Executive summary

Aligning Rawlinson and Hunter's technology with the way the organization works.

Rawlinson and Hunter (R&H) is an international accounting and advisory firm with over 80 years of experience in providing a wide range of services, including audit and assurance, tax, advisory, and family office services. R&H operates in several countries across the globe, including the British Virgin Islands (BVI), where it has a branch office. Client’s

MicroAntix approached Rawlinson and Hunter as an operating environment rather than a collection of isolated devices. The scope brought office transition, network and managed IT together with practical deployment controls, validation and a documented support path.

The challenge

Where Rawlinson and Hunter's existing environment constrained reliable operations.

The challenge for Rawlinson and Hunter was not a single device or isolated fault. It was the relationship between office transition, network and the operating demands of client service, compliance-sensitive workflows and operational continuity. R&H approached MicroAntix with the challenge of relocating their entire IT infrastructure from their current office to a new location in the BVI. R&H’s main concern was the downtime that their business would experience during the relocation process. They wanted to ensure that their IT systems were back up and running as soon as possible to minimize any disruption to their day-to-day operations. MicroAntix’s

Transition planning

Systems had to move or be established with careful sequencing, minimal disruption and clear coordination across teams. The risk to Rawlinson and Hunter's operations was evaluated through site readiness, installation sequencing, cutover and post-move stabilization before the solution was specified. This made a measured, supportable response more important than an isolated component replacement.

Network reliability

Core connectivity needed to support users, applications and connected systems without becoming an operational bottleneck. The risk to Rawlinson and Hunter's operations was evaluated through switching, routing, equipment organization and dependable access to core services before the solution was specified. This made a measured, supportable response more important than an isolated component replacement.

Support accountability

Technology issues needed a clear response path, proactive maintenance and less disruption to day-to-day work. For Rawlinson and Hunter, resolving this required a clear understanding of monitoring, escalation, maintenance ownership and responsive user support, not only replacement equipment. This made a measured, supportable response more important than an isolated component replacement.

The MicroAntix solution

Bringing office transition and network together for Rawlinson and Hunter.

The implementation for Rawlinson and Hunter was structured around client service, compliance-sensitive workflows and operational continuity, with office transition providing the technical anchor. To address R&H’s challenge, MicroAntix proposed a comprehensive IT relocation plan. The plan included the following steps: Pre-Relocation Consultation: MicroAntix conducted a detailed consultation with R&H’s IT team to understand their existing IT infrastructure, business processes, and systems. This allowed MicroAntix to identify any potential challenges and plan accordingly. Inventory and Documentation: MicroAntix created a detailed inventory of all R&H’s IT assets, including servers, workstations, printers, and other network devices.

01

Coordinate the transition

Site readiness, equipment, cabling, testing and cutover activities were sequenced around operational priorities. This gave the Rawlinson and Hunter team a documented approach to site readiness, installation sequencing, cutover and post-move stabilization.

02

Build the network foundation

Switching, routing, addressing and equipment configuration were organized into a reliable, supportable environment. This gave the Rawlinson and Hunter team a documented approach to switching, routing, equipment organization and dependable access to core services.

03

Operationalize support

Monitoring, maintenance, documentation and escalation procedures created a practical model for ongoing assistance. The Rawlinson and Hunter deployment accounted for monitoring, escalation, maintenance ownership and responsive user support before final testing and handover.

04

Design wireless coverage

Access-point placement and configuration were aligned with the property layout, user density and expected device demand. This gave the Rawlinson and Hunter team a documented approach to coverage zones, roaming, device density and real-world use across the property.
