Why Adding a New Office Should Be Exciting, Not an IT Headache

Opening a new office is a milestone, a chance to expand your team, welcome new clients, and grow your business. But all too often, it's accompanied by IT headaches: poor Wi-Fi, tangled cables, slow startup, and frustrated staff.

At PTS360, we believe your expansion should be exciting, and stress-free. With our comprehensive approach to IT infrastructure and network design, your systems can be ready from day one to support growth, productivity, and future success. Here’s how.

Scene 1: The Day of Setup, When IT Holds You Back

Scenario: Your team shows up at the new office on day one. But instead of hitting productivity mode, they’re waiting for slow Wi-Fi to connect, wrestling with unmanaged cables under desks, or struggling to access shared resources.

Why it happens: Last-minute infrastructure setups often ignore scalability or proper cable management. Without structured cabling, bandwidth planning, and full network design, the environment is prone to frustration and downtime.

Scene 2: Scaling Without the Headache

At PTS360, we flip the script. We build office environments that are ready when you are:

• Structured Cabling: Neatly installed cabling reduces clutter, makes future adjustments easier, and lowers maintenance costs.

• Enterprise-Grade Wi-Fi: We ensure comprehensive coverage so every corner of your office stays connected.

• Future-Proof Network Design: Whether it's a single office or a multi-site setup, we design your network to scale seamlessly.PTS360

Scene 3: Peace of Mind from Deployment to Day-to-Day

Why it matters:

• You avoid surprise delays and infrastructure confusion.

• Employees work smoothly and confidently from day one.

• Your IT foundation enhances your agility and supports long-term goals.

PTS360 also deploys:

• Servers: physical, virtual, or hybrid—tailored to your workload needs.

• Virtualisation: (VMware, Hyper-V, cloud options) to boost efficiency and simplify disaster recovery.

• Monitoring & Alerts: Real-time oversight to catch issues before they impact you.

• Routine Health Checks: Proactive assessments to keep your systems resilient and reliable.

Case Example: From Delayed Launch to Smooth Sailing

Imagine a growing Southampton-based business planning to open a second office. With PTS360’s front-to-back setup:

• Cable runs were neatly installed and clearly labelled.

• The Wi-Fi network was stress-tested before employees arrived.

• Servers were virtualised to reduce hardware footprint and boost disaster recovery plans.

• Monitoring alerts caught a minor network issue instantly, before operations were affected.

The result? The office launched on schedule, employee morale soared, and operations scaled effortlessly.
