01Overview

Planned before anything moves.

Moving IT equipment, whether it is a server room, an office floor or a full building, needs careful planning and experienced hands. We manage the whole process, from survey and planning through decommissioning, packing and transport to installation, network configuration and post-move testing.

The physical work is scheduled around your business, usually in the evening or over a weekend, to a plan agreed with your IT, facilities and business teams. Every item is on a move register with its old and new location, and every desk and service is tested before handover.

What you get

  • Minimal disruption to the business
  • Full planning and coordination
  • Equipment handled by engineers who know it
  • Secure, tracked transport
  • Every service tested after the move
  • Complete documentation at handover

03What's included

From the first survey to the first log-in.

One team and one plan for the equipment, the network and the people who use them.

  • 01

    Project planning

    Surveys of both sites, a schedule and stakeholder coordination, so every team, dependency and deadline is accounted for before anything moves.

  • 02

    Move register

    Every asset recorded with its current and new location, labelled before it is disconnected and checked in at the other end.

  • 03

    Equipment handling

    Packing, secure transport and careful installation of critical IT and office equipment, by engineers who understand what they are carrying.

  • 04

    Installation and configuration

    On-site installation, network configuration and system integration, so everything is connected, powered on and ready for use.

  • 05

    Validation and testing

    Post-move testing of every desk, device and service, with the results documented for your records.

  • 06

    New offices

    Moving into a new building? Our Workplace Technology team delivers the fit-out from the duct to the desk, under one contract.

04How we deliver

Both sites surveyed before the plan is written.

The plan is built from what is actually on site at both ends, and agreed with every team it affects.

  1. 01

    Survey

    Both sites, the kit, access routes, lifts and loading bays, and power and network at the destination.

  2. 02

    Plan

    Schedule, move register, labelling to destination, rollback points, and who needs to know what and when.

  3. 03

    Move

    Shutdown, decommission, pack and transport, usually out of hours.

  4. 04

    Install and connect

    Comms room first, then the desks: racked, patched, powered and configured.

  5. 05

    Test and hand over

    Every desk and service tested against the register, snags fixed and records handed over.

06Questions

Common questions

Can the move happen outside working hours?

Yes. We plan the physical work for evenings or weekends where the business needs it, agreed with your teams in advance, so people leave a working system and come back to one.

Do you handle the network and configuration as well as the physical move?

Yes. Installation covers network configuration and system integration, and every service is tested after the move before we hand over.

We are moving into a new office. Can you do the fit-out too?

Yes. Our Workplace Technology team covers new offices from the duct to the desk: cabling, WiFi, AV, comms rooms and devices, under one contract.

Can equipment be stored between the old site and the new one?

Yes. Equipment can be held in our secure storage, climate-controlled, inventoried and asset-tagged, until the new site is ready.
