Over Taylor Biggs – IT Merger of Two Firms

Nexus were engaged to assist the practices with the merger by providing project management and  technical services to conduct the relocation and systems integration of all ICT related equipment.

The project team from Nexus met with key personnel from both practices to discuss the technical and logistical aspects of the merger. Key phases and milestones were identified for the delivery of the required relocation and migration work. The project was planned to cause minimum operational impact to the businesses, with preparation tasks completed ahead of the actual office move.

The project was delivered successfully and on time. Nexus systems engineers carried out the following key tasks for the OTB Eveling LLP relocation and merger:

• Preparation of ICT environment and project planning for merger and relocation
• Wireless survey, recommendations and subsequent deployment of new wireless network
• Physical relocation of existing infrastructure to new office
• Integration of Eveling Legal & Advisory Ltd. data and hardware into the existing OTB computing and communication environment
• Reconfiguration of email and network domain to reflect rebranding of the new business
• Coordination of telephony and data connection installations
• Creation of project and hand over documentation

Nexus technical personnel worked over a weekend to complete all necessary stages of the relocation project, this enabled OTB Eveling LLP to begin business on Monday in their new premises following a seamless transition from two disparate ICT environments.
