Long Island Office Relocations: Moving IT Equipment
In addition to arranging the removal and transportation of the furniture in your office as well as your belongings, you will need to arrange the safe and secure relocation of your IT equipment/computer terminals and business phone systems. (The Physical Move of all IT Equipment) Transferring/transporting office and moving IT equipment is not as easy as disconnecting and reconnecting your computers, so this side/part of your Long Island office relocation should be operated by an IT specialist who will understand the technical and logistical aspects of operating/managing IT relocations. Networks have the expertise to disassemble your IT network and reassemble it safely and securely in the new location.
We institute a Company Point of Contact (POC) who we update continuously throughout the entire Relocation Project, so you will be able to ensure that the move is going well.
What IT Equipment do we touch during your move?
- Computers, peripherals, monitors, hard drives, cables
- Phones and phone systems
- Phone Company Equipment/Modems
- Networking equipment, UPS devices (Battery Backup Devices)
What we do during a Long Island Office Relocation Project
Things one should know before relocating IT Equipment
Do you have a Static IP Address?
If you have a Static IP Address, Networking Equipment may have to be reconfigured.
Do you have a VPN?
If you have a VPN, it may have to be reconnected in the new location.
Do you want to keep your DVR System?
If the answer is yes, additional wiring may need to be installed.
Do you know all your passwords?
Knowing your passwords makes life much easier for you and it makes your Office Relocation run smoother.
Are you the administrator of your phone company account?
If you are already the administrator of your phone company account (ISP), then moving your phone account is very simple.
Do you have the floor plan of your new location?
Having a floor plan already in place, would give us a chance to see how to run cabling to the exact measurement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What IT office relocation services do you offer on Long Island?
We provide complete IT relocation services — pre-move planning, equipment inventory, professional packing, transportation, new office network setup, phone system migration, workstation installation, and post-move support. We minimize downtime so your business is back up and running fast.
How do you minimize downtime during an office move?
We plan the move in phases — pre-configuring your new network, backing up all data, scheduling the move during off-hours or weekends, and setting up critical systems first. Most businesses are operational within hours of arriving at the new location.
Can you move our phone system to the new office?
Yes. We migrate VoIP phone systems, PBX systems, and business phone lines to your new location without losing your phone numbers. We configure extensions, voicemail, and call routing at the new office.
How long does IT equipment relocation take on Long Island?
IT relocation timelines depend on the size of your office and amount of equipment. A small office move can be completed in 1 day, while larger moves with servers and complex networks may take 2 to 3 days including setup at the new location.
Do you set up the network at the new office before we move?
Yes. We pre-wire and configure your new office network before move day — installing cabling, setting up switches and routers, configuring WiFi, and testing everything. When you arrive, your network is ready to go.
Can you move servers and sensitive equipment safely?
Yes. We have experience moving servers, NAS devices, RAID arrays, and other sensitive IT equipment. We use proper packing materials, anti-static protection, and careful transportation to ensure nothing is damaged.
What happens if something doesn’t work after the move?
We provide post-move support — a technician is on-site during and after the move to handle any issues immediately. We also create a rollback plan in case of unexpected problems.
How far in advance should we schedule an IT office move?
We recommend scheduling at least 2-4 weeks in advance for small offices and 4-8 weeks for larger offices. This allows time for proper planning, new office preparation, and coordination with your moving company.
