An accurate IT budget prevents nasty surprises during your office move. Cloudswitched helps you forecast every cost — from cabling to cloud migration.
We identify every IT cost associated with your move — relocation services, new equipment, cabling, ISP setup, licences and ongoing support.
A detailed, line-by-line budget document that you can share with stakeholders, landlords and finance teams.
We identify opportunities to save money — reusing equipment, consolidating licences, choosing the right ISP package and timing purchases wisely.
IT costs are one of the most commonly underestimated elements of an office relocation. Businesses budget for removal vans and new furniture but forget about structured cabling, ISP installation fees, server relocation insurance and new Wi-Fi access points. The result is budget overruns that create stress and force compromises on quality. Cloudswitched helps you build an accurate, comprehensive IT budget before your move begins. We audit your current environment, identify what needs to move, what needs replacing and what needs installing new, then produce a detailed cost forecast covering every line item. This gives you full visibility and control over the IT spend associated with your relocation.
The cost of physically moving IT equipment — disconnection, transport, reconnection, testing and project management. This is usually the most visible cost.
Structured cabling, Wi-Fi access points, server racks, UPS systems, ISP setup fees and any other infrastructure the new office requires.
Replacing end-of-life hardware during the move is often more cost-effective than transporting and reinstalling ageing equipment.
IT typically accounts for fifteen to twenty-five per cent of the total office relocation budget. For technology-heavy businesses, this can be higher.
ISP installation fees, structured cabling, software licence transfers, phone number porting charges and the cost of decommissioning IT at the old premises.
Absolutely. We recommend a contingency reserve of ten to fifteen per cent of the total IT budget to cover unexpected costs that arise during the move.
Yes. We routinely identify cost savings — moving to cloud services, reusing suitable equipment, consolidating ISP contracts and timing hardware purchases to take advantage of vendor promotions.
As early as possible — ideally eight to twelve weeks before your move date. Early planning allows time to gather accurate quotes and make informed decisions.
