What they said…
We benefit from many of Optimal’s services but when specific projects come up—like my association’s office move in March 2008—I know I can go to Optimal, tell them what I need, and get a competitive price for a fully-managed special project.
My conversations with Optimal about moving all of our technology started over six months before the move was to take place. They helped me with the overall planning—design of the new server room, how it should be organized, what new equipment would provide better solutions and save space, etc. They then facilitated the process of ordering what was needed and ensuring a delivery date well in advance of our move. The day of the move Optimal staff came in, uninstalled the servers, disconnected all the workstations, monitors, printers, routers, switches, etc., tagged and marked everything, and coordinated with the movers on packing up the IT carts safely. When the IT components arrived at our new location (zero damage!), Optimal set up everything from the server room to the workstations. When the staff came in after the move, all they needed to do was unpack their personal effects—our network and systems were up and running.
After the move, Optimal followed up to make sure everything continued working like clockwork. With Optimal on the job, I knew the IT part of the move would go smoothly. That meant less stress so I could focus on the other aspects of the move.
