You set up IT for a new site office quickly with cloud-based systems your team can reach from day one, connectivity arranged ahead of time, standard device builds, and security applied from the start. When your systems are cloud-based and your setup follows a standard, a new site or project office can be productive in days rather than weeks, and it’s secure from the moment it opens.
Construction firms open site offices as projects start. Here’s how to make each one quick and painless.
1. Cloud systems reachable from day one
Because your email, files and software are cloud-based, staff at a new site get access straight away through their accounts. There’s no need to build the systems again at each location.
2. Connectivity arranged ahead
Internet at a new site can have a lead time, so we arrange it early, with a quick option like mobile broadband to bridge the gap if needed. Getting people online fast is the key to a productive new site.
3. Standard device builds
The same build, software and security on every machine means staff at the new site are ready to work quickly, and support is consistent with the rest of the firm.
4. Security from the start
MFA, endpoint protection and managed devices apply from the first day a site opens. Security is part of the standard setup, so a new site is never left exposed.
A real example: consistent setup across locations
We support construction and trades businesses with cloud-based systems and standard builds, so adding a location or getting new people online is quick and consistent. People reach what they need from day one, wherever the work is.
For most construction and trades SMEs, this sits within fully managed IT at about £45 to £100 per user per month, billed per user, with secure access for site and office teams built in.
