What We Do
IT Project Design & Deployment
Office moves, network redesigns, and server refreshes are not day-to-day IT support. They are projects that need real planning, a clear proposal, and a team that gets it right the first time.
Big Projects Need More Than a Ticket Queue
An office move, a network redesign, or a server refresh is not something that belongs in a regular support queue alongside password resets and printer issues. These projects need dedicated planning, a defined scope, and a team that treats them as what they are: a one-time initiative with real stakes if it goes wrong.
That is why project work is scoped and planned separately from your day-to-day IT support. For Fully Managed IT and Co-Managed IT clients, larger projects are the one exception to your flat-rate agreement, billed time and materials, but always with a detailed proposal and your approval before any work begins. Your vCIO typically identifies and plans for these needs during your quarterly reviews, so projects are anticipated, not a surprise.
Common Projects We Design and Deploy
No two projects look the same, but most fall into a few common categories. Here is what we design and deploy most often for Central Valley businesses.
OFFICE MOVES & RELOCATIONS
Full IT relocation planning, from network and phone systems to workstations and cabling, so your new location is ready to work on day one.
NETWORK REDESIGNS
A network rebuilt around how your business operates today, not a patchwork of changes layered on top of an outdated design.
SERVER REFRESHES & MIGRATIONS
Aging server hardware replaced or migrated to the cloud, planned and executed with minimal disruption to your team.
NEW LOCATION BUILDOUTS
IT infrastructure designed and deployed for a brand new location, built correctly from the ground up instead of retrofitted after the fact.
INFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADES
Major upgrades to your network, servers, or core systems, planned and executed as a defined project with a clear scope and timeline.
MERGER & ACQUISITION IT INTEGRATION
Two IT environments combined into one, planned carefully so systems, data, and security all come together cleanly.
Planned and Quoted Before Any Work Begins
Projects are the one area where we do not operate on a flat monthly fee. Instead, every project starts with a detailed proposal that outlines scope, cost, and timeline, so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins. Nothing is billed without your approval first.
We lead the design ourselves, and for work that requires physical installation, like structured cabling, we coordinate trusted local partners rather than handing your project off to a contractor who was never part of the original plan.
What Makes Us Different
PROJECTS ARE PLANNED, NOT SQUEEZED IN
A project competing for attention against your daily support tickets does not get the focus it needs. We treat projects as their own dedicated initiative, with a defined scope and timeline.
NO SURPRISE INVOICES, EVEN FOR PROJECT WORK
You get a detailed proposal with clear pricing before anything begins. Nothing is billed without your approval first, even though projects fall outside your flat-rate agreement.
DESIGNED BY THE TEAM THAT SUPPORTS IT AFTER
We do not hand your project off to a separate team once it is designed. The same team that plans your project also supports the result long-term, so nothing gets lost in a handoff.*
ANTICIPATED, NOT A SURPRISE
Your vCIO identifies major projects during your quarterly reviews, so big initiatives are planned ahead of time instead of showing up as an emergency.
Common Questions About IT Project Design & Deployment
IS PROJECT WORK INCLUDED IN OUR FULLY MANAGED IT OR CO-MANAGED IT AGREEMENT?
A: Larger projects are the one exception to your flat-rate Fully Managed IT or Co-Managed IT agreement. They are billed time and materials, but always with a detailed proposal and your approval before any work begins.
HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHAT COUNTS AS A PROJECT VERSUS REGULAR SUPPORT?
A: Generally, anything that is a one-time initiative with a defined scope, like an office move, network redesign, or server refresh, is treated as a project rather than day-to-day support. We will always tell you upfront which category something falls into.
DO YOU HANDLE PROJECTS FOR BUSINESSES THAT ARE NOT ALREADY MANAGED IT CLIENTS?
A: No. Project work is available exclusively to our Fully Managed IT and Co-Managed IT clients. If you are not yet a managed IT client and need project support, the first step is a free assessment to see if a managed agreement is the right fit for your business.
HOW LONG DOES A TYPICAL PROJECT TAKE?
A: It depends entirely on the scope. Your proposal will include a clear timeline before any work begins, so you know what to expect from the start.
HOW DO WE GET STARTED?
A: Schedule a free IT assessment. We will review what you are trying to accomplish and put together a detailed proposal outlining scope, cost, and timeline.
