Plan your IT Relocation by inventorying all your IT and communication equipment.

1-2 months before the office move
Assign certain tasks to staff so they feel involved in the office move project. This might include a packing schedule, how you are going to communicate the office move to clients and begin to organise a new office launch party.
1 Week before the office move
This week will be the most chaotic period of your office move. Involve your Office Removals Company as much as possible to ensure your packing schedule is on time and make sure everything is clearly market. Staff may need to reschedule meetings they have planned for the week of moving. It is at this time that you send out notifications to all your clients about your move and inform them of your new location.
