YOUR I.T. GUY WANTS YOU TO KNOW...we need to know you're moving 2 months in advance, NOT 2 WEEKS

We love to hear the excitement surrounding your move into a new office; however, you might not like to hear what we have to say if you only let us know 1-2 weeks prior. The number one delay you could face is internet connectivity. Oftentimes ISPs will be 4-6 weeks out on new installations. Can you really go that long without internet? You might also find that your current service provider is not on the list of vendors for your new location and you can’t find anyone that knows who is.  You might face losing your current phone solution, especially if you don’t have VoIP phones that can be used over anybody’s network.  The new space might not be equipped with any or enough data drops, and you might have mistaken phone connections for data connections.  You need to view your move as a project. Ask your I.T. person to do a walkthrough with you or your GC to ensure there’s a place for your network equipment and to determine if you have the connectivity you need. Ask them to provide you a list of ISPs that service that address and what the cost is for each provider. Review the needs of your staff to determine if any network equipment needs to be upgraded. This is the ideal time to consider a move to VoIP phones.  You should have a solid date/time scheduled for the internet cut over; in addition to scheduling your I.T. person to move and reinstall all your equipment so there is no downtime.  Remember, I.T. can help make your move a dream and not a nightmare!
