IT relocations are a daunting task- they require skilled teams planning, executing, and configuring your company’s move.

- Backup & Protect Your Data
- Work with a partner that understands you
Plan It Out
Every success is a result of good planning. At this stage, a point person begins managing the relocation, preferably a member of your IT department with a strong understanding of your business’ equipment and systems.
We’ve seen an IT relocation take over 3 months, a big part of this is due to services like electrical or phone lines taking some time to be fully installed. We can drastically lower the delay by scheduling these services as soon as the layout design for the new office is finished.
Evaluate Company Equipment
Create an inventory of your equipment and the related service agreements with providers. This list will be used to identify leased, damaged or extraneous equipment that does not need to make the move.
Now is the perfect time to check if any systems require replacements or upgrades. It is recommended to obtain replacements early so you have time to test the equipment before the move.
Backup & Protect Your Data
Data security takes on a long dimension during an IT relocation. The relocation itself can result in significant downtime in operations (if not planned properly), but it can also be costly if there is no system backup to rely on in case of an emergency.
Your IT teams should back up all critical data and store these backups at a separate location. Also, contact the ISP in order to schedule your migrations for email and DNS.
The Right Partner
Relocating your IT department can be challenging, but by partnering with a reliable managed services provider, like Cygnus Systems, your company will experience the best move possible. If your team has never performed an IT relocation before, clearly understanding common and potential problems can be challenging.
Creating a plan that addresses your business’s unique needs during the move typically requires an experienced hand. Cygnus Systems has helped numerous companies navigate the complexities of their IT relocations to minimize disruptions in operations and speed up the time to completion.
