Getting the IT & Telecoms part of an office move right can be the most challenging part of any office relocation – which is why it merits specialist attention.

At ODC we oversee the management of your entire business communications infrastructure throughout the IT relocation. This will ensure that the office move is completed on time, within budget and that all systems are ready-to-go on the first morning in your new office.

Our role is likely to involve:

• A full equipment audit undertaken prior to the office move
• Assessment of IT & Telecom requirements in new office
• Advising on a suitable Business Phone System for your new office
• Creating a reliable Business Continuity Plan
• Planning & executing a safe & secure IT Relocation
• Setting up and testing of all equipment so it is ready to use
• Providing a post office-move IT & Telecoms support service

We will work closely with you on the following:

An office move is the ideal time to consider upgrading technology and can provide a trigger for renewing/switching supplier contracts.  Your current system might well be perfect for your existing office, but is it right for the new office? Your IT & Telecoms Company will advise you on what technologies will help improve business efficiency and whether any cost cutting measures can be implemented.

ODC will advise you on a suitable IT network infrastructure that best meets your requirements in the new office, and ensure that all services (such as broadband speed, digital communications, ISDN etc) are available in the new location. We will draw up a detailed configuration plan of the new office; this will determine the best location for workstations, as well as IT and telecoms equipment such as servers, computers, telephones, printers and photocopiers.

What would the impact be on your business if you had to change your telephone number? ODC can advise you on whether you are able to take your existing phone number with you when you move office. We will also assess your current and future communication needs and whether it is beneficial or cheaper to upgrade your business phone system when you move office.

Whether your IT relocation requires moving desktop computers, printers, phones or even an entire server room, the logistical issues of an IT move can be complex and this process requires specialists IT removals. ODC is experienced in handling this type of equipment. We will pack, transport and re-commission each PC in the new office, together with network and phone connections. All IT and telecoms equipment will be powered up and connectivity to the network tested so that business operations can continue without delay.

Due to the complexities and high risk involved in server relocation, this task should only be carried out by professionals who can handle the technical, logistical and business considerations of server relocation. If your company has dedicated server(s), make sure you involve ODC to execute this part of the IT relocation on your behalf.

Failed office relocation projects have become one of the most common causes of disaster recovery events, and it is for this reason that we recommend using ODC to create a detailed Business Continuity Plan in the event your IT relocation experiences delays or unforeseen problems occur
