What It Involves

“Thorough planning. Effortless execution.”

Connectium provides project management services for IT relocation, server relocation and data centre projects. Our experienced IT project managers help businesses plan technical moves, reduce downtime, manage risk and keep business-critical infrastructure projects on track.

There comes a time when every company has to move their technology infrastructure. Sometimes they are changing location, sometimes they are restructuring their existing office for expansion or reduction. Either way, once technology equipment needs to be moved, a qualified IT project manager should be assigned to the project.

There are many risks involved with moving equipment from one location to another but damage and downtime are among the among the most preventable risks that businesses who do not use a qualified IT project management team face. Knowledge and experience provide an instant layer of wisdom that is priceless in a situation where the risks are high and can be costly. The question here is… “Why chance it?”

Understanding The Need

Avoid, mitigate and control risks when relocating.

An experienced project manager understands the impact downtime can have on your business and can identify risks that may otherwise be missed. Technology moves rarely go exactly to plan, which is why appointing an experienced project manager is essential when relocating servers, IT equipment or wider infrastructure.

Their experience will provide insight into risks often left unconsidered, and will produce a plan with critical-path activities, highest potential risks and develop contingency plans. Most IT departments don’t have a professional project manager on their internal payroll, since they only need their expertise on a project-by-project basis. This is why most companies appoint an external project manager for their expertise in server and IT relocation projects and technology refreshment programmes.
