Atlantis methodology

Atlantis' best-practice methodology addresses the 5 phases of a typical business relocation, yet maintains enough flexibility to easily incorporate the unique needs of each project. The methodology is continually refined to reflect new developments in the marketplace and to ensure it exceeds expectations.

viewOpen SectionStrategic Analysis

The larger the project, the more complex. Defining the critical needs and analysing the business, operational and workforce constraints allows us to evaluate a range of possible solutions and recommend options specific to your unique requirements:

  • Analyse department interdependencies, define potential risks and develop contingencies
  • Define internal and external communication requirements
  • Define security and access requirements
  • Define space and facility requirements
  • Define contractor requirements and manage tender selection
  • Compile and audit people data
  • Compile and audit filing & storage data
  • Compile and audit technology, data and telephony needs
  • Recommend relocation solution, budget and timeline

viewPlanning & scheduling

The more comprehensive your planning process, the more hours you save in subsequent phases. In this phase we determine the requirements of each task, schedule the sequence they need to be completed and communicate the relocation plans:

  • Determine and allocate team resources
  • Develop detailed BOS documentation
  • Create and distribute internal and external communication plans
  • Develop master relocation schedules
  • Select 3rd party contractors
  • Establish project help desk

viewImplementation & monitoring

Before commencing the physical relocation, relocation 'readiness' needs to be verified and monitored:

  • Signoff schedules
  • Interface with 3rd party contractors
  • Conduct 'trial runs' if required
  • Communicate move instructions
  • Prepare coding & labeling systems
  • Prepare new premises
  • Prepare assets for disposal
  • Monitor and report on any issues

viewExecution & delivery

Once operational readiness has been verified, it's time to move:

  • Implement and supervise relocation
  • Verify data and voice systems
  • Monitor progress and troubleshoot
  • Disposal of assets
  • Audit checklists
  • Clean up
  • Verify completion

viewEvaluation & handover

During this final phase Atlantis clarifies customer satisfaction and incorporates any lessons learnt back into the strategic and planning processes:

  • Resolve final issues
  • Signoff and handover
  • Conduct client satisfaction survey
  • Performance review and evaluation
