IT Projects

Planned work that doesn’t derail the day job.

Migrations, moves, and refreshes run to a defined plan with a named owner and a completion date, scoped before they start, not discovered halfway through.

The bad migration

A migration run badly costs more than the migration.

Discovered halfway through, it lands in the middle of a close, with no rollback and no owner. Planned, it lands in a window where it can’t cost you anything.

The work

Six kinds of project.

Every one scoped before it starts, with a named owner and a completion date.

01

Owned and dated

From a platform cutover to switching a server off for good.
// scoped

Platform Migrations

Email, file, and application moves planned against a cutover window, with rollback defined before the first user is touched.

// sequenced

Office Moves & Buildouts

Network, cabling, hardware, and access provisioning coordinated so the first morning in a new space is uneventful.

// planned

Hardware Refresh

Replacement cycles scheduled against age and warranty rather than failure, with data migration and disposal handled.

// staged

Cloud Migration

On-premise workloads moved in stages, with security posture and access model reviewed as part of the move, not after it.

// onboarded

New Entities & Sites

Standing up a new fund, entity, or location on the same standard as the rest of the environment, from day one.

// retired

Decommissioning

Systems retired deliberately: data preserved, licenses reclaimed, access revoked, and the record updated.

02

Change discipline

When work lands, and when it doesn’t.

We schedule around your close, not ours.

Change lands when it can’t cost you anything. The windows differ by firm; the discipline doesn’t.

The example above is an accounting practice: two filing seasons and a December year-end leave three usable stretches out of twelve months. An investment firm’s calendar looks nothing like it, which is exactly why we map yours before anything is booked.

Filing seasonsJanuary to the April deadline, then mid-August to the October extension deadline.
DeadlinesThe quarterly estimates, and a December given over to closing clients’ books.
Change landsWhatever the deadlines leave: late April to mid-August, split by the June estimate, then mid-October through November.

How a project runs

The same five stages, whatever the work is.
  1. Scope

    Owner, completion date and rollback defined before anything starts.

  2. Plan

    Sequenced against your calendar, not ours.

  3. Window

    Change lands where it can’t cost you anything.

  4. Cutover

    Staged, with the first user touched only after rollback is proven.

  5. Close

    Documentation updated, licenses reclaimed, the record complete.

04

Proof

Projects that landed.
22 APs

Twenty-two access points inside a poured-concrete school and one outdoor unit for the field, on new Cat6 to every classroom: a stable signal to all of it.

“I cannot believe how we got by without a great network.”

Donna Fetzer, Director · Wharbee School
>90%

A gigabit point-to-point link beamed across dozens of acres of summer camp, delivering over 90% of the speed the provider guaranteed, and a live-streamed camp Olympics.

“We were not only able to accomplish our goal, but to do so for less than the fee for a single camper in our camp!”

Adam Johnson, Director · Mohawk Day Camp

Tell us what’s moving. We’ll find the window.

Bring the move, migration or refresh you’re planning. You leave with a scope, an owner and a window.
