Planning a New Office Setup? Here’s Your Complete IT Checklist

Introduction:

Setting up a new office is a huge deal, but for a lot of business owners in Dubai and the rest of the UAE, it results in a lot of stress. You're attempting to balance furniture orders, interior design, and getting licenses approved. Just when everything appears ready, the internet goes down, the printers won't connect, and the team can't log in.

That's what a lot of our clients tell us is true. People forget about the IT infrastructure until it presents a problem.

We can help you avoid those problems with a full checklist for setting up new office IT that is based on real problems and genuine answers.

Actual Customer Issue:

1."We Lost Three Days Because We Forgot About the Cabling"

2.“We were all set to move in. The desks were set up, and the staff was ready, but we didn't arrange for structured cabling. No LAN. No internet. We lost about three working days figuring things out.”
— Tech Manager, SME in Business Bay, Dubai

This is just one of many examples we hear from clients who tried to handle their IT setup for a new office without expert guidance.

Commonly missing items include:

• ▪️Setting up the network and the internet
• ▪️Server room or rack space
• ▪️Proper cabling and power layout
• ▪️Cybersecurity measures like firewalls
• ▪️Setting up devices and sharing printers
• ▪️Backup and disaster recovery solutions

These mistakes can delay down your launch, cost your organization money, and affect staff motivation.

In Abiding - Our safe IT setup for enterprises includes endpoint protection, firewall configuration, cloud backup, and access control.
