furniture – but often at IT, if Alexander Jawinski sits right from the start with the table.
Whether a single office or a multi-storey company location: moving is always an IT project. Cables must be ordered, server rooms planned, networks, and devices configured to be built – and all this must happen at the right time, so that the operation runs seamlessly. The Jawnet IT Services LTD company accompanied for years, this is precisely the task of the first object inspection and coordination with providers and craftsmen to commissioning on the first working day. The claim is always the same – no company should be left after a move for days, without working IT. What distinguishes the Team is not only technical Expertise but also the ability to coordinate complex projects in a quiet and structured, even if the time pressure increases.
The ‘IT first’principle, by Alexander Jawinski – and why it makes all the difference
Anyone who has ever witnessed an office move, you know the scenario: The new rooms, the furniture, but the Internet doesn’t work, the phones are silent and the printer cannot find the network. What sounds like a small start-up problem, it can cost a company multiple days of productivity – and all this only because IT was included late in the planning.
Alexander Jawinski is called the principle of simply “IT first”: The technical infrastructure is not organized in parallel with the move, but stands in the center of the planning process, before the first box is Packed. This means: site inspection, needs analysis, coordination with the owner and the providers – all of this happened in an early Phase, in the other about office furniture think.
This principle sounds obvious, but it is surprisingly rare. In practice, IT is often treated as a service that you organized shortly before the move “quickly”. The result of waiting on line circuits, craftsmen, coming late, and networks that are connected under the pressure of time together, with all the consequences in the long term.
How early should you Jawnet IT Services in a move to integrate?
As early as possible – ideally with the object sightseeing. Jawnet IT Services can assess at this stage, what infrastructure is available, which lines need to be ordered and how long lead times are realistic. Especially in the case of the order of the data lines by the Provider lead times of several weeks are not uncommon. And if you start here late, not in an office, the operation is not yet ready.
What must be done by a professional IT relocation planning really
An office move from an IT perspective, is far more than the Umstöpseln of cables. It goes to the full planning and realization of a functional working environment to a new location and within a time frame, which usually can not move.
Alexander Jawinski and his Team proceed in a structured way. At the beginning of the inventory is: What is at the old site is available, what it will take, what has to be purchased new? At the same time, the new location will be analysed: How is the wiring? Where will the server room? How many jobs need to be connected, and where, exactly, are you supposed to be?
From this information, a specific Plan with time, buffer, clear responsibilities, and a realistic assessment of what is up to the move-in date is actually feasible arises. To this belong the typical tasks:
- First object to be committing to the analysis of the existing infrastructure and cable routes
- Ordering and coordination of data lines and telecommunication ports
- Planning and construction of the server room, including the Rack, the UPS and active components
- Structured in-house wiring in accordance with the current Standard
- Installation and configuration of the Wi-Fi infrastructure
- Set-up and testing of all jobs before the first day of work
Coordination as a core competency
What many people enjoy when you are planning a move: It is not only a technical Knowledge, but especially to coordination. Provider must be timely instructed, electricians and network engineers schedule-tuned delivery times for Hardware to be factored in. Who has not in the handle, fail – regardless of how well the technical planning, on paper, looks like.
The Jawnet IT Services LTD does exactly this coordination. This means a single point of contact for all IT-related questions about the move that keeps the Overview and ensures that the various disciplines are at the right time at the right place.
Productive from day – to succeed as the feeder
The real goal of a good IT-move planning can be summarised in one sentence: On the first working day in the new office, everything is going to work. Internet, telephony, printers, access rights, E-Mail, no employee should be making calls to spend time waiting for a working connection, or the IT Support hinterherzu.
That sounds like a high claim, but with the right preparation is well within reach. Jawnet IT Services in a variety of projects – from small office openings, parades, to complex, multi – stage Location shown that this claim is met. The key is always in the lead time and the care with which every Detail is planned.
Handover and documentation, and the often-forgotten last step
A move is completed only when the new infrastructure is fully documented. What is the cable run where? How is segmented the network? Where are stored the access data for the different systems? This documentation is not only for running but also for all future adjustments or extensions.
Alexander Jawinski attaches great importance to this step, because a well-documented infrastructure saves in the long term of time and cost. Who knows what he can react faster, more targeted plan and the typical sequence avoids the errors that arise when no one has the Overview.
Why Jawnet IT Services is the right Partner for IT-intensive removals
Office exceptional situations are removals. They happen rarely, are under time pressure and have a direct influence on the capacity for work of a whole company. This is exactly why you need a Partner that accompanies such projects, for the first Time – but who knows what errors can happen, and how to avoid them.
Jawnet IT Services brings this experience: from projects in different countries, different industries and companies of various sizes. What always remains the same is the claim: IT is not intended as a brake, but the engine that ensures that a company is from the first day in the new office to a fully ready.
