Moving Office IT Checklist
This Moving Office IT Checklist will prepare your business for a smooth and timely IT Relocation.
An IT Checklist is essential when you are moving office to ensure that your business critical communications equipment (i.e. PCs, phones & internet) are transferred without delay so that no valuable business time is lost during the office move.
A smooth and seamless IT Relocation is achieved through advanced planning and preparation, and can also involve the assistance of an IT Relocation Company who will have the experience and expertise in getting you fully operational in your new office.
This Moving Office IT Checklist focuses on the pre-planning involved in an IT Relocation:
- Arrange a site visit to your new office to establish current IT infrastructure
Review the network cabling, check number and location of phone lines against your new office space plan.
- Inventory each piece of IT equipment
This will not only help you establish what equipment is being moved, but will also enable you to review whether it needs upgrading or replacing.
- Order any Phone Lines and ISDN Lines
This needs to be done well in advance of the move, and never underestimate the long lead times.
- Give Notice to Telecoms Company & ISP
Get all services closed down at the appropriate date and set up the day prior to moving in to the new office so you can test.
- Create a Business Continuity Plan
This will help you be better prepared should you encounted any IT problems or delays to services.
- Back up Data
Back up all valuable data and store at an off-site location away from the move where it can easily be transferred.
