Well, we are getting there. The Data Centre is on line, critical systems in place and running on test load at the moment. As always there are a number of small annoying things to finish as part of the tidy up but we are on programme, which is good.
Sadly, the telecommunications phase is holding us up. Good old BT can't get circuits in on time as usual and indeed only starting provisioning the first Short Haul circuit yesterday (17th April). I am, hoping fervently that as soon as that is active we can at least start to migrate and test some of the systems.
When BT actually get moving they are OK. When they finally got round to it we got the fibre sub-ducts in quickly. when they finally got round to it we had the fibre blown in quickly. Their main problem seems to be a complete lack of joined-up management, not helped by the onerous rules that OfCom in the UK subject them too.
Ah well at least us falling behind the curve has taken the bad look off the fact that the office build and fit-out project, being managed by others, is well behind time.
This week and next week could be interesting!
