Challenges & how we solved them

Challenge
Zero-downtime requirement — must trade Monday morning
Solution
Move scheduled fully out-of-hours across a single weekend with IT partner on standby.
Challenge
Live server rack with client data
Solution
Anti-static packing, temperature-controlled transit, and a documented custody chain signed at each handover.
Challenge
Landlord dilapidations at outgoing office
Solution
Dilapidations clean scheduled for the following Tuesday, negotiated into a single fixed price.

Outcome

  • 42 staff back to work on time Monday
  • No IT downtime, no lost hardware
  • Delivered under budget vs original spec
"The Dimond team ran this like a proper project, not a removal. Weekly calls, a coordinator we could actually reach, and Monday morning was a non-event. Exactly what we hoped for."
