Navigating Growth and IT Relocation for a Patient-Centric Dental Services Provider

The Challenge: Relocating IT Infrastructure While Ensuring Minimal Disruption to Operation

A leading dental services provider, was in the process of relocating its corporate office to a new facility. As part of this transition, they faced the formidable task of relocating their IT infrastructure while ensuring minimal disruption to their operations. Focusing specifically on their IT room, a clean-up effort was needed to eliminate outdated hardware from existing IT racks in the server room. This included a systematic decommissioning process for various equipment types. Despite replacing old hardware, both existing IT racks were to remain in place as they still housed essential network components. This presented the challenge of extracting old equipment while preserving the operational components. The accumulation of old hardware required proper inventorying and eventual electronic recycling

The Solution: Seamless Transition of the IT Infrastructure

Judge’s infrastructure team devised a comprehensive plan to ensure a seamless transition of the IT hardware. This plan was comprised of decommissioning old equipment by meticulously retiring and categorizing each piece of hardware to expedite the relocation process. The team executed the removal of this old equipment while ensuring the structural integrity and operational components of the IT racks remained intact. Careful labeling and documentation were carried out to prevent any confusion during reinstallation. Judge provided the client with a detailed inventory of all removed equipment to help facilitated future electronic recycling pickups

The Result: A Streamlined IT Transition During a Corporate Office Relocation
