IT Relocation for Moving Offices
Reminding you of the essentials in an IT relocation.
Moving offices is a major milestone for your business's growth. The excitement that comes with expanding a team and moving to a new workspace can often overshadow the important steps most owners overlook when moving. One crucial aspect that is often neglected is your IT setup!
In this digital age, it's impossible to run a business without technology such as laptops, PCs, server, and Wi-Fi in your offices. Whether you have a small team or a large corporate setup, it's crucial to transport and install your existing IT correctly. Trust Vibrant Networks, the leading IT company in Walsall, for expert guidance and support below!
1. Ensure Efficient Data Cabling
Data cabling is one of the foundations of your IT relocation's Network setup. This is the thing that allows communication between your technology: for example, data cabling allows your computer to send a file to your printer to print. Without your machines being connected to the network data cabling provides, it’s difficult for your equipment to work efficiently, and makes collaborative work more difficult.
Badly installed data cables can lead to a myriad of problems, including slow internet speeds and significant downtime (which leads to a waste of time and resources).
This is why it’s important to consult with a professional to ensure the installation has been done correctly. If you’re searching for an example of a data cabling project done right, take a look at Vibrant Network’s newest case study, in which we completed the data cabling for a client’s newest offices.
A slow speed internet connection can lead to slow download speeds that are inconsistent, leading to wasted time and resources whilst at work. This makes it an important factor in an IT relocation.
Due to our partnership, we can supply and install networking equipment quicker than most other IT companies in Walsall, Birmingham and Wolverhampton or the West Midlands, making us a top contender to help with your IT relocation.

3. Reliable Laptops and PCs
Most office moves are due to business expansion. With new team members joining, it's crucial to ensure everyone has the necessary technology to thrive in their roles.
Using Vibrant Networks supplied Lenovo Tiny PCs is also a great way to cut costs in your IT relocation, as these PCs need significantly less to function, thus cutting down your electricity bill!
Save costs by choosing refurbished laptops that are as good as new! Refurbished laptops retain the high-quality functioning and polished look of new laptops. On top of this, refurbished laptops are better for the environment, as less tech is ending up in landfills. When dealing with a high-cost IT relocation, it's a great idea to lower costs through using refurbished tech (especially if it comes with Vibrant's standard 12 month warranty!).
Vibrant Networks offers a variety of refurbished laptops, including Lenovo and HP. Not only will you save money, but you'll also be helping the environment by reducing e-waste. Enquire about our stock today!
4. Telephones
When dealing with an IT relocation, it's possible that you can't transfer your existing business number to your new office address. This can be frustrating for your clients, who have your contact information saved. It's crucial to inform your telecom service provider in advance and check if you need a new number. This way, you can promptly update your clients about any changes. At Vibrant Networks, we specialise in VoIP telephone systems and setups. We offer reliable cloud VoIP telephone services to businesses in Walsall, Birmingham, Wolverhampton and the rest of the West Midlands. Click here to check out our latest telecom deployment project!
