IT Considerations While Choosing Office Space The search for a new office space requires a lot of brain storming and is often the most stressful time for a medium/ small business. It usually involves tons of analysis, comparing various options in terms of spatial features, facilities, benefits, opportunities of moving in to a new office space etc. While business owners usually pay a lot attention to all these things, they must make sure that they are doing their due diligence towards the IT consideration while choosing an office space. The business owners must make sure that the new office space is configured to support their existing IT needs and future goals. They should also make sure that their IT functions are operating flawlessly in the new environment so that they do not face unwanted downtime. Let us have a look at few points that must be in your IT checklist while choosing a new office space
Employee Satisfaction: If the space you are renting/ buying is brand new, there is very good chance that prior tenants might have left behind cabling infrastructure, power and phone jacks. The IT Department should carefully assess the effort for moving, replacing and adding extra cabling and power capabilities in the new office space. Data Center: Smartly evaluate data center requirements while looking for a new office space. This evaluation will help you to decide whether or not your new office space will be able to handle your servers and network devices efficiently and securely.
It should also be considered that how the IT infrastructure will align with your plans for furniture placement as well as locations for printers, copiers, conference rooms and kitchen space. Considering technology needs while looking out for new office space is an important part of ensuring company productivity and employee satisfaction in your new space.
