# Determining the Telecommunication Needs
First and foremost you need to determine the connectivity of your potential office space different means of communication providers. This will definitely include the internet service providers as well as telecommunication service providers. You also need to determine the telecommunication needs of your company. This will vary from company to company as different business modules will naturally have different telecommunication and internet connectivity needs.
# Selecting the Best Office Removals Company
In most instances, companies would feel the need to shift some furniture from their last office to the new one, especially when the office is located in London. The moves can include server systems, computers, and other IT hardware products. This is where companies need to select a moving company that has prior experience in office removals London. You cannot go for a moving company that has never helped move offices and specializes in home removals. Going with experts ensures that your expensive products are taken care of and do not get damaged during transit.
# The Current State of Telecommunication in the new Office Space
The new office space will have some service providers who already serve the other businesses in the building. You must have knowledge about them in order to determine the possibility of relocating to that building and making it your new office space. In case the building is completely new, this is pointer would not be valid because there will simply be no telecommunication service providers serving the building at that time.
# Which Service Providers have Services in the new Office Space
The second thing you need to ask yourself is actually related to the service providers which currently serve the new office space that you are looking for. This list may have local competitive cable carriers to small scale cable companies to large independent fiber providers and telecommunication companies. The rule of thumb for choosing you new office space is ‘the more the better’. This is because the more service providers there will be, the better prices you will be able to bargain.
# The Experience of the other Tenants in that Building
When you move into a new office space with the help of packers and movers, you will always find neighboring offices in the same building, well, unless you are the first one in that building. But in case you are not and you do have neighbors, you should consult them in advance before you pen down your final decision on papers. Tenants already occupying the offices in the building will have a much better feedback in terms of critical information regarding telecommunication services in the building and the quality of connectivity. Tenants will be able to tell you about already existing problems, technical issues, and advantages. They can also recommend the best telecommunication service providers in the area. Their wisdom can be very useful in the future courses of action.
# Is the new Office Space Capable of Adapting new Services?
It often happens that despite of the looks and the appearance of a building, it fails all tests when it comes to functionality. This may be due to lack of adaptability features or infrastructure for new telecommunication services. Therefore, it is utmost importance that you check everything before penning down the final signatures. The new office space should be equipped with adaptability features that would help you get new and additional internet and telecom services if needed.
