In business, moving office can be a stressful time. No matter how much planning you seem to put in to moving office, there’s always something which is forgotten or which goes disastrously wrong.
One of the cries for help we often receive is when our customers have forgotten to order telephones or internet and have either moved in or are days away from moving office. In an age where we’re all connected and rely on phones and internet to keep our businesses running, it’s a bit of a show stopper to any business move when you’re not able to communicate with the outside world.
Let Summit take the stress out of moving! We’re experts in Internet relocation and Phone relocation. Our project team will work with you every step of the way, from pre-qualifying your prospective offices when you’re looking to move, right through to making sure you’re online with fibre internet and our hosted phone system before you move in.
Here’s a checklist to help you plan your move
- Before you sign your lease, submit a Service Qualification to ensure fibre internet is available in your building.
- Allow for enough power and data to each desk. We recommend 2 Data Points and 4 Power Points per workstation.
- Ensure that you allow 60-90 business days to have your fibre internet installed.
- Submit your number porting so that you can take your numbers with you.
- Make sure you’ve allowed enough space for your current staff + your growth plans of at least 20%! There’s nothing worse than having to do it all again in 12 months.
- Plan, check your plans, re-plan and then execute!
