Overview

A newly established office needed a full IT environment built from an empty shell: no cabling, no network, no servers — and a hard launch date.

Mignet ran the project end to end, from infrastructure planning and structured cabling through workstation deployment, Microsoft 365, security hardening and an IT asset register.

The challenge

  • A tight office launch deadline with no room to slip
  • No existing IT infrastructure of any kind on site
  • Secure network requirements: firewall, controlled access, reliable connectivity
  • Immediate need for email, cloud storage and collaboration tools
  • Multiple vendors to coordinate — ISP, hardware suppliers, cabling contractors

Our approach

  1. 01

    IT planning & consultation

    • Reviewed business operations, headcount and growth plans
    • Designed the network architecture and capacity plan
    • Produced a staged deployment roadmap
  2. 02

    Network infrastructure & connectivity

    • Structured cabling installation
    • Router and switch configuration
    • Secure business Wi-Fi deployment
    • Firewall setup with security policies
    • VLAN and network segmentation
  3. 03

    Hardware & workstation deployment

    • Desktop, laptop, monitor and peripheral setup
    • Printer, scanner and shared device integration
    • On-premise server for storage and backup
  4. 04

    Microsoft 365 & cloud collaboration

    • Microsoft 365 provisioning and licensing
    • Business email and Outlook configuration
    • Teams, OneDrive and SharePoint deployment
    • Data migration from legacy systems
  5. 05

    Cybersecurity & data protection

    • Endpoint protection and anti-malware rollout
    • Firewall hardening and access-control policies
    • Backup and data-protection setup
    • Device security hardening
  6. 06

    IT asset management

    • Asset tagging and hardware inventory
    • Device allocation records and documentation
    • Warranty and lifecycle tracking

Results delivered

  • The office went live on schedule with a secure, high-speed network
  • Employees started on fully configured workstations from day one
  • Microsoft 365 collaboration environment in place from launch
  • Reduced technical issues and downtime after go-live
  • A scalable foundation ready for headcount growth
  • Clear asset visibility for support and lifecycle planning
The level of service was outstanding — the entire setup was handled smoothly and professionally.

Network installation, workstation deployment, cybersecurity, cloud services and IT asset management — delivered as one coordinated project.

Why does IT infrastructure matter for a new office?

It determines productivity from day one, protects business data, supports collaboration and allows the office to scale without a rebuild.

How long does a complete office IT setup take?

It depends on office size and scope; a phased plan with vendor coordination typically has a new office operational within its launch window.
