Office Relocation Business Continuity Plan
By following this Business Continuity Plan, you will safeguard your office relocation against data loss & minimise disruption throughout the office relocation process.
All businesses require an up-to-date Business Continuity Plan at all times to protect their IT systems and data against a disaster, but few businesses actually have one that is current. When it comes to relocating your office, you'll need to protect your business from unplanned events that may arise during an office relocation, so a Business Continuity Plan is a must in order to minimise your exposure from an IT Relocation disaster.
Follow this simple Office Relocation Business Continuity Plan to help safeguard your IT Relocation against the unexpected:
- Inventory of all software and hardware, servers, storage and networking equipment
- How you plan to switch phone lines, numbers, internet connections, migration of data and transfer of servers
- List all your business priorities and data classified according to business criticality
- Create an Emergency Contact list which should include IT & Telecoms Vendor Technicians, IT & Telecoms Company & all internal IT department members
- Make several backup copies of all important data including firewalls & servers
- Arrange for copies of the backup to be stored at an off-site secure data centre where it will not be affected by the office relocation
Business Continuity Plans are time consuming to prepare & require a great deal of high-level detail planning that your in-house IT team may not have the resources to complete. Find an IT Relocation Company in your area who can write, test and implement a Business Continuity Plan on your behalf.
Don’t risk IT! Use the IT Relocation Checklist for more detailed information and more guidance on how to write a Business Continuity Plan for your office relocation.
