System integration — An IT environment that works as a whole
We connect servers, networks, users, printers, applications and cloud services into an orderly whole. Setting up a new location or renovating an existing environment.
Companies use different systems from different providers. To function as a whole, they need to be thoughtfully connected and documented. We take on the role of one responsible partner, looking at the whole picture — from wiring and network equipment to servers, cloud services and connections with external providers.
Briefly
- We connect servers, networks, users, applications and cloud into one whole.
- Setting up a new location or renovating an existing environment in stages.
- One interlocutor instead of coordination between several contractors.
- The result is an environment that behaves predictably and is documented.
Problem
Typical scenario: one provider set up the network, another server, third M365, fourth ERP. Each piece may be of high quality, but together they act like strangers. When a problem arises, no one knows where to start. There is no documentation. Each provider points the finger at the other and the customer pays both.
How VitalIT helps
We do an overview of the existing components, plan the missing parts, align the external providers and make sure the whole environment is documented. In our work, we rely on good IT management practices, clear procedures and transparent communication. After the project, we can take over long-term maintenance or hand over the environment to your team.
What's included
- Planning of the entire IT architecture (logical and physical topology)
- Connecting servers, networks, users and workstations
- Integration of local environment and cloud (Microsoft 365, Azure)
- Printing system, accesses and file sharing
- Connections to applications and cloud services used by the company
- Cooperation with providers of ERP / accounting / industry solutions on the side of infrastructure and access
- Setting up of new locations and offices (cabling, network, equipment, access)
- Renovation of the existing environment in stages, without downtime for users
- Coordination with external providers (ISP, telephony, printers)
- Documentation of topology, accesses and dependencies
The collaborative process
- 1
Status overview
Inventory of existing systems, providers, contracts and risks.
- 2
Architecture plan
Logical topology connecting all components; selection of equipment and services.
- 3
Phased implementation
Changes gradually, in terms outside critical hours.
- 4
Provider coordination
We coordinate interventions, responsibilities and access with external providers.
- 5
Documentation and submission
All documented; further maintenance or handover to your team.
Typical work examples
- 01Moving to a new office: cabling, network box, Wi-Fi, firewall, printers, M365 access — ready by the first working day.
- 02Renovation of the existing environment: replacement of old switches and routers, segmentation of the network and connection of existing servers into an orderly system.
- 03Local server connection with Microsoft 365 and cloud backup; edited users, passwords and accesses in one record.
- 04Integration of an ERP solution maintained by another provider: access, database, backup, monitoring; division of responsibilities recorded.
- 05Connecting two sites via site-to-site VPN, shared printers, file sharing and unified access for users.
What you get
- Logical and physical environment topology
- List of all providers, contacts and responsibilities
- Documented accesses (who has access to where, with what right)
- Plan for upgrades and dependencies between systems
- Handing down the environment in an ordered form, not in oral tradition

Business benefits
One responsible partner
When something breaks, it's clear who to call — without shifting responsibility.
Better utilization
Systems that 'understand' each other enable more than if each works on its own.
Less risk in changes
With a documented architecture, upgrades and replacements are much less painful.
Easier scaling
A thoughtful topology accommodates new offices, systems, and users.
How much does it cost
We don't have a fixed price list because environments vary greatly between companies. We formulate the price according to the scope of the work and the state of the environment — after the initial inspection, you receive a clear offer with detailed items, without hidden costs.
- Number of users, workstations and servers
- Scope of service — one-time project or monthly cooperation
- State of the environment upon acceptance (documentation, age of equipment, risks)
- Agreed responsiveness and support working hours
- Number of sites and need for field visits
Frequently asked questions
Are you switching existing providers?
Not necessarily. We often act as a technical coordinator between existing providers, where each has its own role, and we make sure that they work together.
Do you also cover ERP, CRM and accounting systems?
We participate in these systems on the side of infrastructure, integrations and accesses. We work with your software provider on the very logic of the solution.
Can we work with internal IT?
Yes. We often work together with one internal person who needs serious backend, or we take on parts that are not their focus (network, security, documentation).
How does the handover of the environment take place?
At the end of the project, we hand over the complete documentation, accesses and described processes. By agreement, we continue to maintain the environment as part of monthly IT support.
