The challenge

An independent financial-services firm needed a complete, institutional-grade technology environment for a new central London office on a very tight deadline.

  • The new office required networks, devices, voice, meeting technology and secure access from the ground up.
  • The initial design had to support 25 users and allow rapid expansion.
  • Downtime at launch would have prevented the firm from serving clients.
  • The Grade II listed building required careful installation planning and high standards of workmanship.
