IT Relocation Tips
Tips for Moving IT Equipment
IT equipment and office phones need special consideration when moving office. IT equipment is notorious for being sensitive, and it's also the lifeblood for the smooth running of your business.
It is therefore prudent that you plan your IT relocation carefully and follow these tips to ensure a smooth and seamless transfer of your IT equipment to the new office.
IT Equipment Packing
Where possible, try to pack your IT equipment into the original packaging. Their containers are generally made to withstand transportation as well as small jolts during handling.
Call in the Pro's
When it comes to setting up your new office with the correct IT infrastructure, you will need to call in the expertise from an IT Relocation Company. They will see to it that all your business communication equipment is working as it should without delay or interruption to business services.
Make a Backup of your Data
Don't risk moving your hard drive with all your valuable information on when you move office. The transit and change in environment can make your data susceptible to damage so make sure you back up everything and store securely away from the move.
Disconnect the Cords
Don't leave any power leads plugged into the equipment as the connection can become lose which can result in a costly repair job.
Label Everything
Labeling everything (including power leads and IT peripherals) will save you time and frustration at the other end getting everything set up quickly.
