Before move-in day
- Order the business internet line early — provisioning can take weeks.
- Plan network cabling and points for desks, printers and access points.
- Design WiFi coverage for the floor area and expected device count.
- Specify a business firewall rather than relying on the ISP router alone.
- Prepare computers, user accounts and email before staff arrive.
Systems and data
- Set up Microsoft 365, email and authentication (with MFA on from the start).
- Decide on shared file storage and how it is structured.
- Configure monitored backups before any real data lands on the systems.
Security from day one
It is far easier to build security in than to retrofit it. Enable multi-factor authentication, deploy endpoint protection on every device, and set least-privilege access as you create accounts. Doing this during setup avoids a painful clean-up later.
Planning an office move?
An office move is far smoother when the IT is planned rather than rushed in the final week. If you have a new space lined up, we can coordinate the whole setup — internet and cabling, WiFi, firewall, computers, Microsoft 365, shared storage, backups and security — so everything is tested and ready before your team walks in. We do this regularly for businesses across Singapore and know where the delays usually hide, especially around internet provisioning. Share your move-in date and rough headcount, and we will map out a realistic timeline and a quote covering everything you need on day one.
