IT infrastructure Relocation Checklist

With many companies reliant on their business communications in order to operate, taking care of your IT systems is important in any office move. The professional support of an IT and telecoms Company can make all the difference to an IT relocation; they will cover every aspect of your IT relocation from start to finish, and ensure you will not lose any valuable business time throughout the IT relocation process.

A common mistake when moving office is to assume that your removals company is equipped to deal with complex telecoms and IT moves, but unless they have a dedicated in-house service this isn’t the case. Choosing a qualified IT and telecoms specialist is an investment in your company’s future and the benefits of upgrading your systems during an office move will offer rewards long after you have moved in. There would be nothing worse than arriving at your new office only to find that there is insufficient cabling infrastructure to meet the requirements of your business phone systems!

Before your business relocate it is important to draw up an IT and Telecoms Checklist and to confer with your in-house IT departments on your course of action. Generally speaking, the key stages of an IT relocation include:

• Assigning your IT relocation company
• Arranging a site visit to the new office with them
• Creating an inventory of your current IT systems
• Determining any upgrades or alterations
• Data Backup
• Installation plan in new office  
• Testing of IT systems in new office

Having an IT expert at your disposal will not only simplify this process but it will help your business to get more out of its communications infrastructure in the new office and for the future.
