Many companies decide to relocate to a new building at this time of year, when the office is generally a bit quieter than usual. It gives businesses plenty of time to organise the space and get operations back to normal before the holiday season rush. Moving office is a great opportunity to declutter and invest in some brand new furniture and equipment if needed. After all, you have a fresh workspace to decorate so why not take advantage of the excuse to indulge in new everything?!
Obviously moving to a new office can be quite stressful, but it’s also an opportunity to cleanse the business of what it no longer needs. It’s hard to find the time to clear out those filing cabinets and get rid of the broken photocopier – but moving to a new premises ensures that you get all of those odd jobs done.
Moving any IT equipment is tricky – it is fragile so great care needs to be taken when transporting it, but it’s also difficult to set back up in the new office. There are so many computers and wires…which order did they go in again?! It’s a good idea to have an IT relocation expert on board who has the knowledge to set up the servers, networks and computers once again. Alternatively, it could be time to ditch the current IT equipment and replace it with new technology.
