Office relocation is a nightmare for most business.  There are so many considerations:   furniture, floorplan, who-sits-where and timing to name just a few.  Then there’s IT.  Ordering the new ISP circuits, making sure the printers have power and cabling, making sure the server room has HVAC and the list goes on.  Qualatech consultants have been supporting our customers’ office moves since 2003 and we want to be your go-to resource when it’s time to move your business.

If your organization still has a number of physical servers, you can make substantial gains by leveraging virtualization technology like VMware and Hyper-V to achieve a smallert IT footprint.  The benefits are tangible and include lower HVAC & electric costs, lower IT administrative burden and you can achieve a much higher degree of reliability.

Project Examples

Disaster recovery is often assumed but rarely validated.  Often times, if and when disaster strikes, it’s found to have been slower and more costly than assumed.  Qualatech’s approach to DRP includes exhaustive testing and utilizing industry best practices to ensure your organization can survive business impact events.

The face of business IT is ever-changing.  You need the ability to budget and predict your IT costs at least 3 years into the future.  Qualatech consultants are called up regularly by our clients to provide valuable input to IT costs, analysis for IT costs and justification papers for upgrade and Cloud migrations.
