IT provider change and an office move without a handover: network rebuilt for 15 workstations

In 2026 two things coincided at a model agency: an office move with 15 workstations on a fixed date and a change of IT provider. There was no handover and no documentation of the existing environment. Which systems there were, how they fitted together and what access existed all had to be worked out first. It became clear that several parts needed rework, both technically and in terms of security.

I started with a technical inventory: I scanned the network, analysed firewall, switches, storage and access, and documented it all. On that basis I organised the move and rebuilt the environment rather than simply relocating it: a new network with separate security zones, a central firewall with defined access rules, secure remote access for staff and Wi-Fi for the new office. The on-site setup took one day. Everyone involved was coordinated so that everything worked on the first day in the new office.

The moving date was met and work carried on without interruption. The agency now works on a segmented, secured network and knows which systems it has and who is responsible for what. The documentation is the basis for ongoing support.
