Opening Day Is the Wrong Time to Discover Something Was Missed.

The furniture is installed.

Employees are arriving Monday.

Then someone asks:

When is the internet being installed?

Or the carrier arrives and discovers the demarc is nowhere near the new network room.

Or the cabling contractor is waiting for the electrician.

Or the phones are installed—but the numbers haven’t ported.

Or the Wi-Fi access points were never included in the cabling plan.

New offices, relocations, expansions, and facility openings have dozens of technology dependencies—and one missed detail can put the entire opening at risk.

The Kommvia New Office Telecom & Network Launch Kit gives IT and facilities teams a practical system for managing the communications infrastructure from initial site discovery through opening day.

START WITH THE OPENING DATE

Work backward from the day employees need to operate.

Coordinate:

Carrier Orders • Construction • Cabling • Telecom Rooms • Network Equipment • Wi-Fi • Phones • Number Porting • Testing • Move Day

Instead of managing each piece separately, build one coordinated launch plan.

GET INTERNET ORDERED EARLY

Carrier delivery can become the critical path of the entire project.

Track:

• Internet/DIA orders
• Backup connectivity
• Carrier construction
• Service addresses
• Demarc locations
• Circuit IDs
• Installation appointments
• Delivery dates
• Escalation contacts
• Activation and acceptance testing

Know exactly where every carrier order stands.

PLAN THE CABLING

Turn the floor plan into an actual infrastructure plan.

Account for:

Workstations • Phones • Wireless Access Points • Printers • Conference Rooms • Specialty Devices • Backbone Cabling • Patch Panels • Racks

Track installation, testing, labeling, ownership, and completion.

GET THE MDF & IDF READY

Your network can’t be installed properly if the telecom room isn’t ready.

Verify:

Rack or Cabinet • Power • UPS/PDU • Patch Panels • Cable Management • Carrier Extension • Access • Security • Environment

Make the telecom room a project milestone—not an opening-day surprise.

BUILD THE NETWORK & WI-FI

Track the infrastructure needed to make the office operational:

Firewall • Router • Switches • PoE • VLANs • DHCP • DNS • Access Points • Wi-Fi • WAN/Failover

Document equipment, configuration status, installation, testing, and ownership.

DEPLOY THE PHONE SYSTEM

Plan business communications alongside the network.

Document:

• Users and extensions
• Desk phones and softphones
• Main numbers
• DIDs
• Auto attendants
• Queues and ring groups
• Voicemail
• After-hours routing
• Mobile users
• Emergency calling administration
• Paging and intercom

Know who needs what before deployment day.

CONTROL NUMBER PORTING

Moving a business doesn’t necessarily mean the phone numbers move automatically.

Track every number from the old environment into the new one.

Document the current carrier, account, purpose, porting decision, authorization, target date, confirmed date, status, and post-port testing.

And don’t disconnect the old service until the new environment has been validated.

FIND THE SPECIALTY SYSTEMS

Business communications extend beyond phones and laptops.

Identify dependencies involving:

Fax • Elevators • Fire/Security Systems • Door Phones • Intercom • Paging • Building Systems • POS • Modems • Telemetry

Assign the appropriate vendor and acceptance test before opening.

CONTROL THE VENDORS

New-office projects often involve several companies working simultaneously.

The kit helps coordinate:

ISP/Carrier • Cabling Contractor • Network Team/MSP • VoIP Provider • Electrician • Landlord • Furniture Vendor • Specialty Vendors • Internal IT • Facilities

Define responsibilities and dependencies before they turn into finger-pointing.

USE A FORMAL READINESS GATE

Before opening day, answer one question:

Are we actually ready?

The included readiness system verifies that critical infrastructure has been completed and tested.

Internet active?

Cabling tested?

MDF/IDF ready?

Network operational?

Wi-Fi validated?

Phones working?

Numbers ready?

Specialty systems tested?

Support coverage scheduled?

If something isn’t ready, you’ll know who owns it and what needs to happen.
