How to Limit Downtime in a Corporate Office Move

By Julie DeLong, A-1 Freeman Moving Group 

There isn't any question that your business will encounter some downtime while you're moving to Denver, the question is the best way to decrease that window. In today's world, "downtime" means the hours you will be offline and isolated from buyers and vendors--not the time put in actually moving pieces of furniture and hardware from origin to destination.
 

You may find about three main components to limiting your time offline, and when you implement the 3 you will be in a position to achieve a seamless changeover. But this is the key--you cannot pick and choose two out of three; there is a synchronicity to this procedure which calls for attention to each of the 3 pieces.

Point Person and Planning

If you were to take away one thing from perusing this, it truly is that you'll require one person in control. And that one person's principal endeavor is to manage all the organizing and logistics of the move.

Establish a budget for the move and set your point person free to speak to and employ a professional office moving company in Denver. Here are a number of various jobs your internal “concierge” should oversee.

Service providers--everybody from the water delivery guy to the internet provider--must be aware of your move date as fast as possible, and any variations in the scope of their work. Develop a schedule of when services will be disconnected in your existing location and when they will be live in the new one. Ideally, there exists a couple of days overlap to make sure you will be covered if there's a snafu with the actual move.

Layout

Get your point person a floor plan of the new place once you have any upfit details and share it with the professional movers in Denver. These details will not only help calculate expenditures (ground floor vs elevator, loading docks, and so forth.), yet permits the crew design the circulation of the move-in. A copy of the layout really aids the designers place desks and also other accessories in front of the move which therefore shortens the actual loading to the location.

IT Closet

Call it what you will--IT Closet, Server Room, Hallway of Sadness and Confusion--the quicker you identify where that spot is, your IT crew has the ability to get ready for running wires and cables and whatnot.

Presumably, if you are moving your business you're additionally choosing the most current in technology. If you've not updated your systems in a while, you'll be in for a happy surprise--that substantial room you required for the older components has shrunk so much that you could only need a small area dedicated to the IT stuff.

Now could be also a great time to evaluate your tech accessories--the equipment that shields you if something goes wrong. These would include your power backups, surge suppressors, fire extinguishers, and HVAC.

Infrastructure

In case you are making use of cloud and your employees can function remotely throughout the move, you could be able to keep going without having any online outage. In case that's not your situation, ensure that your moving magician has each of these details on the radar.

The IT team needs to have all the cabling and hookups for workstations, printers, and phones tested and prepared for action as soon as the new components enters in the door. If you are getting new components, make sure everything is ready to allow them to hook it up as soon as the desks arrive.

Managing All the Particulars

Your concierge deals with all the internal specifics and hands-off information as required to your moving company, providers, and other people which need to be informed. This frees up the remainder of the employees to keep focusing on their real duties as opposed to wondering exactly where they may find the files. It also helps spirits to know that there is a single person handling everything, and they also know where to go in order to dismiss the gossip that you'll be getting rid of the free cups of coffee.

Simply speaking, when you have a strategy and also the right point person and office moving company in Denver employing the approach, your corporate move could be smooth and worry-free.
