Defined technology projects

IT projects with a start, a plan and a handover

NovaStak Ltd delivers defined technology projects in addition to ongoing managed services. Migrations, office installations, network deployments and infrastructure upgrades are scoped, implemented and handed over independently, or alongside an existing internal IT team.

IT projects for small and medium businesses across the UK. NovaStak Ltd is based in Northamptonshire. We do not claim project-management certifications on this page.

Typical engagements

The kinds of project we take on

Work is agreed around a business outcome, not a catalogue of hours. If the better answer is ongoing managed IT rather than a one-off project, we will say so.

Microsoft 365 and identity

Microsoft 365 migrations, mailbox moves, identity projects and device deployments.

Cloud and servers

Cloud migrations, server migrations and infrastructure consolidation.

Networks and offices

Network deployments, Wi-Fi deployments, network refreshes, office IT installations and office moves.

Infrastructure upgrades

Technology modernisation where the current setup has grown by accident.

Procurement-led roll-outs

Hardware selected, configured and deployed as a project. See IT procurement.

How a project runs

From discovery to handover

The sequence is the same whether we are the only technology partner or we are sitting alongside your team: understand the requirement, design the approach, then implement without leaving the environment undocumented.

1

Discovery and requirements

How the small and medium business works today, constraints, and what “done” actually means.

2

Solution design and planning

The technical approach, sequence, risks and who needs to be involved.

3

Implementation, migration and testing

The cutover or build, with checks before staff are asked to rely on it.

4

Documentation, handover and support

What was built, how to operate it, and whether ongoing support should follow.

Independently, or with your existing team

Some small and medium businesses have no internal IT function and need a project delivered end to end. Others already have capable people and need extra hands, a specialist workstream, or a second view. NovaStak can work either way. Strategy and assessments that are not a delivery project belong under IT consultancy.

Project questions

How is an IT project different from managed IT?

A project has a defined outcome, plan and handover. Managed IT is ongoing support and administration. We can deliver either, or both together.

Can you work with our internal IT team or another supplier?

Yes. Projects can be delivered independently or alongside an existing internal IT team or other technology partners, where the scope and access make that workable.

Is the free consultation the same as a paid project?

No. The free conversation is to understand the problem and whether we can help. A project is scoped work with a defined output.

Talk through the project before it gets expensive

Bring the deadline, the quotes or the current environment. We will say whether a defined project is the right next step.
