Office Moves & New Locations

Office moves fail when technology is an afterthought.

Phones, network, Wi-Fi, cameras, access control, servers, and internet all have to work on day one. We plan and execute the technology side of the move so the business opens without chaos.

The problem

Move day exposes every missing technology plan.

Most office moves focus on furniture, leases, and boxes. The technology work gets pushed to the end, then everyone wonders why phones, Wi-Fi, cameras, printers, and cloud systems are not ready.

When technology is last

Internet is not installed or turned up before move day
Phones do not ring where they should
Wi-Fi coverage is guessed instead of planned
Network drops are missing, unlabeled, or in the wrong rooms
Cameras, access control, printers, and servers are handled at the last minute

When ProTek plans the move

Current site is documented before anything is unplugged
New site cabling, internet, Wi-Fi, phones, and security are planned early
Equipment is labeled, staged, migrated, and tested
Cutover steps are clear before move day
The business opens with working systems instead of chaos

The goal is opening day, not just move day.

People need to walk in, connect, answer phones, process work, and serve customers. That only happens when the technology move is planned before the truck arrives.

What we handle

A proper technology move includes more than computers.

We scope the systems your office depends on and make sure the new location is ready for them.

Network and firewall

Firewall, switching, VLANs, remote access, VPN, DNS, and the network foundation the office depends on.

Wi-Fi coverage

Access point placement and coverage planning for staff, guests, phones, scanners, tablets, and shared devices.

Structured cabling

Network drops, patch panels, racks, labeling, cable paths, and clean handoff documentation.

Phones and voice systems

Desk phones, hosted VoIP, call flow, number moves, cabling needs, and phone placement.

Internet and backup internet

Primary internet, backup circuits, carrier timing, modem placement, firewall handoff, and failover planning.

Cameras and access control

Security cameras, door access, network paths, PoE needs, viewing access, and practical coverage.

Servers and shared systems

Servers, NAS devices, shared folders, line-of-business systems, printers, and business-critical equipment.

Testing and documentation

Port labels, equipment notes, cutover details, test results, and what to expect on opening day.

Why ProTek

We do not just unplug and replug.

A real technology move means planning, labeling, staging, testing, and documentation. Otherwise the new office inherits the old problems plus new ones.

The new location should not be a mystery on opening day. We map what exists, plan what changes, and test what matters.

We document before unplugging

We identify what exists, what matters, what can move, and what should be replaced before anyone starts pulling cables.

Cutover is planned, not improvised

Move day should follow a checklist. Internet, phones, network, Wi-Fi, cameras, and access all need a known path.

Security carries over cleanly

Firewall rules, passwords, user access, cameras, doors, and remote access are reviewed instead of copied blindly.

Testing is part of the work

We verify internet, phones, Wi-Fi, network drops, printers, cameras, access control, and critical systems before handoff.

Clear process

From current site survey to opening day testing.

The work is practical: document the current location, plan the new one, stage what can be staged, cut over in the right order, then test before handoff.

1

Current site survey

We document the existing network, phones, cabling, equipment, servers, internet, cameras, and access control.

2

New site planning

We review the floor plan, carrier options, rack location, cable paths, Wi-Fi coverage, phones, cameras, doors, and move timing.

3

Build and stage

Equipment, cabling, labels, carrier handoffs, firewall rules, and migration notes are prepared before cutover.

4

Cutover and move support

We move or configure the technology side in the right order so users, phones, and systems can come online.

5

Test and document

We verify the new location, clean up loose ends, and document the systems so the office can be supported after opening.

The best move work happens before move week. Carrier timelines, cabling, racks, phone moves, cameras, and access control all need room to breathe.

Make the new office ready before opening day.

We will review the current location, the new space, and the systems your team relies on, then scope the technology side of the move.
