did you know?

A large portion of asset relocation involves items containing sensitive information. If assets are going to be destroyed, such as computers, clear the hard drives first. 

What level of security is necessary to protect sensitive information? What are the security protocols? Is an observer required to watch the assets being crated on site and loaded on to the waiting truck?

It's important to ask the right questions to your vendor. 

Your Trusted Partner to Relocate and Redeploy Your Valuable IT Assets

When it comes to any business's growth, there comes a time for expansion or downsizing to accommodate the business strategy. One potential byproduct of meeting these changes is in relocating and redeploying IT equipment.

In the aftermath of the 2020 pandemic, businesses worldwide are forced to adapt to new Standard Operating Procedures. This includes downsizing regional offices or relocating entire departments from offices to homes or even from one country to another. 

This major challenge demands your team to adapt to new workflows and gain technical knowledge within strict time and budget constraints. No doubt, this is a complex exercise to undertake.

What is IT Asset Relocation?

In a nutshell, an IT Asset Relocation process includes:

Note: Your Executive and IT teams need to be fully prepared to handle the complexities in the project implementation to avoid any pitfalls.

  • Creating a complete inventory of your company's IT assets
  • Making decisions to upgrade, keep, or dispose of your existing equipment
  • Mapping out a logistics plan that secures your equipment throughout the process
  • Training your team with the knowledge of safe asset management (or)
  • Delegating the process to a trusted and experienced third-party vendor (recommended)
  • Re-install the equipment and ensuring that downtime is minimized as much as possible
  • Set up your business at the new location and complete the operation.

Hire a Specialist to do the Heavy-Lifting

Moving your IT assets from one location to another requires detailed planning. Most IT teams aren't equipped nor trained for it. With IT assets being the lifeblood of a company, it's important for your business that you delegate the task to professionals.

Gain peace of mind by working with a specialist. You can avoid short notice disruptions by planning ahead of time.

This is also the perfect time to do a complete audit of your equipment and IT hardware.

The Complexities of IT Asset Relocation and Redeployment

Inventory Management

In most cases, existing IT teams are not adequately trained nor equipped to manage such an intensive exercise. One of the more laborious tasks is taking inventory and testing your equipment. That includes your laptops, desktops, servers, hard drives, and other media storage devices to name a few. You can learn more about how we conduct an IT Asset Audit here.

Business Evaluation

Once that's completed, you'll find in your inventory equipment listed as faulty, needs upgrading, or are completely worn out. The next step would be to evaluate if the asset has any buyback value and plan for secure disposals.

This could also be an opportunity for you to meet your Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) goals. If you're looking to give back to a community in need, you should still take the necessary precautions before donating your IT equipment. Visit our IT Asset Donation and Deployment service for more information.

Secure Disposals

When it comes to your data, you should never opt for the "easy way out". Never forget, your device contains highly-sensitive data regarding your company and your customers. Secure data destruction and sustainable disposals are long-term investments for your business and brand value.

Remember, you have invested a lot into your business, so you should never risk increasing the chances for a data breach to happen. Read more about your options and how you can securely erase and destroy your data.

Value Opportunities

After you've securely removed the data from your IT assets, you can now confidently look into the assets' value-back opportunities. Your old and broken IT equipment doesn't have to be financially "in the red" as they could be refurbished, resold, or donated.

The profits from the sale could then be used to manage other aspects of your IT relocation and redeployment processes. Click here to read more about keeping your budget committee happy through IT Asset Remarketing.

Avoiding Downtime

One of the critical steps in the relocation process is the safe disconnection of your IT equipment. Having a knowledgeable technician with experience in de-racking and managing each server cable is the key to a safe unplug.

Your IT team will need to spend a considerable amount of time on this is you seek to do it all in-house. That scope isn't limited to removing and reinstalling the equipment. Ensure your networks, servers, and devices are configured correctly and that your business doesn't suffer from serious downtime.

Most companies find the entire process overwhelming and too daunting to execute by themselves. Especially as they lack both time and resources. This is why it is recommended that you employ the services of a specialized company with extensive experience in the field.

By partnering with SPW, you can be sure that we have the capacity and capabilities to handle the relocation and redeployment of IT assets regardless of the project's size.
