Bill.com Palo Alto Headquarters — Enterprise Structured Cabling & Server Room Buildout

Six-week enterprise structured cabling and server room buildout for Bill.com's Palo Alto corporate headquarters — hundreds of Category 6 horizontal data drops, full telecommunications and server room construction, equipment racks, patch panels, fiber optic backbone integration and 100% certified network cabling designed for long-term reliability and future expansion.

Challenge

As a rapidly growing technology company, Bill.com needed a headquarters network that delivered reliable high-speed connectivity, clean and organized telecommunications spaces, capacity for future expansion, enterprise-grade cable management, minimal disruption to ongoing construction schedules, and professional documentation and testing for every installed cable — across multiple departments, conference rooms, collaboration spaces and IT infrastructure.

Result

A scalable enterprise network infrastructure that supports Bill.com's continued growth — a complete CAT6 structured cabling system, a professionally built enterprise server room, organized rack layouts with efficient cable management, certified network cabling for maximum reliability, infrastructure designed for future expansion, and simplified maintenance and troubleshooting through proper labeling and documentation.

Frequently Asked

Retail cabling questions

Can you cable a retail store without closing?+

Yes — overnight and Sunday-morning installs are standard for retail. We coordinate with the store manager on access, work through the night, and are gone before opening.

Do you handle POS, cameras, and guest WiFi as one project?+

Yes. POS drops, back-of-house networking, IP cameras (Verkada, Avigilon, Axis), guest WiFi with captive portal, and PCI-compliant network segmentation — all under one contract.

Can you support a chain rollout across states?+

Yes. Standardized site design across every location, single PM, consolidated reporting, and partner installer coverage nationwide under Access Cabling project management.

How is PCI scope minimized by cabling design?+

VLAN segmentation between POS, corporate, and guest networks; firewall rules limiting POS traffic to payment processors and headquarters; and documentation for your QSA. Cabling design directly impacts PCI scope.

Do you install digital signage and menu boards?+

Yes — commercial displays with mounts, cabling, media players, and CMS setup for lobby displays, menu boards, and video walls.

Are you licensed to do commercial retail cabling in California?+

Yes. Access Cabling holds California C-10 and C-7 licenses (CSLB #992009), $5M general liability, workers' comp, and is DIR-registered for prevailing-wage work. Every technician is BICSI-trained and manufacturer-certified.

Can you work in occupied retail spaces?+

Yes — most of our retail work is in live buildings. Night, weekend, and holiday scheduling is standard, with phased cutovers so operations continue.

Do you certify every drop?+

Yes — every copper drop is Fluke DSX-8000 permanent-link certified to TIA-568.2-D, and every fiber strand gets Tier 1 loss testing plus Tier 2 OTDR trace. Full test reports and as-builts are included in every closeout.
