The whole argument, in two pictures

Same closet. Same equipment. Readable.

The same wall, before and after. Nothing was replaced. What changed is that every run can now be traced by eye.

MDF, IDF and network closet upgrade

Your closets work. That is not the same as readable.

Recable, label, test and document, so the next refresh is a swap rather than an investigation.

MDFs, IDFs and network closets drift. A run gets added in a hurry, a label falls off, somebody swaps a switch at 6pm and means to come back. Ten years of that and everything works and nothing can be traced. That is not an outage risk. It is a bill you have not received yet, and it arrives on the next project.

  • Nothing in the closet changes except what it costs you next time
  • Scoped before anything starts, with the work photographed
  • You keep the document, not just a tidier closet

We will come back with what a scope would look like and what it would cost. Nothing starts until that is agreed in writing.

OUR GUARANTEE

Clean it now, pay less on the next project.

If we have cleaned up your closet, our proposal for the next upgrade will cost less than it would have otherwise. Fewer unknowns in the closet means fewer variables in the quote, and fewer variables means a lower price. Every unknown is a risk, and risk gets priced in.

What you get

  • 01

    Recabled and labelled at both ends

    Patch field and switch in the same order, so a change is a change rather than a puzzle.

  • 02

    Every port tested, results written down

    You get a port map that is correct on the day we leave, not one that was correct once.

  • 03

    Before and after, photographed

    You can see exactly what you bought, and so can whoever approves it.

  • 04

    Faster troubleshooting

    Every run can be traced by its label, so a fault gets found faster.

Find out what a scope would look like.

Tell us roughly how many MDFs and IDFs and we will come back with what is in scope, what is not, and what it costs.
