Planning your IT Relocation 

Your business communications (servers, computers, phones, faxes, printers etc.) are central to your company being able to operate. They need to be re-connected as quickly as possible in your new office to avoid any interruption to business. The IT & Telecoms Checklist will help you organise a smooth IT Relocation to ensure all your equipment is safely and securely shut down, relocated, and up and running as it should on the first morning in your new office.

The Importance of Early Planning

The earlier you start planning your office relocation, the greater chance you have in making sure business is not disrupted during the move. This is certainly true for installing any new telephone and ISDN lines that have fixed lead times. The IT & Telecoms Checklist sets out all the lead times to help you plan your office move so your business is not left without essential connectivity.

How to Minimise Business Downtime

Any multitude of things can go wrong during an office move, but there are steps you can take to minimise the potential impact of a disaster – and ideally prevent it happening in the first place. A reliable Business Continuity Plan is essential to ensure all data is backed up and restorable in the event of delays or failed network connections during the office move. The IT & Telecoms Checklist gives you advice on what to include in this plan and tips on how best to protect valuable business data during the office relocation.
