IT Office Move Project Plan
IT Office Moves
When you're planning an office move, you need to understand how you can safely & securely transfer your IT Infrastructure and Business Phone Systems without experiencing disruption to services or, even worse, costly downtime.
Every month thousands of US companies move office - but only a very small minority of these office moves ever go smoothly from an IT perspective. Think back to the last time you moved office. Was everything working properly on your first day? Were you able to log on to your network and get access to all files? What about the printer? Fax Machine? Copier? Was your email fully working? What about your phone system? What about your voicemail? Could you transfer phone calls between colleagues? If the answer was yes to all of these item then 'congratulations' - because you are, perhaps surprisingly, in the minority.
IT Matters Yes - your IT infrastructure does matter! Every business knows that their IT services and phone systems are the lifeblood of their operation. Every minute that the computers aren't working or the phones aren't ringing is time when you're losing money.
Experience shows that as many as 90% of office moves suffer from IT operational issues when they move office. The lucky 10% (and it's not luck but preparation & planning) are able to concentrate on growing their business without disruption to services once they've moved office - rather than focus on rectifying what are completely avoidable technology problems.
IT Relocation Planning
If you're thinking about what makes the difference between a successful IT relocation and one afflicted by issues - then the answer is simple. Planning, preparation and the willingness to seek advice from IT & Telecoms companies that specialize in helping companies move office. They work with companies that need to move office for a living. It's what they do. It's why they're experts. They are the go-to people to help you with the smooth transfer of your business communications infrastructure.
