Technology project management and general contracting for Long Island businesses
TDS IT project management services give you one project manager, one schedule and one point of responsibility for the whole technology side of a move, a build-out or a system change. TDS plans the work, runs the vendors and trades, installs the communication, security and audio-visual systems itself, and hands over a working building with the documentation to run it.
Project management plus the hands to do the work
Most technology projects fail in the gaps between vendors: the cabling contractor finishes before the carrier delivers, the furniture goes in before the drops are tested, the phones arrive and nobody owns the cutover. TDS closes those gaps. We manage the plan and we are also the contractor that installs the systems, so the schedule and the work belong to the same team.
Technology Project Management
Scope, budget, schedule, vendor coordination and cutover planning for technology projects, run by a project manager who knows the systems being installed.
Technology general contracting
Design, installation and maintenance of communication, security and audio-visual systems, with TDS as the single contractor responsible for the result.
Support for your IT team
If you already have IT staff, TDS adds the specialized expertise and the dedicated hours a project needs without pulling your people off their day jobs.
A planner who also knows how the gear works
TDS project managers come from the technical side. They write the scope, hold the schedule and can walk a cabling crew or a carrier through the detail without a translator.
- Scope, schedule and budget in writing
- Vendor and carrier coordination
- Weekly status reports
- Change orders documented before the work
Built for projects with more than one moving part
Office build-outs and relocations
Everything technology-related in a new space, coordinated with the GC, the landlord and the carriers so you open on the date.
Multi-site rollouts
The same phone, network, camera or access control standard deployed across every location, on one schedule, with one report.
Government and institutions
Documented scopes, milestones and close-out packages from a certified NYS and Port Authority MBE, procured the way agencies need to buy.
Six kinds of project TDS runs end to end
Office moves and build-outs
Cabling, network, phones, Wi-Fi, cameras and conference rooms planned from the drawings and live on move-in day.
Phone system migrations
From an on-premise PBX or another carrier to TDS Hosted VoIP or Microsoft Teams, with number porting and training on the plan.
Network and cabling projects
New networks, refreshes and structured cabling, including the fiber and in-building cellular work TDS installs itself.
Security and surveillance installs
Cameras, access control and intrusion systems integrated and documented, on one contract.
Audio-visual and conference rooms
Displays, audio, Teams and Zoom rooms, event-venue sound, designed and installed to be used without a manual.
Cloud and Microsoft 365 migrations
Email, files and identity moved to Microsoft 365 with a cutover plan, user communication and support on the day.
IT project management services from scope to close-out
1. Scope and budget
Requirements, site conditions, drawings and constraints turned into a written scope with a budget and a target date.
2. Schedule and vendors
Milestones set around the trades, carriers and landlord; vendors and subcontractors lined up and held to the plan.
3. Build and cutover
Installation, testing and a cutover plan that keeps the business running while the old system comes out.
4. Close-out and handoff
As-built documentation, test results, training and a support path, so the project does not end with a question mark.
Office moves and build-outs without the dark week
New space, new network, new phones, same move date. TDS sequences the cabling, carrier, hardware and cut-over so staff sit down on Monday and everything works.
- Carrier orders placed early enough to make the date
- Cabling finished before furniture
- Phones and network cut over on the move weekend
- Punch list closed before hand-over
What you get when the planner is also the installer
One contract
One scope, one quote, one party responsible for the outcome instead of five vendors pointing at each other.
One schedule
The cabling, carrier, phone and camera work sequenced by the same person, so nothing waits on a vendor who was never told.
One number to call
The team that managed the project is the team that supports it afterward.
Less downtime
Cutovers planned around your hours, with the old system kept alive until the new one is proven.

What project owners ask first
What do TDS IT project management services cover?
Scope and budget, the schedule, vendor and trade coordination, installation of the communication, security and audio-visual systems, testing, documentation and training. On moves and build-outs TDS also acts as the technology general contractor, coordinating the trades it does not perform itself.
Do you manage vendors we already have?
Yes. TDS can run the schedule and coordinate your existing carrier, furniture vendor, electrician and general contractor, or supply the technology trades ourselves. Most projects are a mix.
We have an IT department. Where does TDS fit?
As added capacity and specialized expertise. Your team keeps running the business while TDS IT project management services cover the project plan, the vendor coordination and the installation hours it would otherwise have to find.
What size projects do you take on?
From a single office move to multi-site rollouts across the New York metro and the 42 states TDS serves. The scoping call sets the fit.
Is pricing fixed or time and materials?
Project management and installation are quoted as a fixed scope with milestones wherever the scope can be defined up front. Changes are priced before they are done, not after.
Can you work on government and public projects?
Yes. TDS is a certified NYS and Port Authority MBE and provides the documented scopes, milestones and close-out packages agencies require. Procurement details are on the Government page.
What happens after the project closes?
You receive the as-built documentation, test results and training, and the systems TDS installed can move onto a TDS service plan with the same team.
Have a project with a date on it?
Tell us the project, the location and the target date. We will set up a scoping call and come back with a written scope, a schedule and a quote.
