Small Company roll out procedures?

Question

Hi i own a small company called student phones and are planning to build my network soon. We sell phones online to students

I have one main head office with a few more branch offices.


I am just wondering how to set up my network. Shall I just jump in head first and set up the whole network and hope it doesnt fall over or shall i set up one office at a time??

Answer 1

This is not a network question it is a business question! Risk vs Rewards vs Needs etc.

You have to decide whether your business can work with ONE location or if it requires multiple ones in order to accomplish what you need to accomplish. If you can "Open" with a single location then you should do so and let the business growth determine your expansion.

Networks can and do grow as needed so there is no need to build one until needed.

Answer 2

are you asking for trouble and aggrevation ?
Set it up a smaller manner
Make sure that you have a running system then expand
Networking is complex enough , networking people will tell you nothing.
They speak their own language.
If the networking is not set up exactly right it will not work
Spare yourself trouble.
Set up a test network
learn the pitfalls and words
Then expand
