Start up businesses/SMEs in the early stage of their development frequently call on us to provide them with installation services. This normally includes:

• structured cabling (CAT 5e)
• network infrastructure
• advice on the most appropriate hardware for current and future needs
• supply, implementation and configuration of hardware
• general advice on how to get the very best out of their IT system

This is a critical transition stage for any business. IT requirements vary slightly depending on whether we are working with a new or existing customer:

• audit and review current premises to understand and assess existing network infrastructure and hardware (not usually required for existing customers)
• assess the needs of the new premises to support the infrastructure
• plan a schedule for the move and implement the new system
• liaise with other companies to facilitate the move of 3rd party systems e.g. Telecom providers, software developers

At m3 Networks we recognise not only the criticality of this stage, but also the potential for stress. We can help to minimise the stress associated with new premises. We provide a single point of contact for all IT related systems, ensuring your move is as seamless as possible.

As a business expands and starts to operate from multiple sites, the quality and sophistication of the network infrastructure becomes increasingly important to the ongoing success of the business. The significant elements are typically:

• detailed planning and consultancy advice
• common data requirements for all the sites
• reciprocal back-ups
• complex networking
• planning to accommodate future business needs

Upgrades of existing hardware, additions to the network infrastructure and replacements to an existing operation. This would cover such common requirements as:

• extra computers
• new printers and other peripherals
• infrastructure upgrades and additions
• setting up new users
• additional cabling
