Whether your business is moving office or you’re expanding into new premises. Your moving office phone systems is a major project. Try to determine a time frame and moving schedule and set a date when you want your move to complete. A smooth commercial move relies heavily on planning. So start planning your telecommunications move at least twelve weeks before your move date. Ensuring you can sort out any hiccups that may arise ahead of your moving day.

Chose a senior member of your team, this might be yourself, to be responsible for your move and coordinate tasks. If your business has different departments, you should also include a representative from each major department. Then hold regular meetings with everyone involved so they have a clear insight into where the move is up to. Ensuring each task gets completed on time and you’re running on schedule.

Your IT and telecommunications can be one of the most challenging and complex parts of moving office phone systems. So when combined with a technology infrastructure upgrade, the issues can be greatly increased. You need to consider things such as how to disconnect IT and office phone systems. Also when to move, and installed at the new location.

Can your business be without critical IT systems like e-mail or line-of-business applications? It’s important to make alternative plans now or perhaps schedule the move to be out of office hours. Weekends are often a good time to move as you won’t have to deal with clients whilst the move is going ahead.

If you are installing new systems at your new site then a smooth transition during working hours should be possible. Your new office systems can be up and running in advance of your move. Likewise, any issues with calls to your existing phone numbers can usually be managed through your phone line providers. Often diverting calls to ensure a continuation of service for all.

Decide who will physically move the equipment. Either movers who specialise in IT relocation, or internal staff? Once equipment and service have arrived at the new location, who will put them in place? Also, consider who will connect and test them. Thereby ensuring all technology is operational.

There is no getting away from the fact that your office move is going to cost you money. So how much money? It is down to how well you organise your move. Therefore, you must contemplate the implications of the move. Especially the costs involved, and the extent of its impact on the day-to-day running of your business.

Sometimes it might seem like the cheapest option to take charge of the office relocation yourself. However, professional removal companies are there to help with your commercial move. They will be able to provide you with expert advice and knowledge to enable a smoother transition. Yet, keep in mind that this will come at a price and this is something you need to factor into your budget.

We will undergo a full review of your ongoing costs. Thereby ensuring your business is not paying over the odds for your telecoms products and services.

A poorly arranged office move can hit your business hard financially if you don’t make the right considerations. It could affect your productivity and cause the business significant downtime. Mainly from not having important services in place. Ultimately it could cost your business a lot of money. However, if managed correctly, moving office phone systems could raise the corporate profile of your business, grow your client base, and improve operational efficiency. Therefore, retaining and attracting staff, identifying potential cost savings, and giving the right first impression to your clients. Thus helping you to succeed in the long term.

1. You could retain your current number on a constant divert to your new number. Then slowly migrate over onto your new number whilst still receiving all the calls from your old number on a divert. However, this can prove expensive long term, as you will pay a pence per minute rate to receive every diverted incoming phone call. Generally speaking, people are lazy, if they can still get you on the old number, they won’t start using the new one.
2. You could place an announcement on your current main telephone number. Importantly stating, “the number has now changed, please redial the new number which is xxxx xxxxxx”. You can usually take this service on a 3-month rolling contract with a fixed monthly cost in the region of £10 – £15. Afterward, switch it off once you are happy everyone now has your new number instead. This is effective, as you inform people that they need to call a different number for you. Furthermore, it’s cost-effective with no divert charges as detailed above in option one. The only downside is people have to redial another number to contact you.
3. Your final option would be to consider migrating your current phone number “into the cloud”.  This is an option we strongly ask you to consider. Indeed, if you choose to do this, then we route your phone calls to that number to you anywhere you have an internet connection.
