Office IT Setup

Everything your office needs, as quickly as possible

Setting up a new office is a stressful time. You want to get your IT in place quickly so you are not paying for unproductive space. However, you need to get it right as it will be much harder to make changes to your IT infrastructure with staff actively working there. Yet if you are not an IT specialist – or you do not have one in-house – the array of software and hardware choices for your office IT setup can be overwhelming.

ComplexITy takes away the pain of office IT setup. We will work with you to plan and carry out your office IT setup, to make sure you get the right software and infrastructure in place. This enables you to get back to business as quickly as possible.

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)

There is a growing trend amongst organisations of all sizes to support BYOD arrangements. This is where employees use their own equipment (usually laptops) in the office. There are several benefits for employees:

• They are using a familiar device of their own choosing, rather than having to use a ‘one size fits all’ corporate laptop
• They have already personalised the device as they wish – background images of family members, having their own music etc. – which leads to happier and more productive employees
• Since it is their own property, they are likely to take very good care of the device

However, BYOD does bring about certain concerns for employers:

• There is a loss of control – you cannot lock down these devices in the same way as corporate PCs, so you cannot know or restrict what non-work related software and data will be installed on these devices
• Support can be more difficult – every device can be different in terms of hardware, operating system, software, and configuration
• Security can be a concern – you cannot assume that employees will keep their antivirus and antispyware software up-to-date, and there is the risk of theft of unencrypted corporate data stored on the device

ComplexITy’s BYOD consultancy service enables employees and employers to experience the benefits of a BYOD policy, whilst mitigating the risks. We will work with you to plan and implement a BYOD setup with the following characteristics:

• Centralised management of users, applications, data, and devices
• All local data on BYOD devices is encrypted, and can be remotely erased
• Access to corporate data and applications from non-office locations is via secure, encrypted network connections
• Corporate data storage is cloud or network-based where possible, for enhanced data security, and to enable access by employees from both personal and corporate devices
• Installation and maintenance of corporate applications installed on BYOD devices is automated and straightforward for employees
