When it comes to the idea of moving into a new office, whether it’s your first one or not, you’re going to need to ensure that you’re doing everything that you can to ensure it’s tech ready. Particularly when you are moving into an office space for the very first time, there might be a bulk of tech that you need to put in place that you haven’t before. This is often the case when you’ve come from a home office or a solopreneur startup kind of setup. But even when you’re moving to a new office space, you may need a full range of tech to suit the space. So in this blog post, we’re going to run through some of the things you might need to bring in.
To begin with, you might want to bring the right security solutions in place. Depending on the kind of work that you do and the office setup that you’re going for, it could be that you need to have access control systems in place. You may even want to ensure that you have CCTV in place or a security team too. It’s all about thinking about your business and what you need to keep things secure and protected in the physical sense.
Next up, we have the actual computer hardware systems that you’re going to need. Again, this is all going to depend on what business you have, but you might want to bring in an IT service to help you here. You could focus on hardware alone or go for a full setup.
You also have accessories to think about too. It might be that you need printers and scanners, tablets, projector equipment, tech for the meeting rooms, photography equipment, different chargers and charging points, and so much more. You’ll want to think about the space you have and what it’s used for, and then reverse engineer from there to see what technology you need to procure.
Then when the bulk of the physical tech solutions are in place, you’ll want to focus on software and your cloud solutions. What you actually go with will be completely unique and individualized to your business. But you’ll generally want to have storage options in place, any software required to run your company, plus things like financial, project management, and CRM tech too.
Finally, you’re also going to want to think about the kind of operational tech that you need to have in place to do your jobs. This could be things like cell phones and office phone systems, plus any other hardware that’s specific to your industry. Ultimately, you want to be looking at your tech setup here as a way to facilitate your staff and allow them to get their jobs done. You may not know exactly what you need right in the beginning, but you’ll be able to figure it all out as you get settled in.
