Problem

For nearly two decades, South Texas Money Management has been managing the assets of individuals, trusts, estates, employee benefits plans, and endowments. In addition to their San Antonio corporate headquarters, South Texas Money Management has offices in Austin, Dallas, Houston and Corpus Christi. South Texas Money Management needed a plan that was executable and scalable in order to help them relocate their corporate office. This project had to be completed within time and budget constraints while not interfering with daily operations.

The Solution

In 2014, South Texas Money Management needed to relocate their corporate headquarters from Olmos Park to downtown San Antonio. IronEdge Group was contracted by South Texas Money Management to oversee the relocation during the planning stages. IronEdge coordinated office and furniture layout, low-volt design, electrical requirements, environmental considerations and new equipment solutions.

The Professional Services Team at IronEdge adjusted the design plans to meet the operational needs of the client and, in turn, saved costs by reducing over-engineered electrical and low volt designs.

“They were an essential piece from the beginning build out all the way to the end of project when we finished our move.”
Alyssa Torres | IT Director, South Texas Money Management

During the execution of the project IronEdge Group worked closely with 3rd party architects, construction engineers, and contractors to ensure the relocation was on schedule and within budget. To prevent an interruption of daily operations, IronEdge Group worked with internet and telephone providers to complete the move outside of normal business hours. Finally, IronEdge Group streamlined South Texas Money Management’s network with the addition of new equipment, including firewalls, switches and access points. South Texas Money Management now has a higher level of insight into the health and utilization of their network environment.

“Our move in February was seamless which we attribute to the services provided by the IronEdge team and their ManagedMOVE service.”
