Default Reposition and adding new support poles

I am in the process of finishing my basement.

I currently have a 40 foot steel I beam being supported by a poured
concrete foundation and 3 support poles to support the first floor of
my home. One support pole is in an undesirable location for the
designed floor plan.

I plan to replace the one support pole with two to correct this
situation. The total span between the foundation and pole positions
will not exceed 13 feet. I will be setting new footings for the two
new poles being considered.

If done correctly will this repositioned and additional pole
configuration cause any problems or harm to my home. What else should
I beware of in considering this solution?
