Until recently, commercial relocation success was measured by how smoothly furniture and filing cabinets were moved from point A to point B. Now, the focus has widened to include the far more complex issues involved in transporting and reconnecting a company's technology components. It is here that critical business information and communications capabilities reside. As a result, the tolerance for error has decreased while the possibility of error has increased.

The average growth company moves once every seven to 12 years — not often enough for most companies to build a knowledge base or in-house expertise. If, for instance, your company is moving and your IT staff has never moved 300 computer terminals, servers and related peripherals; and reconnected and tested them over a weekend, while continuing to perform their normal functions — now is not the time to learn. In addition, technology relocation is not the sole responsibility of the IT department. Success requires a broad-based team effort.

The potential for business disaster is real when companies attempt major moves without specialized professional help in this newly challenging area of technology relocation. Since this is an evolving expertise, it is not yet simple to find these services packaged together effectively. After working together successfully in many relocations as individually hired vendors, William B. Meyer, Inc. and our relocation partners in the network design, management and training business and the voice and data cabling business have formed an alliance to bring total technology relocation solutions to our customers and prospective customers.
