Keeping your phone number when relocating a business

What would the impact be on your business if you had to change your telephone and fax numbers? Think about the cost of remote call forwarding, allocating new numbers to staff and clients, not forgetting the disruption to business if it all goes wrong!

Thankfully, by acting early enough, you can ensure you keep your existing phone and fax numbers wherever you move to.  And with today's technology, you can even keep your geographic phone number if you move out of that area. It is therefore important to be organised when it comes to assessing your current telecoms provisions so that you leave ample time to order any new equipment, set up additional telephone infrastructure and test any new systems before moving into your new work place.

Getting early advice and support from an IT & Telcoms Company will help you understand the commercial implications of moving your phone system and get informed recommendations based on the needs of your business.

In addition to keeping your business phone number, there are other important telecom issues surrounding moving your business phone systems. These include:

• Lengthy lead times for ordering new phone lines
• Deciding what phone lines are best for your business (analogue, ISDN, VOIP etc)
• Issues and complications in moving your existing business phone system to the new office
• Connecting phone lines in new office quickly and efficiently and without disruption

An IT & Telecoms Company can advise you on all these issues and ensure you get the most cost-effective phone system that meets your business needs. Looking for an IT and telecoms consultancy firm in your area? Visit our search page to get the best moving experts on board for your business move.
