How long does an IT relocation take as a rule?

Smaller offices can often manage the transport itself in one day. Your IT team's work before and after the transport takes longer. A weekend from Friday evening to Sunday is enough for many offices if everything is labelled and the line is up. Larger sites are better moved in stages .

What does an IT relocation cost at Beste Umzug Unternehmen?

The costs of your IT move depend on the number of devices, floor, distance and time window. After the survey we give you a fixed price; whether a weekend surcharge applies is stated in it. For a quote, you can reach us on 01625978461 or via our contact form.

How is data security ensured in the IT relocation?

Your company is responsible for data security : create a tested backup, store it separately from the devices and encrypt drives containing personal data. We pad servers and storage media and transport them secured; every device carries a number so that nothing gets mixed up.

Is the IT relocation insured?

The moving company is liable for loss and damage under the HGB , by law up to €620 per cubic metre of loading space. Data loss is not covered by this – that is what the backup is for. For expensive equipment we can discuss additional insurance on request.

Can IT operations continue during the move?

Partly: your IT team can move critical services to the cloud or to a replacement system beforehand until the new infrastructure is running. Your IT team plans and carries this out. For the rest, a weekend date is the simplest solution so that the downtime falls outside working hours.

Do you also take over the reinstallation of the IT at the new site?

No, installation, cabling and function testing of the IT infrastructure are handled by your IT team or IT service provider. We place devices and furniture at the numbered spots, assemble desks and take the packaging away again. That way your IT team can start connecting straight away on Sunday.

How is IT equipment packed in the move?

We pad computers and monitors with blankets, pack keyboards, power supplies and cables into labelled boxes and secure everything in the lorry against slipping. The devices' original boxes fit best. Boxes and devices carry the same number as their destination spot – so set-up is quick.

Do you also offer IT relocations for long-distance moves?

Yes, we handle long-distance moves of your IT from Berlin to other cities. You will find more information under long-distance moves . On long distances the timetable shifts: loading often takes place on Friday so that everything can be connected on Sunday.

Is the IT relocation suited to private individuals too?

In principle, an IT move is mainly aimed at companies, but private individuals with extensive home office equipment can also plan one with us. You will find details of private moving services under private move .

How much lead time should I plan for an IT relocation?

It is better to allow a few weeks too many than too few. The parking restriction zone alone needs about four weeks' processing time in Berlin, and the signs must be in place 72 hours beforehand. The internet connection at the new site and a free weekend date should also be settled early.

Does a short-notice IT move at the weekend also work?

Sometimes – if a date is available and the line and power are already in place at the new site. However, a parking restriction zone cannot always be set up at short notice. Call us on 01625978461 and we will clarify whether your preferred date for the IT move is feasible.

STRESS-FREE MOVING

Organising an IT Relocation: Moving Stress-free

Q: What is meant by an IT relocation?

An IT move is the relocation of servers, network technology, workstation computers and peripherals to a new site. Organisationally, it consists of two parts: the work of your IT team – backup, shutting down, connecting, testing – and the transport by the moving company. It becomes stress-free when both parts are in one schedule.

Organising an IT move: the timetable from Friday to Monday

Move stress-free

Unsere Firma Professional on-site moving solutions with secure planning, flexible services and on-time execution.

Most companies want to schedule their IT move so that work can resume on Monday. That works if the weekend is organised as a timetable: on Friday your IT team backs up the data and shuts down the systems, on Saturday everything is packed and transported, and on Sunday your IT team connects and tests. For Monday you need a plan B – such as working from home or a mobile hotspot – in case the line at the new site is not yet working or a device refuses to cooperate. If you settle these points in advance, you can move without a rush.

We are there for the Saturday: we are based in Berlin (Stromstraße 21), pad computers and monitors, pack small parts into labelled boxes, dismantle desks and reassemble them at the destination, and transport everything in the agreed order. We give you the fixed price after the survey; whether a weekend surcharge applies is stated in the quote. If your company is moving to another city, you will find more under long-distance moves.

WELL ORGANISED

Four days, four tasks

The weekend timetable

A stress-free IT move has one main task and one person responsible for each day. Your IT team takes on Friday and Sunday – backup, shutting down, connecting, testing. Saturday belongs to the transport: we pad, pack, carry and reassemble the office furniture. We are liable for your belongings under the HGB. Monday begins with a short check at every workstation and a plan B in case anything is missing. We agree this process with you during the survey.

Friday: back up

Your IT team creates the last backup, shuts down the systems after close of business and disconnects them. Staff clear their desks.

Saturday: transport

We pad, pack and carry technology and furniture, load according to plan and place everything at the numbered spots.

Sunday: connect

Your IT team connects servers, network and workstations, starts them up and calmly checks that all systems are running.

Monday: plan B ready

A short check at every workstation, plus working from home or a hotspot as a fallback in case something is still not working.

WITHOUT THE RUSH

Six rules for a calm move

Stress in an IT move arises when decisions have to be made at the weekend that could have been made earlier. These six rules bring them forward.

One contact person per side

One person on your side and one on ours makes decisions on moving day. That way queries do not go unanswered and nobody is left waiting.

Inform staff early

Anyone who knows by when their desk must be cleared and where they will sit on Monday packs in good time.

Let customers know

A short message about limited availability on Friday and Monday saves trouble with customers and suppliers.

Check the line in advance

If the internet connection at the new site is already activated before the weekend, the biggest risk is eliminated.

Number the spots

The same number on the device, box and destination spot: then the moving team puts everything in the right place.

Plan in a buffer

A free Sunday afternoon as a reserve absorbs delays in connecting before they affect Monday.

NATIONWIDE SERVICE

Little technology, a different city?

Ideal for a few appliances

A shared load is suitable if only a few computers and monitors are moving and the date does not need to be fixed to the day. You share loading space and travel costs with other orders on the same route; collection and delivery take place within an agreed time window. For a fixed weekend date, a transport of your own is the better choice.

EUROPE-WIDE MOVES

From
planning to assembly

We take care of every detail

An IT move usually also includes furniture, files and workstations. If the new premises are not quite ready on the moving weekend, furniture or archive boxes can go into storage temporarily and follow later. Companies often combine the IT move with the classic office move on one date, so that desk and technology are ready at the same time on Monday. Anyone relocating their home office will also find support for the technology with our private move.

Planning safe and relaxed

A good checklist coordinates dates, helpers and materials early. That way your home move, senior move or student move in Berlin stays transparent, structured and markedly easier to control.

Furniture, boxes, transport routes

With a suitable packing service, careful furniture transport and a flexible small transport, ways can be shortened, damage avoided and even narrow approaches in Berlin managed cleanly in logistical terms.

Costs, timing and special cases

Clear time windows and suitable solutions for an office move, company move, authority move, part load or furniture taxi create reliable processes and better plannable total costs in Berlin.

FAQ

Questions about organisation

Weekend dates, lead time, responsibilities, data and liability in an IT move.

An IT move is the relocation of servers, network technology, workstation computers and peripherals to a new site. Organisationally, it consists of two parts: the work of your IT team – backup, shutting down, connecting, testing – and the transport by the moving company. It becomes stress-free when both parts are in one schedule.

The process from Friday to Monday

Friday: staff clear their desks, and your IT team creates the last backup, shuts down servers and workstations after close of business and disconnects them. Cables and devices carry the same number as their destination spot. Saturday: we pad and pack the technology, dismantle desks, load in the agreed order and place everything at the numbered spots at the destination.

Sunday: your IT team connects the network, servers and workstations and tests them. In winter, devices should reach room temperature before they are switched on. Monday: a short check at every desk – and the plan B in case the line is still missing.

Costs and time windows at the weekend

The costs of an IT move depend on the number of devices, the floor and lift, the distance and the time window. Whether a weekend date costs more is stated in the quote in advance – we give you the fixed price after the survey.

Weigh this against what a working day without functioning IT costs: for many companies, the weekend is therefore the calmer choice. With a move to another city, the driving time comes on top – then Friday evening may already be the loading day.

Calculating moving costs: our price scale

Moving costs at a glance

The basis of the price calculation is the volume and the number of kilometres (from €3.90/km). The floor, lift and parking restriction zone also affect the final amount. If required, we add furniture assembly or a shared load.
