Industry Architecture and Industrial Design Services Provided Telecom Expense Optimization, Cost Reduction, Procurement Services, Service Delivery Coordination The oldest Architecture firm in America was planning a move from a single-site office building that they had been leasing for over 40 years to a new suite in a different building in downtown Philadelphia. The IT Team and the company's principals sought a way to reduce their IT costs as part of the move. Challenge The client had a tight deadline to ensure the move to the new office was completed on time. They also had a large amount of infrastructure to move to their own Prem Data Center, which needed to be up and operational for staff to continue staying productive.
