How much downtime did you experience the last time you moved your company office? An office move is a major project which most companies do not have experienced personnel to organize. Collaboration with your company’s key employees ensures a smooth and timely office move with minimal downtime.  Office moves and relocation planning can be a relatively painless transition with experienced IT support.

Planning information technology components of the move is pivotal to successfully getting your company up and running quickly. Leases, construction delays, permits, inspections, wiring, Internet activation can determine your move in schedule. Getting the IT team involved from the start will greatly improve the likelihood of a smooth transition.

Preparations for the move begin even before the final location has been selected. Inspection of potential new office space must be conducted by qualified IT personnel to identify major structural, HVAC, wiring and electrical issues, which left unchecked, may translate into increased expenses and a delay the move.

After the new server room location has been identified, it is important to examine the air conditioning unit to confirm that it is 24×7 and will support the demands of the server room components. The electrical system must have sufficient capacity for your equipment’s load and have the right voltage and amperage and adequate surge protection. The data and electrical wiring must be well-suited for the number of workstations, printers, and other devices attached to the network. A detailed examination of the data wiring is required to verify the integrity of all the connections. The flooring in the server room should be antistatic and grounded. The security system must ensure the safety of the server room equipment. Fire suppression systems should be evaluated to ensure it will to suppress a fire without damaging electrical components and is safe for employees.
