IT Projects for SMBs

Technical implementation with defined scope and documented delivery

Not every IT problem requires monthly guidance. Sometimes you need a new network, a cloud mail migration, a security deployment, or a specific automation. That is where project work fits: defined scope, budget agreed before kickoff, and deliverables you can verify.

  • Scope defined before execution (inclusions, exclusions, and deliverables).
  • Budget and timeline agreed with risk and dependency visibility.
  • Documented closure so your team is not left with a black-box implementation.

Service catalog

Project areas we execute for SMBs

We execute infrastructure, continuity, migration, and automation fronts with technical control, operational stability, and documented handoff as the baseline.

Area 01

Networks and connectivity

Design, implementation, and optimization of business networks for offices, warehouses, stores, and multi-site operations.

  • Corporate WiFi design (site survey, segmented SSIDs, centralized management).
  • Switching and segmentation with VLANs and QoS for voice/video.
  • Structured cabling (Cat6/Cat6A, patch panels, point certification).
  • Inter-site connectivity (VPN / dedicated links) and performance troubleshooting.

Technologies: Ubiquiti (UniFi), MikroTik, Cisco, pfSense, HP/Aruba, Cambium.

Area 02

Servers and virtualization

Installation, configuration, migration, and initial administration of physical and virtual servers.

  • New server deployment (Windows Server / Linux) and base roles.
  • Virtualization with Proxmox, Hyper-V, or VMware for consolidation.
  • Server migration with downtime control and data preservation.
  • Storage/NAS and cloud workloads when on-prem infrastructure is not required.

Technologies: Proxmox, Hyper-V, VMware ESXi, Windows Server, AlmaLinux, Ubuntu Server, Oracle Cloud, AWS.

Area 03

Physical infrastructure

Racks, power, technical rooms, and cabling as the foundation of operational continuity.

  • Rack installation (floor/wall), organization, labeling, and cable management.
  • UPS and conditioned power with sizing and alerting.
  • Technical room / IDF setup (ventilation, access control, safety conditions).
  • IT relocation / office moves with planning, transfer, and reassembly.

It is not just “running cables”: plans, labeling, certification, and technical documentation are part of the deliverable.

Area 04

Physical and electronic security

Cameras, access control, alarms, and perimeter systems with clear coverage and operating criteria.

  • IP CCTV (coverage design, camera selection, NVR/DVR, remote access).
  • Access control (biometrics, RFID, turnstiles, integrations when applicable).
  • Intrusion alarms, sensors, and centralized monitoring setups.
  • Perimeter protection and alarm system integrations.

Brands: Hikvision, Dahua, ZKTeco, Suprema, Ajax Systems.

Area 05

Cybersecurity and network infrastructure

Data protection, secure access, and practical controls for continuity and compliance needs.

  • Perimeter firewall with rules, remote VPN, and IDS/IPS when required.
  • Endpoint security (AV/EDR, patching, encryption).
  • Email security (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, anti-spam).
  • Backup and recovery with 3-2-1 strategy and documented restore testing.
  • Operational security policies and incident response guidance.

Area 06

Migrations

Move services, data, and platforms without data loss and with minimal operational disruption.

  • Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace migrations (mail, domain, base setup).
  • ISP provider changes with transition planning and stability validation.
  • Server migrations to new hardware, virtualization, or cloud.
  • VoIP/SIP migrations and technical support for ERP/software transitions.

Success depends on planning, pre-migration backups, communicated maintenance windows, and post-migration validation.

Area 07

Automations and integrations

We remove repetitive manual work by connecting systems and building automation flows with operational impact.

  • Automated reporting and scheduled delivery by email/WhatsApp.
  • ERP, CRM, inventory, form, and database integrations.
  • Smart alerts (failed backups, expiring contracts, storage thresholds, etc.).
  • Employee onboarding/offboarding and cross-system data synchronization.

Tools: n8n (self-hosted), Python, REST APIs, webhooks, and Zapier when appropriate.

This is one of our differentiators: automation applied to real operations, not only reactive support.

How a project works

Execution flow with scope, agreed budget, and documented closure

Before execution starts, we define what will be done, how it will be measured, and how it will be delivered. The goal is to avoid ambiguity, budget surprises, and unnecessary technical dependency.

01

Defined scope

We document exactly what will be done, what will be delivered, and what is not included. No ambiguity.

Output: scope, exclusions, and acceptance criteria.

02

Agreed budget

Except for agreed exceptions, the project is defined with a fixed price before kickoff.

Rule: if something unexpected appears during execution, we communicate it before spending more.

03

Realistic timeline

We define realistic timeframes, including third-party dependencies (ISP, vendor, manufacturer, or internal windows).

Output: timeline with milestones and visible dependencies.

04

Documented deliverables

Every project closes with documentation: diagrams, configurations, credentials, and user guides when applicable.

Result: operational continuity without a black-box handoff.

05

Post-implementation support

We include a post-project support period (typically 15-30 days) for adjustments and questions.

Closure: initial stabilization and startup issues resolved.

Do you have a project in mind?

Share the context, and we will assess scope and return a proposal with an agreed budget and clear next steps.

Delivery models

Standalone project or part of a strategic plan?

Projects can be delivered as an independent service or as part of the Fractional CIO roadmap.

Model 01

As a standalone service

We define scope, execute, and deliver. Ideal when you need a specific front solved without ongoing guidance.

  • Starts from a concrete need (network, migration, cameras, automation, etc.).
  • Project scope and budget agreed before execution.
  • Documented closure and post-implementation support according to scope.

Model 02

As part of Fractional CIO

Projects come from the roadmap built with the company and align with a broader IT governance strategy.

  • Better business context, priorities, and dependency awareness.
  • Prioritized from the 90-day plan and reviewed in the monthly committee.
  • Stronger coordination with continuity, vendors, and executive decisions.

In both cases, the project is handled with separate scope and price from the monthly retainer. No hidden costs.

Project deliverables

What you receive during and at closure

In addition to technical execution, we deliver documentation and traceability so the result remains transferable and sustainable.

  • 01

    Documented scope and exclusions

    What will be done, what will not be done, and how acceptance will be validated.

  • 02

    Execution timeline and milestones

    Key dates, third-party dependencies, and agreed work windows.

  • 03

    Technical closure documentation

    Network diagrams, configurations, credentials, and user guides when applicable.

  • 04

    Validation and evidence of operation

    Functional tests, post-implementation verification, and delivery evidence.

  • 05

    Post-project support window

    Adjustment and Q&A period (typically 15-30 days) to stabilize the result.

You are not left with a black box that only our team understands. Critical project information is handed over and documented.

Before quoting

When this project format is the right fit

  • If you are looking for quick fixes without scope, ownership, or deliverables.
  • If there is no willingness to plan work windows or critical dependencies.
  • If the only criterion is price, without considering continuity or closure quality.

It is the right fit when you need a specific front executed with technical control, agreed budget, and documented closure. And you do not need to know the exact technical solution before the first conversation: that is part of our job.

Do you have a project in mind?

We assess scope, present a proposal with an agreed budget, and start when you are ready.

Let us talk

Tell us what project you need to execute

It is fine if you already know the technical solution or if you only know the operational problem. We start with a short conversation to understand scope, risk, and urgency.

If it should be handled as a one-time project or as a Fractional CIO + project route, we will tell you clearly.
