IT concerns when Moving Office

Office Moves and IT

The relocation of your IT equipment should be one of your primary concerns when you move office. Not least because if your computers aren't working when you get to the new office, and phones aren't ringing - it means your business is unable to operate efficiently.

An IT Relocation needs careful planning in advance of the move to ensure your new office has the right IT infrastructure ready to network your computers and phone systems, and that you have securely backed up all data off site in case anything gets lost or damaged during transit.

Here are some IT relocation considerations to bear in mind when moving office to ensure all your business critical equipment is transferred safely, securely so business continues to run smoothly after the move:

  • Ensure there are enough phone lines, and they are in the right location for your seating plan
  • How are clients going to reach you during the office move?
  • Is a reliable Call Divert system in place for the move day?
  • Is your existing phone system and other IT equipment adequate for your needs in the new location? It's a good time to review all systems and upgrade if possible to ensure your business operates at optimum efficiency.
  • How do you plan to test IT equipment and phone systems to ensure everything is working as it should before staff arrive? The IT Relocation Checklist offers ideas to incorporate into your IT Test plan.
  • Can you take your existing phone number with you to the new office? Contact your Telecoms Provider to find out.

To ensure a seamless transfer of your IT equipment and phone systems, download the FREE IT Relocation Checklist to minimize any delays or downtime to your business throughout the move.
