IT Installation Services for Your Business
IT installation services that fit the way you work
Whether you’re planning to install a new IT system, upgrading or replacing old equipment or want your IT system tweaked to improve performance, our certified IT engineers and technicians are experienced in delivering phased switchovers to minimise the impact on your day to day business operation.
HTL are approved partners of a number of leading IT software and hardware manufacturers but we are equally happy to work with your own preferred brands and suppliers.
If you haven’t already planned your IT system, our team of experienced IT consultants can provide you with the guidance you need from day 1 to ensure the optimum productivity and efficiency of your IT system whilst keeping setup and any on-going maintenance and IT support costs down. Our experienced team have developed short and long term IT strategies for companies with as few as 5 users to over 750.
IT requirements vary from business to business and “out of the box” solutions rarely tick all the boxes – you are either paying for services your business doesn’t need or they lack crucial elements. AT HTL we work closely with our customers to understand the needs of their business, both now and in the foreseeable future, so that we deliverflexible, scalable and above all cost effective IT solutions.

Options to combine installations with IT Consultancy, IT Systems Support and Managed IT Services for ongoing care.
- Phased switchovers designed to minimise downtime and keep staff productive.

- Clear handover and documentation so your team know what’s been installed and how it’s configured.
IT Installation Services: Configuration and Hot Testing
IT Installation Services: Configuration and Hot Testing
Configuration
Servers and network equipment is setup and tested off site and users and preferences are configured in advance. This reduces our engineers' time on site and minimises disruption to your business by making the equipment as "plug and play" as possible.
Hot Testing
If a piece of IT equipment is going to break it's more than likely to be within the first 24 hours of use, our engineers run all your equipment through comprehensive test cycles before we even deliver it on site.
How our Installation and Configuration Projects Work
Every installation is different, but most follow a simple pattern that keeps disruption low and everyone informed.
Plan & Schedule
We review your current environment, scope the changes and agree dates and times that minimise disruption to your users.
Pre-stage & Configure Off Site
Wherever possible, we build and configure servers, network devices and user profiles in our lab before anything arrives on site.
On-site Installation
Our engineers install and connect equipment, working around your team, and keep downtime to a minimum.
Testing & Sign-off
We test performance and failover, make sure users can log in and access what they need, and resolve any teething issues.
Handover & Ongoing Support
You get documentation and a clear handover. If required, we then support the environment through IT Systems Support, IT Network Support or Managed IT Services.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will our staff lose access to systems during the installation?
We plan installations carefully to minimise disruption and, where possible, do most configuration work off site before equipment arrives. Any unavoidable downtime is agreed in advance and often scheduled out of hours.
Can you carry out installations outside normal working hours?
Yes. Evening and weekend work is common for larger changes so you can come in on Monday to a working system, rather than watching engineers in the middle of the day.
Do you only install IT equipment you’ve supplied?
No. We’re happy to install equipment you’ve bought yourself or through existing suppliers. The key is that we have enough information to configure and test it properly. Where you want a single point of contact, we can also supply kit through our IT Equipment service.
Do you document everything you install and configure?
Yes. As part of the handover, we provide clear documentation on what’s been installed, how it’s configured and any changes made to your environment. This makes ongoing support and future changes much easier.
Who supports the systems after they’re installed?
We test and certify new cabling runs using appropriate test equipment and can provide results for your records, landlords or auditors, along with manufacturer warranty where applicable.
Planning an IT Installation or Upgrade?
If you’re about to install new servers, storage, networking or end-user devices, we can help you plan the work, minimise downtime and leave you with a clean, well-documented setup that’s easy to support.
