Moving Office IT Considerations – Update Pt 2

Community IT Innovators Nonprofit Technology Topics

In Part 2, Carolyn, Will, and Rick discuss in more depth the changes that hybrid offices and flexible space bring to office moves and specifically to the IT support in the new office.
William Maxwell and Rick Alloway are senior engineers at Community IT with decades of experience planning and overseeing office moves. Learn what IT considerations you need to take and how offices have changed since the pandemic started.
One of the biggest projects you may ever have to manage working in a nonprofit is an office move. The people, the computers, and all the moving parts have to land in the right place and be ready to go in your new location. Office moves can be disruptive, but they don’t have to be frustrating or involve too much downtime.

This webinar updates Rick and Will’s previous advice on planning for an office move. While the checklist and tips in that webinar are still valid and very useful, we wanted to understand how things have changed and what that means for your IT during a move.

For example, many organizations have gone server-less and operate entirely in the cloud now. Many nonprofits are powered by an entirely remote workforce. We’ve seen many organizations downsizing or moving into shared or sublet office space to support a hybrid work environment. All of these changes have implications for your IT support when you move.

Are you downsizing, or moving into shared space? Are you closing your physical office altogether? Do you have servers that need to be moved or do you operate mostly in the cloud? Can your staff work from home during the move? How should you hard wire the new space? What about security, including cybersecurity? What are the most crucial issues 6 months out, 3 months out, or the day of the move?

Be ready for your next move! Join us to learn these tips and tricks, updated for our world after two years of pandemic.
