How to Plan your IT Relocation
IT Relocation Planning
One of the most complex stages of planning an office move is organizing your IT Relocation. This involves system shutdowns, the disconnection and reconnection of all IT services, network configuration, transfer of business phone systems as well as ensuring your business can continue to operate throughout the IT Relocation.
It all sounds rather complicated. This is mainly because a company's IT systems and business phones are so crucial to their day-to-day operations, it makes sense to allow plenty of time (and consideration) to plan your IT relocation.
An IT Relocation Company will ensure that any business disruption is minimized (or eliminated entirely) so it's important to seek their expert advice - particularly if you are moving lots of large and sensitive IT equipment. They can also advise on whether your new business phone system meets your business demands and phone usage, and whether a new system may be able to offer you a cheaper and more effective solution.
The IT Relocation Checklist will guide you through every aspect of how to plan an IT Relocation including:
Reviewing your IT equipment to see what needs to be replaced, recycled or reconfigured. What IT requirements to look out for when visiting your new office (phone lines, server room, power outlets).
Business phone considerations; when to order new phone lines, internet and ISDNData Backup, security and Business Continuity issuesDevising an IT Test Plan for when you get to the new office to ensure that everything's working as it should without any delays.
When an IT Relocation is properly planned and every possible issue and solution has been thought of, a company can relax in the knowledge that there IT systems will be transferred safely, securely, without delay and that the new office is using the most effective data and voice solutions in order for their business to function at its optimum level.
