Office relocations are exciting but also full of potential pitfalls, especially when it comes to IT. At Ask4Support, we specialise in making office moves as smooth, efficient, and future-proof as possible. Whether you’re an existing client or just need expert help with a one-off project, we bring the same attention to detail, practical know-how, and calm problem-solving to every move.
Plan Smart, Move Smooth
Ideally, we like to get involved before a single box is packed. That’s because a successful IT relocation isn’t just about shifting the kit from A to B, it’s about thinking holistically. Is your new space suitable? Have you got enough network ports and power sockets? Are the desk layouts optimised for your tech needs? What about docking stations, cable management, printers, and meeting room setups?
We ask all the right questions early on, often catching things you might not have considered until it’s too late.
Cloud-Ready? Now Might Be the Time
An office move is the perfect opportunity to reassess how your business operates. For many of our clients, it’s also the right moment to move to the cloud. Transitioning from physical servers to cloud-based solutions can make your business more agile, flexible, and ready for the future. We’ll help you assess whether the cloud is a good fit, provide a clear cost analysis, and plan the migration to avoid unnecessary downtime.
Connectivity is Essential
One of the biggest headaches in any move is ensuring your new space has reliable internet. We always check this first, because if your connection isn’t fast or stable enough, it could cost you time, money, and productivity. If a leased line is needed, we’ll help arrange it. If not, we’ll look into faster, mobile alternatives or liaise with landlords and serviced office providers to find the best solution.
A Real-Life Example: Relocating and Future-Proofing
We recently helped a long-standing client move offices after a sudden change in landlord. Faced with a short timeline, we scoped the entire move – from hardware relocation to a full cloud migration. We recommended switching from PCs to laptops to support their hybrid working culture and ensured the new serviced office offered the network security and redundancy needed.
Through regular communication with all stakeholders including landlords, broadband and phone providers, we coordinated every element of the move. We managed the disconnection of their old IT setup, installed everything at the new site and ensured full connectivity with minimal downtime. Our client was delighted with how smooth the process was.
