We partner with Facilities and
IT organizations to bridge the GAP & interpret communications between Facilities
& Architects, Space Planning and Relocation firms, Construction Teams & the IT organization
to ensure an uneventful business relocation experience for your employees.
It is not uncommon to find that terminology used in either trade is bewildering
to the other. We provide a common communications channel by working with each
organization to ensure that what they want is clearly communicated throughout the
construction phase. This can save significant time and cost and while providing
a much better finished product and can result in improved teamwork and trust between
the different departments. It's truly a WIN - WIN Scenario for everyone involved.

experience in working on a number of business relocation projects where network
and technology services where critical to the success of the move, give us unique

Infrastructure of the facilities. That's where we come in to assist with the
design and implementation management of the relocation of technology equipment and
services. Whether you use in house staff to relocate the equipment or one
of our vendor contacts to move the physical hardware, we can make sure that the
infrastructure is in place, and mange the relocation of the physical hardware to
its new home. From a small branch office to planning a new data center, were
there to help you from start to finish.
Planning for the relocation of
a corporate facility is an overwhelming task even for the experienced person. It
takes an enormous amount of planning, time and energy for any organization. If you’ve
been there, you recognize that one of the more daunting tasks for the business relocation
is the technology requirements for the new site, its design, planning and Project
Management is not for the faint of heart. The detailed task list, Project Plan,
equipment and materials, IT Infrastructure, Cable Plant, Voice and Data Circuits
alone provide for an unending list of details to schedule and co-ordinate for even
the most basic moves, all demand an experienced team to handle these effectively.
Our methodology is tailored for
close cooperation with architects and is integrated with building design and construction
work flows that are managed by our IT consulting team. Effective planning is crucial
among facility owners, Telecommunications and IT Departments, architects, electrical
engineers, construction managers, and designers. We understand the intricacies associated
with multiphase construction, renovation, and relocation and can address many of
the issues in a timely and cost-effective manner. This, along with our solid understanding
of state-of-the art telecommunications and information technologies, supplements
our client resources.

things don’t go according to plan, you need someone to immediately assist in resolving
issues and addressing impact on the rest of the schedule. That's why we provide
onsite dedicated resources focused specifically on your needs and timelines.

the technology move. Oversee the transition to a new system. Provide Implementation
management of outside data and telecommunications vendors and suppliers. We will
work with your team on planning, implementation and testing along with post move
support and documentation for your project. Budget planning and Project Management
are an integral part of achieving the completed project, but the IT infrastructure
design for the site needs to be designed to last for years.

a new site is planned, expanding your current facility, or opening a new branch
office or a new data center, the heart of all communications services are affected.

Our Pre-Planning process is the key to a
successful relocation
Pre-move planning ensures that
every element of your business relocation is addressed and that a tried and tested
move plan is in place, ready to roll come the move date. This is the most critical
phase, and the success of the move rests on the pre-move systems and innovative
solutions that are in place beforehand.
Experience has taught us how to
minimize risk and cost overruns. Here are a couple ideas:
-
Pre-Planning, results in a refined,
conceptual understanding of the move process. It includes the anticipated costs
(organized into different scenario options), any long-lead requirements and other
demands on resources.
-
Implementation Planning is where
specific objectives and detailed planning guidelines are developed. Regular planning
meetings are conducted and documented to assign specific tasks and responsibilities
to the appropriate parties and to ensure their completion.
-
Physical Relocation is the actual
physical relocation of Computer Room and Communications Equipment takes place.
Paradise Communications provides on-site management and coordination throughout
the move weekend to ensure the timely completion of all elements of the relocation
plan and schedule.
