Written by Nucleus Networks | Oct 7, 2024 7:00:00 AM

As a leading Managed Service Provider (MSP), we have a dedicated project team that includes Security Consultants, IT Consultants, Solution Architects, and Project Coordinators. Led by Wayne Chow, our Director of Project Services and Cybersecurity, this team works closely with both Client Experience and Operations. Our Project Services Division leads any major technology addition, change, or decommission within a client’s IT ecosystem. Additionally, we can provide standalone one-time projects for non-managed clients! In this blog post, we’ll outline some common IT projects and share why your organization should consider Nucleus for your next IT project. 

The Evolving Workplace 

Businesses invest in various IT projects to enhance efficiency, security, and innovation. During the Covid pandemic many businesses had to very quickly upgrade their technology to enable remote work. The most common project was the move from on-premises file servers to cloud solutions. Many of Nucleus’ clients started using Teams for chat and collaboration and SharePoint for file storage. Office phones were replaced with Zoom or Teams Voice, headsets, webcams, and laptops were procured. With this shift came a heightened need for more robust security solutions. Securing a remote laptop required a further robust set of security tools and best practices. Here’s a list of typical IT projects our clients are investing in: 

Cloud Computing: Migrating infrastructure, applications, and data to cloud platforms (e.g., Azure) for scalability, cost savings, and improved accessibility. Projects also include implementing tools and infrastructure to support remote and hybrid work environments, like Microsoft Teams, Slack, Zoom, etc.  

Cybersecurity: Implementing advanced security measures (on-prem or in the cloud) to protect against data breaches, email phishing, ransomware, and other cyber threats. Whether your servers/technology is in your office, or fully in the cloud, we can ensure that your security posture aligns with best practices, and your business is secured from malicious attacks. 

This includes the following: 

  • Microsoft 365 Security Enhancements 
  • Remote access/remote work technology 
  • Securing collaboration technology (Teams, etc.) 

Microsoft 365 Copilot: Integrating Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to elevate productivity, creativity and streamline operations.

IT Infrastructure Upgrades: Modernizing and refreshing server/network hardware, boardroom technology, and data centers to support new technologies, improve performance, and enhance collaboration.  

Office Moves: Office moves are one of our most common IT projects. Whether your business is expanding an existing office or moving into a new location, we will need help re-locate your technology and ensure that your IT is properly setup at your new site.  

The Nucleus Way 

Our project team is driven to deliver projects on time and on budget while providing an epic client experience. Timelines, milestones, deliverables, and risk are continuously reviewed and adjusted. Once a project has been scoped by our team and approved by the client, our Coordinators manage the day-to-day aspects of the project from the kickoff meeting to the final post-project meeting. After every project, client feedback and improvements are identified and weaved back into Nucleus’ documentation and process for future projects.  

Ongoing investment in technology helps businesses stay competitive, improve efficiency, and provide better services to customers.
