ICT Setup for a Growing Office: What to Buy First

Network, storage, backup and support — a sensible order of investment for offices moving from five staff to twenty-five.

ICT Setup for a Growing Office: What to Buy First

Growth exposes shortcuts. The single router that served five people becomes the reason twenty-five people cannot join a video call.

Fix the network before the gadgets

Structured cabling, a business-grade router and properly placed access points solve more complaints than any new laptop purchase.

  • Cat6 cabling to fixed workstations
  • Ceiling-mounted access points, not desk routers
  • A separate guest network
  • UPS protection for the switch and router

Centralise your files

Shared drives or a small NAS stop the habit of important documents living on one person's desktop. Pair it with cloud sync so a stolen laptop is an inconvenience, not a crisis.

“Reliable infrastructure is invisible. You only notice it when it is missing.”

Budget for support, not just hardware

A maintenance retainer costs far less than a day of downtime during month-end.
