Renovations, pop-up tenants, construction sites, and special events all rely on temporary technology services: temporary power, rented network equipment, interim access control, and provisional BAS connections. Left unmanaged, those short-term fixtures become long-term operational debt that increases outage risk, complicates maintenance, and weakens security. In this episode Alex Morgan interviews Michael Harrington and James Rogers to unpack common failure modes, real-world examples, and pragmatic choices teams can make in the first 48 hours of a temporary deployment. We focus on ownership boundaries, minimal documentation, safe decommissioning, and low-friction checks that reduce downstream costs. Listeners will come away with a concise decision framework for approving temporary services, a short checklist to hand contractors, and guidance on when a temporary solution should be hardened or retired. This is practical, project-level advice for property owners, facilities leads, IT, and contractors who want to avoid surprise outages and unnecessary capital spend.
