Managing an IT Move in Farmington Hills, MI, and Surrounding Midwest Areas

Relocating your business’s IT equipment can be risky—but with a strategic plan, you can ensure a seamless transition. At University Moving & Storage, we understand the importance of protecting your data and minimizing disruptions in Farmington Hills, MI, Grand Rapids, MI, West Chester, OH, and Indianapolis, IN.


Plan Early
Start planning your move at least a month in advance. Inventory your IT equipment and identify mission-critical systems. Involve your IT team in every step to ensure nothing gets overlooked.
Back Up Everything
Before unplugging a single cable, ensure all data is backed up securely. Use both cloud and physical storage methods for redundancy. Confirm backups are complete and test restore capabilities.
Label and Document
Label all equipment and cables, and document your current setup with photos or diagrams. This helps with accurate reinstallation at your new location.
Hire Specialized Movers
University Moving & Storage offers expert IT relocation services. Our trained team of movers understands how to safely pack, transport, and reinstall sensitive electronics, including servers and network infrastructure.
Minimize Downtime
Schedule your move during off-hours or weekends to reduce business disruptions. Once at the new site, prioritize reconnecting essential systems first.
