IT Disconnect and Server Relocation
Moving critical IT infrastructure can be difficult without the right support in place. The success of an office move often depends on how safely and efficiently the IT disconnect and server relocation are performed. BMS Commercial Services is proud to be the safe, seamless and dependable partner for businesses during data center moving.
Here’s how our experienced professionals can help you plan well, execute effectively and protect your assets.
The Cost of a Poorly Planned IT Move
A poorly thought-out IT disconnect and server relocation plan can cost your organization in several key ways:
-
Financial losses: Unplanned IT moves cause significant downtime. This can lead to decreased productivity and lost revenue, with no clear time frame for when it’ll stop.
-
Equipment damage: Last-minute relocations increase the risk of damage to equipment. Non-specialized movers may use improper handling techniques, resulting in items being broken beyond repair.
-
Data and security breaches: A poorly managed chain of custody puts your sensitive data at risk, leading to potential security breaches and noncompliance.
-
Efficiency and understanding: Poor communication and coordination due to last-minute moves can leave internal IT teams scrambling, causing future issues in your new location.
An office move can be expensive, and you do not want to add more risk to the equation. The combined problems these potential issues may lead to can directly impact the bottom line of any business.
