The Benefits of Reassessing Technology During a Move

• Cost-Efficiency: Moving gives you a clean slate, allowing you to upgrade or replace outdated equipment without disrupting daily operations.
• Future-Proofing: Evaluate whether your current technology will support your business goals and team growth in the next 5–10 years.
• Improved Productivity: With new equipment and better infrastructure, your team can be more efficient and face fewer technical issues.
• Better Security: An office move is an excellent time to enhance your physical and digital security, protecting your assets and data.

Checklist: What to Consider When Moving and Upgrading Technology

1. Computer and Server Upgrades

   • Are your computers running the latest software, and are they equipped to handle new applications?
   • Is your server storage sufficient, or do you need an upgrade or a transition to cloud solutions?

2. Phone Systems

   • Are you still relying on a traditional phone system, or is it time to switch to a cloud-based voice solution?
   • Ensure your new office has the right wiring to support VoIP or other modern phone systems.

3. Copiers and Printers

   • Is it time to replace outdated copiers and printers? Modern devices are more energy-efficient and offer better integrations with cloud storage.
   • Consider multifunction devices that handle printing, scanning, and faxing from one unit.

4. Physical Security: Door Access and Cameras

   • Moving offices provides the opportunity to install or upgrade door access control systems, ensuring that only authorized personnel can enter.
   • Modern security cameras offer high-resolution video and cloud storage options, adding another layer of protection to your new space.

5. Wiring and Network Setup

   • New offices often require new wiring for optimal internet speed and reliability. This is your chance to install the latest high-speed network infrastructure.
   • Plan for robust WiFi coverage throughout the entire office, ensuring that dead spots don’t slow down your team.

6. Water Dispensers

   • Are your employees still using bottled water solutions? Consider the benefits of switching to bottleless water dispensers—saving both costs and the environment.

7. Other Projects

   • Take advantage of this time to streamline other office setups like IT closets, server rooms, and digital signage. Moving is the perfect moment to plan for growth and scalability.
