What it is

New Office and GCC Floor IT

New office and GCC floor IT is everything a site needs to open and run: cabling, network, Wi-Fi, security, collaboration and end-user devices.

For a GCC, the parent company usually sets the standards and NetScale builds to them locally. The work is phased to the opening date, and support continues after the floor opens.

Collaboration across the offices you already run, consolidated onto one standard, sits under Unified communications and collaboration.

    The global security team will check the floor against its standard. Who produces the evidence?

    Our answer: Floor and office design

    Laptops for the first joiners arrive the week the floor opens. Who sets them up?

Each phase adds a layer to the same estate.

An IT estate on one platform, as the home film draws it: racks, network, storage, an office and a mast. Assess marks: floor plan; headcount ramp. Deliver adds: cabling and network; security and devices. Operate adds: asset tracking and renewals; local support.

India specifics and cost.

India specifics

  • Global standards, local delivery

    Parent-company security and identity standards are implemented locally, with the evidence a global security team expects.

  • DPDP as a processor

    A GCC handling personal data for its parent is usually a data processor under the DPDP Act. For data of people outside India, processed under a contract with the parent, section 17(1)(d) lifts most of the Act’s duties; the security safeguards duty in section 8(5) still applies. Access control, logging and retention are designed in from day one. Legal interpretation stays with your counsel.

  • Opex options

    The full IT build can be taken on a monthly opex model where the business prefers it to a capital purchase.

What drives the cost

  1. 01

    Seat count, and the number of meeting rooms and collaboration spaces.

  2. 02

    Parent-company mandates on specific OEMs and security tooling.

  3. 03

    Opex or capital purchase, and the length of the support contract.

  4. 04

    Time to the opening date: a compressed timeline raises procurement and staging costs.

Questions buyers ask about this.

How far ahead of the opening date should we start?

It depends on procurement and staging, which usually take the longest for a floor of a few hundred seats. For one global brand’s new technology company in Bengaluru, delivery of the full environment was scheduled at three months from order. Tell us the date and the floor plan, and we will give you a written timeline. It lists the decisions that have to be taken first, and by when.

Can you work with our global IT team and their standards?

Yes. Most GCC builds are specified by a global team and delivered locally. We implement to their standards, working with your existing partners and the OEMs they have chosen, and give them the evidence they will check. Then we stay to support the floor after it opens.

What do we keep if we bring support in-house later?

Everything we built. It is documented and handed over as if you might leave tomorrow: runbooks, configurations and credentials are yours. You can stop at any phase boundary, and the asset records we kept for the floor go to your team too.

How do we bring you on as a supplier with our parent’s security team?

Send the parent’s supplier security questionnaire and registration forms to the address under For procurement on our contact page. Our legal name, CIN and certificate numbers are listed there too.
