Business Relocation – Reducing Your Business’ Downtime
Business Relocation – Reducing Your Business’ Downtime
Back in the early 1900’s, you did not need electricity to run office machinery. Typewriters were manual, and paper and pen were a business’ best friends. Business relocation was a far simpler process, since it was all a matter of getting furniture and manual equipment loaded into buggies for the move. Skip forward more than 100 years, and a modern office probably could not survive and thrive without its electronics. Now, when you’re moving an office, you have much more to think about, including how to get your electronics back up and running in as little time as possible. When it comes to reducing your business’ downtime, this is an area that you should give priority.
Since a company’s computers are usually their most important equipments, your primary aim should be to reduce their downtime during the business relocation process. To do so, ensure that plugs and all wiring are installed and working beforehand, so that computers and other electronics can be immediately set up in the new space on moving day. You should also have professional tech people break down and set up your computers, since this should speed up the process for getting them up and running, and also reduce errors. Additionally, since many businesses choose to upgrade technologies such as computer systems and databases during the business relocation process, meetings should be set up as soon as possible to instruct workers on how to use new technologies.
Another vital step for cutting the downtime during your business relocation, is to ensure that the phone system is ready for use immediately, and that clients have the new number, if it has changed. If a new phone system is going to be used, arrange a meeting as soon as possible to teach staff members how to use it. This should also be done for other equipments, such as new state-of-the-art photocopy machines or printers. The more prepared your staff is for the business relocation, the faster they will be able to help the company to get back to business as usual.
