Moving Office? Don't forget your Phones!
Moving Business Phone Systems
Moving office involves a lot of organization and planning, and it's easy to forget some of the seemingly smaller ticket items, like your business phones, when you're caught up in the chaos of moving your entire business. If you overlook an important item such as your business phones you could leave yourself without sufficient business communications when you get to the new office, and this will be detrimental to your business.
Moving to a new office is the perfect opportunity to assess whether your current business phone system is adequate for your current and future needs, or whether it's time to improve and upgrade to new technology (this option is often cheaper and more appropriate). If you are up-sizing, you may want to take advantage of additional call management features and a business phone system which offers more handsets, cheaper call plans and more flexibility.
There are also phone numbers to consider too and whether you are able to transfer them to the new site? Speak to your telecom vendor as soon as you know your move date to find out whether it's possible to keep your phone number.
Moving your Busines Phones
Use the Business Telecom Relocation Checklist to help you manage your move from a telecom perspective. This will guide you through the process of ordering new phone lines for the new office, or getting the points moved to the right location to suit your office space plan. An IT Relocation Company will get all of the installation and provisioning done in advance of your new opening and ensure that everything works when you need it to.
Future Proofing your Business Phone System
You're likely to be occupying your new office for a few years, and during that time your business is likely to evolve. Make sure you have provisions in place to allow your phone system to cater for changes in your business requirements. It's far easier to install additional phone points before you move in, than having the disruption later on. Flexibility and scalability are the buzz-words you need to be thinking about when it comes to your business phone system.
