Inventory for a Business Relocation
Missing files, damaged business phone systems, lost data are all a nightmare for any business planning an office relocation. But with the right planning and preparation, and having the right expertise behind you, you can be sure your most valuable and business-critical items are well taken care of during the transition of your business relocation.
A well-documented and detailed inventory of all your office furniture items and business-critical data will help to avoid the loss of any valuable information during the move; which can lead to decreased productivity and potential business interruption.
Your Office Moving Company should provide you with an inventory of all your office furniture, documents and IT equipment. This will not only help them to provide a realistic Office Moving Quote, it can also make you aware of any existing damages to your office furniture, for which your Office Moving Company cannot be held liable for! It will also allow your Office Design Company to review what (if any) additional office furniture items are required in the new office, and what items can be recycled or donated.
Securing your valuable business data throughout the office relocation is essential to the ongoing success of your business. Most companies continually store back-up copies of their company data on a regular basis, but prior to an office relocation it should be fully updated and a copy stored at an off-site location. An IT Relocation Company can advise on the most appropriate data back-up solution depending on the size of your business and the complexity of the data.
Use the IT Relocation Checklist to find out what IT equipment, business phones and data you need to inventory to help avoid pitfalls during your business relocation.
