Deinstall & Pack

We carefully deinstall your ICT equipment - network switches, Wi-Fi, servers, telephony, audio-visual, computers, print/copy, etc, and safely pack it for its move. Our people are ICT experts and understand how to handle this expensive and fragile equipment. This includes coordinating any backup and decommissioning to avoid any data loss.

Reinstall & Test

We deliver the IT equipment to each final destination, unpack, reinstall and reconnect. Our experts fully test the equipment following decant, providing evidence for client sign-off. Our engineers install and commission legacy solutions, fully integrating them with any new systems or infrastructure on site.

Plan & Track

We register each item, identifying and agreeing its existing and future location, planning the move to minimise disruption. Our team fully track each item during decant by maintaining a decant register, performing pre-tests, labelling, packing in appropriate containers and performing post-tests following reinstallation. 

Your building, IT ready

Moving is painful, and moving ICT can be daunting - it's fiddly, expensive, and full of important data. An experienced expert can take the stress out of your move, providing an end-to-end decant service that ensures the building occupants can hit the ground running from day 1.

An ICT Decant Partner service provides you with experts who have the knowledge and on-site experience to carefully manage and de-risk the ICT transition, whether moving into a temporary or permanent accommodation.

Our clients choose Novatia as their ICT Decant Partner when they need a safe pair of experienced hands to ensure their ICT gets to its final destination intact, when they don't have time for disruption to their work or lives and need to get their systems operational straight away, when they need a partner to meticulously plan and track every aspect of the decant process.

Take the first step

Take a look at the Novatia Construction process flow.

“Working with Novatia provided us with an objective analysis of what was in place across all our academies so that we could be confident about the information we were using to make our decisions. The Data Audit provided a clear, visual oversight of how data was flowing between all the different products used in our Trust and has meant our MIS procurement and implementation took into account all the integrations that were required so the dataflow was maintained.”
